Is AI just a futuristic jargon or a remote enabler?

Stay ahead of how AI is reshaping remote and hybrid workforces  
No, we’re not going to be talking about AI replacing human jobs. Working with intelligence is not an entirely novel concept. In recent months, however, the focus has shifted to how generative AI helps businesses harness the full potential of remote and hybrid workforces. Something tells us that the new hybrid is “AI + Humans”.

While the rise of AI has prompted excitement about the future paradigm of work, there’s also anxiety. Let’s delve into the moment — how AI is reshaping remote work — insights into employee productivity, company behaviour, and industry trends.

★ Automation:

81% of remote workers believe AI increases productivity (Source: SnapLogic). With automation in the picture, AI technologies and solutions have been automating repetitive routine processes that otherwise take up a sea of an employee’s time, allowing them to focus on brainy tasks. AI-powered chatbots that handle consumer requests and frequently asked questions are an excellent example (Source: Forbes).
A bright fact: Companies using AI to automate tasks may boost their productivity by up to 40% by 2035 (Source: Accenture).
★ Collaboration:
Virtual conference platforms such as Zoom and Microsoft Teams are getting creative in ensuring a collaborative team by employing AI to improve voice and video quality. Other interesting features on their radar include auto-captioning, creating minutes of meetings, automatically distributing meeting notes, and so forth.
Why it matters: AI in video conferencing is a game changer. Features like real time audio transcription, noise cancellation, and automated note taking would enable intelligent collaboration. For every effort you invest in creating a collaborative team, it is followed by four times improved productivity (Source: Fowmedia). Everything swings down to this. 
★ Workflow Management:
AI-enabled workflow management tools are exploring creative ways to help organisations track employee productivity. 40% of global organisations consider business process management (BPM) to be AI’s greatest gift. (Source: Forbes)

What’s more: Companies may fuel their decision making by employing AI to search, extract, analyse, and transform data into insights. These decisions may translate into smarter hiring, identifying areas for improvement, and intelligent work allocation.
