When AI Comes for Knowledge Workers (Fir...

Boston Consulting Group BCG
About this episode

BCG's Matthew Sinclair explores the future working relationship between human and machine. Will a coming generation of AI bots be able to generate and iterate ideas as well as or better than people? Will knowledge workers be replaced by machines? BCG’s Matthew Sinclair imagines a future where technology could replace writers, software engineers, and, yes, consultants – although he’s not convinced that businesses should lose the human touch. There are inherent risks in handing over the most creative elements of your business to bots – including perpetuating what Sinclair calls “the tyranny of the banal.”
