Digital Workers and Hybrid Workforce
Software robots and AI automation have already gained a massive role in manufacturing, retail, banking, and insurance. They also play a huge role in investing and lending platforms, where sophisticated computer algorithms make decisions in minutes instead of days.
The so-called digital workers are already transforming traditional workspaces, performing business tasks like a human worker, only much faster and without mistakes.
Nearly 75% of those asked said that up to 50% of their current workforce would be significantly impacted by the adoption of intelligent automation technologies, according to KMPG 2019 global survey.
Although many people consider automation and AI as traditional job killers, the coming years are expected to witness a growing integration between human and digital workers, creating a new hybrid workforce. By taking over routine tasks, digital workers will leave more time for people to manage complex jobs. This new hybrid workforce is expected to reduce costs, improve efficiency, and create better products and services for customers.
