A Wharton professor believes that businesses should motivate their employees to share their individual AI-enhanced productivity hacks, despite the prevalent practice of hiding these tactics due to corporate restrictions.
Worker's Use of AI and Secrecy:
- Employees are increasingly using AI tools, such as OpenAI's ChatGPT, to boost their personal productivity and manage multiple jobs.
- However, due to strict corporate rules against AI use, these employees often keep their AI usage secret.
Issues with Corporate Restrictions:
- Companies tend to ban AI tools because of privacy and legal worries.
- These restrictions result in workers being reluctant to share their AI-driven productivity improvements, fearing potential penalties.
- Despite the bans, employees often find ways to circumvent these rules, like using their personal devices to access AI tools.
Proposed Incentives for Disclosure:
- The Wharton professor suggests that companies should incentivize employees to disclose their uses of AI.
- Proposed incentives could include shorter workdays, making the trade-off beneficial for both employees and the organization.
Anticipated Impact of AI:
- Generative AI is projected to significantly transform the labor market, particularly affecting white-collar and college-educated workers.
- As per a Goldman Sachs analysis, this technology could potentially affect 300 million full-time jobs and significantly boost global labor productivity.
