Artificial Intelligence to cut digital chores at work: Study

The enormous volume of data, including emails and chats, that employees deal with everyday is hurting productivity. According to a Microsoft report, 83% Indians want to delegate as much work as possible to ‘co-pilot’ AI.

“Every minute spent managing this digital debt is a minute not spent on creative work,” the 2023 Work Trend Index, which surveyed 31,000 people across 31 countries, said. Attempting to assuage fears about AI replacing jobs, the report stressed on the emergence of a new AIemployee alliance.

While 74% of Indian workers say they’re worried AIwill replace their jobs, Microsoft said that over three in four Indian workers would be comfortable using AI not just for administrative tasks (86%) but also for analytical work (88%), and even creative aspects of their role (87%).
