- Microsoft PDG says that AI has not yet had its Excel moment
- Real advantages must be measured in its GDP contribution
- AI will allow knowledge workers to focus on the work of knowledge
Satya Nadella said that AI should be measured on its profit for GDP, rather than “Act’s autonomy,” said Microsoft CEO on the Dwarkesh Patel podcast earlier this month -ci.
“It’s just an absurd reference hacking,” he said, saying that AI had not yet found the application that would make years of media threshing a reality.
“When we say:” Oh, it’s like the industrial revolution “, have this type of growth in the industrial revolution. This means for me, 10%, seven percent for the developed world. Adjusted inflation, increasing at 5%, is the real marker, “said Nadella.
GDP boosting, improving “knowledge work”
Nadella used Microsoft Excel as a comparison for how AI has not yet found its place in the modern workplace, with physical documents and faxes to be an arduous task that would present a forecast “maybe just in time for the next quarter ”.
“Then someone said:” Hey, I’m just going to take an Excel spreadsheet, put it in an email, send it, people will modify it and I will have forecasts. “The entire forecasting trade process has changed because the work artifact and the workflow have changed. This is what must happen with the introduction of AI in knowledge work,” declared Nadella.
But Microsoft’s CEO does not think that AI will replace knowledge work, but will release more time for knowledge workers to focus on greater value tasks, asking “who said that the objective of was my life for sorting my email? ”
Many workers are already living in the fear of being replaced because companies consider AI as a tool to reduce costs and increase benefits. Fortunately for us, the main obstacles to prevent AGE – or AI models by cognitive capacities that go beyond the human brain – to replace human workers are legal problems.
“Today, you cannot deploy these intelligences less and until there is someone who compensates him as a human,” said Nadella.
