Posted by For the past several months or so, as a result of the appearance of GPT language models in public access, we have seen a great acceleration in the replacement of human labor by artificial intelligence. Whether this is actually artificial intelligence or just clever word generators is, of course, debatable. However, the progress with which ChatGPT is answering more and more complicated questions and solving more and more difficult problems gives food for thought. See more http://artificialmanagers.com/
That’s why we interviewed Prof. Richard Griffith of the Institute for Cross Cultural Management of Florida Institute of Technology about what the limitations of replacing humans with machines are and what will happen when it’s fully possible.
If you listen to the interview, you will learn:
- What has happened in the last two years that has changed our lives, our work and the way we think about ourselves and the world we live in?
- What does the professor believe is the contribution of work and organizational psychology to the world?
- How will artificial intelligence affect how people work together in teams with robots?
- To what extent can a manager’s job be replaced by artificial intelligence?
- How will we develop new competencies? Can we prepare for artificial intelligence?
- How will it work with other specialists, such as engineering, IT, AI, economics, medicine, human resources?
- Why is it that until now, despite such rapid development of technology, it is not possible to buy a double of a manager of some well-known company?
- What would have to happen for us to allow an artificial manager to manage a team at, say, a university or a factory?
- What can we, the work and organizational psychology community, offer to help lead and manage change?
- What problems are really serious and we need to address them urgently? The problems of pandemics, migration, wars, refugees, sustainable development, climate and social change, violence against women and children and economic crises, artificial intelligence?
- Would the Professor like his manager to be a robot? Why?
- What would be the outcome of a competition between two companies, one managed by a human and the other by an artificial intelligence?
