The Future of Work is... Complicated.

AI is a useful tool. In some cases it automates routine work, speeds up analysis, and helps people make decisions faster. It can even be used for strategic purposes. In other cases it creates more noise, more cost, and more confidence than accuracy.

Organizations that use AI effectively may gain an advantage. Organizations that use it poorly may simply automate bad processes. Using AI does not make an organization innovative, strategic, or competitive. It simply means the organization is using AI. The question is no longer whether you're using AI. The question is whether it's solving a real problem, creating measurable value, or just keeping up with the latest trend.

In addition to the generative AI team plan I have access to through work, we use at least twelve applications with AI offerings - some free, most not. Most of them offer efficiency which, in some cases, can offer an advantage. We are more willing to pay for those cases. We've implemented a reporting tool that has AI features built in that allow users to ask questions of the data; it's beginning to prove its worth. We're limiting who has access to the AI part of the tool because who knows how to budget for tokens when access is not controlled. Most people just need to view the results, anyway.

Our work management tool also has an AI offering. A few of us have tried it out. It's like a administrative assistant that still needs a little training. The real problem is the licensing. Unlike the reporting tool, we can't assign it to the five people that would benefit from it - it's everyone or no one, meaning we'd be paying for close to 50 people to have access to a tool that doesn't benefit them. The cost outweighs the benefit.
