Automation in the Workplace
How to not needlessly scare your employees when automating
Nigel Davies presents his top tips on how to deploy AI successfully into the workplace in this article from Forbes. He describes how critical employee “buy-in” is to the process and how navigating the employee’s fear of change is essential, particularly if the change threatens their competence, autonomy, or relatedness. Business pyschologist Matthew Emerson explains further:
All three of these human needs play out against the backdrop of the evolving workplace but it’s the first — competence — that explains why tenure is proportional to fear of change. AI threatens our need for competence by seeking to replace the very skills we’ve mastered in the years we have dedicated to our careers.
Impact of AI in HR
AI in HR: freeing up time to be more human
Another good article highlighting the gap that exists between the appetiite and interest in using AI in HR and the current application of AI technology to improve HR processes. HR has a unique role to play in helping organisations transform for the future of work, and that includes transforming how HR supports employees and managers with technology.
As the people responsible for hiring tomorrow’s workforce, retraining employees for the future and communicating the value of new initiatives, it’s critical HR leaders align with their organisation at every step of the AI journey to ensure success.

Building Agile Teams
Engineer.ai raises $29.5M Series A for its AI+Humans software building platform
Engineer.ai has raised one of Europe’s largest Series A investments at $29.5 million. The platform combines AI with crowdsourced teams of designers and developers to build bespoke digital products at — they say — twice the speed and less than a third of the cost of traditional software development. Engineer.ai’s “Builder” product breaks projects into small “building blocks” of re-usable features that are customised by human engineers all over the world.
This is a really interesting approach to be able to assemble software development teams quickly and at massive scale. Definitely one to watch.

NLP
Checking for fraud, AI rooted out one company’s sexist language
Good example of how natural language processing can be used to analyse large volumes of emails or other text-based information. In this example, they identify examples of sexist language, fraud or other unacceptable behaviour that other more traditional methods of assessment (e.g. surveys) might not uncover.
