AI in the Workplace: Navigating Challenges and Embracing Opportunities

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. - Sept. 24, 2024 - PRLog -- Artificial Intelligence is revolutionizing how companies do business. With Generative AI, 50% of today's business activities could be automated 10 years earlier than previously estimated, research suggests. It will likely affect hours, tasks and responsibilities for workers across wage rates and educational backgrounds. Already, organizations using ChatGPT report that tasks are completed 25% faster and with more than 40% higher-quality results. To help companies adapt to the new AI reality, on Oct. 10 the School of Management at California Lutheran University will present "AI in the Workplace: Navigating Challenges and Embracing Opportunities."
