The best metaphors of Scott Galloway to describe the impact of AI on workers

The AI ​​quickly changes the workplace, which makes more difficult than ever for employees and their bosses.

Scott Galloway, a teacher from Stern School of Business at New York University and Podcast host The pro G Godshared some of the metaphors he proposed to describe the impact of AI at the workplace in a discussion with Microsoft Chief Scientist Jaime Teevan And Greg Shove, CEO of section, an AI education company.

Here are some of the best metaphors in Galloway:

“Business ozempic”

Leadership and boards of directors of many companies use AI to reduce costs. In this scenario, Galloway said he considered AI to have some of the same properties as GLP-1.

I consider AI as “corporate ozempic”. And it is, Ozempic enters your brain and extinguishes a switch which says that “you do not need more calories” even if your instincts tell you to consume as many calories as possible if you are lucky to have salted, or sweet or fatty foods in front of you.

And generally, when you are CEO, and you grow, the signal is “I need more calories. I need more people. To a certain extent, by offering a minimum viable product with 20% of Twitter staff, and really announcing what was the call for seminal profits where they declared: “ We dismissed 20% of our staff, and while waiting for the growth of 23% of 70% ”. “ Everyone started to think that I wanted the great taste of growth without the calories of more people. And AI is the ozempic.

‘The Stasi Est-German with WiFi’

The “dark side” of the AI ​​is the ease with which it can identify the weak performers, said Galloway, comparing it to the Secret Police of the East Cold War era, notorious for their general surveillance.

Now, I can download all the e-mails and the Slack interactions that I have with an employee and say “give me an estimate of the number of hours per week that this person really works”. And that will give me what I believe, maybe wrongly, but I believe, and that’s all that is important, it is my perception of the number of hours per week that this person really works.

‘Warrior manufacturing machine’

For the 10% higher of the American workforce, however,, Galloway thinks AI is a boon.

If you are really good, this is very good news for you. America has mainly been optimized for 10% higher. Essentially, companies, mainly in America in the past 50 years, have switched to an economy where you use the lowest 90% as a nutrition bag to make the richest and wealthy 10%. And somehow AI of speed balls that AI will take the 10% of the best who work very hard and are really creative and know how to exploit these tools and simply make warriors. I mean they are just going to be monsters.
