Using AI at work shouldn’t be a secret.

As the world adapts to AI, what does ethical use of AI at work look like? And is it going to replace our jobs?

In this episode, we take a realistic look at how workers can use AI at work to improve efficiency, whilst highlighting the importance of maintaining our human edge.

To shed light on the topic, Jordan is joined by AI and automation specialist Martyn Redstone, and Victoria Allwright, IT Services Director at Experis UK.

You’ll learn:

  • The dos and don’ts when it comes to using AI at work
  • Tips on improving efficiency and productivity with AI
  • The tasks that AI is likely to replace – and the human skills that are more important than ever.
