Accenture executive says AI can speed up work, but won’t raise productivity unless…
Ramine Tinati, lead at Accenture, APAC Center for Advanced AI recently said that artificial intelligence (AI) tools may help people finish tasks faster, but they don’t automatically make workers more productive unless companies rethink how work is done. Speaking at Fortune’s Brainstorm AI Singapore conference recently, Tinati said “If you give employees a tool to do things faster, they do it faster. But are they more productive? Probably not, because they do it faster and then go for coffee breaks”.
According to the Accenture executive, speeding up existing tasks isn’t enough. Real productivity improvements, he said, require companies to redesign their workflows completely.
