👀New data on the corporate ROI from generative AI from a large-scale tracking survey by my colleagues at Wharton. They found that 75% already have a positive return on investment from AI, less than 5% negative return.

Can AI automate jobs? We created the Remote Labor Index to test AI’s ability to automate hundreds of long, real-world, economically valuable projects from remote work platforms. While AIs are smart, they are not yet that useful: the current automation rate is less than 3%. https://x.com/DanHendrycks/status/1983564538781082084
Since there are so many AI announcements, my advice is to focus on those expanding what folks can do with AI (& especially tools that democratize who can use AI) rather than every single UX improvement Skills, connectors & agents with file access/CLIs are especially interesting.”” / X https://x.com/emollick/status/1982932903538671739

Worth noting that your own marginal AI use has negligible impact but that AI is an industry & uses resources at an industrial scale. It is relatively resource hungry in electricity but it seems very resource efficient in water compared to other industries.”” / X https://x.com/emollick/status/1983565898330861888
An underdiscussed phenomena that is starting to happen in organizations: AI-driven role conflict. The roles in charge of design, product management, coding, marketing, etc. in a project used to have relatively clear lines.
