Künstliche Intelligenz (KI) und neue Technologien wie virtuelle persönliche Assistenten und Chatbots halten immer stärker Einzug am Arbeitsplatz. Das Research- und Beratungsunternehmen Gartner prognostiziert, dass diese Technologien bis 2024 fast 69 Prozent der Arbeitsbelastung von Managern ersetzen werden.

»Die Rolle des Managers wird sich in den nächsten vier Jahren komplett neu gestalten«, sagt Helen Poitevin, Research Vice President bei Gartner. »Derzeit verbringen Manager oft Zeit damit, Formulare auszufüllen, Informationen zu aktualisieren und Arbeitsabläufe zu genehmigen. Durch den Einsatz von KI zur Automatisierung dieser Aufgaben müssen sie weniger Zeit für Verwaltung von Transaktionen aufbringen und können mehr Zeit in Weiterbildung, Performance Management und in die Festlegung von Zielen investieren.«

Gartner Predicts 69 % of Routine Work Currently Done by Managers will Be Completely Automated by 2024

Artificial intelligence (AI) and emerging technologies such as virtual personal assistants and chatbots are rapidly making headway into the workplace. By 2024, Gartner, Inc. predicts that these technologies will replace almost 69 % of the manager’s workload.

»The role of manager will see a complete overhaul in the next four years,« said Helen Poitevin, research vice-president at Gartner. »Currently, managers often need to spend time filling in forms, updating information and approving workflows. By using AI to automate these tasks, they can spend less time managing transactions and can invest more time on learning, performance management and goal setting.”

AI and emerging technologies will undeniably change the role of the manager and will allow employees to extend their degree of responsibility and influence, without taking on management tasks. Application leaders focused on innovation and AI are now accountable for improving worker experience, developing worker skills and building organisational competency in responsible use of AI.

»Application leaders will need to support a gradual transition to increased automation of management tasks as this functionality becomes increasingly available across more enterprise applications,« said Ms Poitevin.

AI to Foster Workplace Diversity

Nearly 75 % of heads of recruiting reported that talent shortages will have a major effect on their organisations. Companies have been experiencing critical talent shortage for several years. Organisations need to consider people with disabilities, an untapped pool of critically skilled talent. Today, AI and other emerging technologies are making work more accessible for employees with disabilities.

Gartner estimates that organisations actively employing people with disabilities have 89 % higher retention rates, a 72 % increase in employee productivity and a 29 % increase in profitability.

In addition, Gartner said that by 2023, the number of people with disabilities employed will triple, due to AI and emerging technologies reducing barriers to access.

»Some organisations are successfully using AI to make work accessible for those with special needs,« said Ms Poitevin. »Restaurants are piloting AI robotics technology that enables paralysed employees to control robotic waiters remotely. With technologies like braille-readers and virtual reality, organisations are more open to opportunities to employ a diverse workforce.«

By 2022, organisations that do not employ people with disabilities will fall behind their competitors.
