대화
A: With that said, AI and automation are really front and center in discussions these days.
B: Yeah, it’s definitely a revolutionary time. Just look at how relevant this topic has become in business and technology.
A: Exactly. It’s been around for a while, but now it feels like it’s finally becoming real.
B: True, it used to be more of a science fiction concept, but now companies are seriously considering how it might affect their operations.
A: Especially with so many companies trying to cut labor costs, AI seems like a natural solution for them.
B: Right. Labor costs form a large portion of expenses, especially in service-related roles.
A: And given the macro environment, businesses are driven to find more efficient ways to operate.
B: They finally have the computing capacity and data storage needed to implement advanced AI solutions.
A: The question is, what’s the value of human workers in a world where AI can do so much?
B: That’s a tough one. I think we need to outline both the potential benefits and risks of AI.
A: Sure, the potential benefits are clear—efficiency, cost reduction, and improved decision-making.
B: But we can’t ignore the risks, like job displacement and the ethical concerns around automation.
A: True, and Covid-19 accelerated the adoption of AI in many industries.
B: Definitely. Companies that had exposure to automation before the pandemic were better positioned to handle disruptions.
A: So, from a company’s perspective, investing in AI makes sense, but we still need to think about the human impact.
B: Yeah, without further ado, the key is finding a balance between leveraging(활용하다) AI and maintaining meaningful roles for human workers.
