    They have that negative thought because of themselves. Nonprofits were purposely left to public charity from the beginning for a reason. Meaning if the public cared for the public’s health more would be done to make sure everything is getting done. Those that don’t of course will choose to be and look at it negatively because they want others to be accountable without their input but for their benefit. That’s heaven not earth

  • @chriss2295

    More jobs? A move to efficiency means less human workers. At some point there will be an appearance of a boom but it will eventually lead to less headcount.

  • @hrahman3123
    @hrahman3123 26 днів тому

    This will automate many jobs. The ones getting promoted probably come from organizations that are not so overly staffed. The workforce will become a mix of human employees and agent team members. It will inevitably lead to lower human headcount overall. Microsoft’s CEO, Satya, even touched on this in his latest interview.

    • @biosecurePM
      @biosecurePM 23 дні тому

      That's a limited mindset. Instead of business automation, one could think of business augmentation. Yes you could decrease your 1000 people headcount to 100 employees, but with correct usage of AI capabilities, your 1000 people company could also perform at the equivalent of a 100000 people enterprise.
