In the new future of work there’s a persistent buzz about AI potentially replacing humans in the workforce. We often hear warnings of job losses and uncertainties.
However, what if I told you that instead of fearing this change, we have a tremendous opportunity to reshape the way we work and unlock exciting new job horizons? Welcome to a world where AI is not just a threat but a catalyst for transformation and growth.
As we witness the rise of AI and non-human employees in our work environments, a paradigm shift is underway. This shift opens doors to fresh possibilities, enabling us to build new dreams and reach uncharted territories.
AI is more than Efficiency, Productivity, and Repetitive Tasks:
To fully embrace the potential of AI and maximize its impact, we must shift our perspective. AI should be seen as a powerful partner that complements human capabilities, rather than a tool that merely replaces them.
This perspective encourages collaboration, creative thinking, and a more holistic approach to AI implementation. It allows us to leverage AI’s strengths while still harnessing the unique abilities of humans in questioning AI recommendations, introducing innovations, and ensuring a well-rounded AI human customer experience.
Beyond Traditional Roles:
The traditional job landscape is currently limiting when it comes to maximizing our AI investment. As we transition into the era of AI-driven customer experiences, it’s crucial to revisit and review the roles within the organization that support this transformation.
The key factors to consider are the organization’s AI maturity level within the AI-driven customer experience and the presence of a C-level executive in the role of CAI – CAX, responsible for overseeing the complete AI human customer experience.
Once these foundational elements are in place, it’s essential to reevaluate and redefine the job descriptions and responsibilities of employees who support the AI-driven customer experience. Empowering them with new roles and responsibilities focused on managing AI and the overall AI human customer experience is vital.
A Gap to Bridge:
It starts with an understanding of where the strengths of both sides lie. AI excels in processing vast amounts of data and identifying patterns, while human strength lies in creative thinking and the ability to question AI recommendations and introduce change.
Currently, we often observe humans following AI recommendations without engaging in creative thinking, merely to demonstrate productivity by implementing AI tools.
This results in AI taking the driver’s seat when it was not designed to be in that role. To bridge this gap effectively, we need to rethink our approach to AI and foster a more balanced partnership that maximizes the unique strengths of both humans and AI.
Now it is time to explore what human investment we need to do in order to support and excel our AI human partnership.
Presenting a New Job Opportunity:
To kickstart this conversation and take our AI Human Customer Experience to a whole new level, I propose a new job role that I believe is essential for thriving in the AI-powered era already today.

Through this case study, you see that new job opportunities are available when we shift our mindset from seeing AI as a tool to a non-human employee.
From me:
If we don’t fully tap into AI’s potential, we’re missing out twice.
Firstly, we can’t make the most of our AI investments.
Secondly, there’s a risk of turning our human employees into AI operators.
That would be a shame in my view. Organizations have invested a lot of time and effort in training and empowering their people. But if we implement AI without care, we might undo the progress we’ve made in nurturing a culture of creative thinking. I’m here information and asistance to make sure that doesn’t happen.”
