With 2024 not being over yet, the last one to public spark the conversation about the AI agents replacing humans discussion came from OpenAI CFO Sarah Friar, when she said that: โ๐ง๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฐ๐ผ๐บ๐ฝ๐ฎ๐ป๐ ๐ถ๐ ๐น๐ฒ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฑ๐ผ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐ผ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ป ๐๐ผ ๐ฎ $2000/๐บ๐ผ๐ป๐๐ต ๐๐๐ฏ๐๐ฐ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฝ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป ๐๐ผ ๐ถ๐๐ ๐๐ ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฑ๐๐ฐ๐ ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ฐ๐ต ๐ฐ๐ผ๐๐น๐ฑ ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ฒ ๐ฎ๐ ๐ฎ "๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฝ๐น๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ฒ๐บ๐ฒ๐ป๐" ๐๐ผ ๐ต๐ถ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ต๐๐บ๐ฎ๐ป๐ ๐ฑ๐๐ฒ ๐๐ผ ๐ถ๐๐ ๐ฃ๐ต๐-๐น๐ฒ๐๐ฒ๐น ๐ถ๐ป๐๐ฒ๐น๐น๐ถ๐ด๐ฒ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ.โ

For it all depends how well you prepare yourself for what is to come.
Think of your company and the various departments (Sales, Marketing, BackOffice, Finance, Legal,..)
There are cognitive tasks ๐ง inside each department that will be offloaded to agents eventually.
Here is the big IF for me and how to co-exist and actually thrive with AI agents ๐ช๐ผ+๐ฆพ .:
๐๐ - you prepare today, to start to preparation for the agents, you will stay with the company
๐๐ - you understand what automation is and what it has to do with core business processes
๐๐ - you are able to translate business logic / processes and tasks to the actual work that is done
๐๐ - you are open to have an AI agent per department and train this agent actively

Within the context of a department, agents will build the foundation of the company from a business processes perspective - they will maintain the status quo.
Humans are their consciously creative counterpart, the social connection part, the part that lives and breathes values and the part that people really want to interact with, when it comes to companies.
That also means that we have to unlearn most of what we have learned in a corporate setup,
which (for the most part) is unnatural to begin with and it will be easiest to give up again.
There is more to it - let's bring the different topics to the comment section. โฌ๏ธ
