I am the CEO and co-founder of Founderz,and I have three children.\r\n00:21 - And I'm more concerned about the human resources for the next generation than for myself.\r\n00:31 - Hi, Pau and Joan.On the Deck works like this: first, you\u2019ll answer a question without to find out what your partner will say, and then you'll have the chance to exchange ideas and explore your answers in greater depth.\r\n00:43 - Let's get started.Question 2: In what areas can AI most improve employees' day-to-day work?\r\n00:50 - A) Well-being and burnout.B) Daily care.C) Motivation and growth.\r\n00:56 - Or D) The joker.Let's move on to B: daily attendance. Okay.\r\n01:02 - Watch out for these two. No, no, no, no.Why use AI as a psychologist?\r\n01:05 - So this and that\u2014a terribly irresponsible use.Therefore, by process of elimination, option B.\r\n01:11 - I chose option B mainly because, in terms of implementation or We use the \"individual contributor\" role the most, and that's where we see the greatest return as well.\r\n01:20 - For example, those of us who handle a lot of business-related tasks,being able to analyze the information we gather during calls,but also the ones we have in the CRM, in emails, and so on.\r\n01:31 - All of that gives you something like a real-time assistant, like a coach that before you do your work or carry out your business activities,you have everything as if they were holding hands.\r\n01:41 - In the end, it amounts to hours and hours that a manager often has to spend,the money you save and having it in real time.\r\n01:47 - So, in terms of return on investment, in terms of their impact,The one I've seen most often is daily attendance, which is also closely linked to with motivation and growth.\r\n01:57 - In the end, if I have that in real time, if I have that opportunity to keep improving and have personalized access to the information that helps me improve In my day-to-day professional life, it also leads me to C, but In the end, the main pillar would be B.\r\n02:11 - Well, I chose option B by process of elimination.Using AI for well-being is, to me, a red flag\u2014a huge red flag.\r\n02:19 - Having an AI as a friend means that both parties are using using AI irresponsibly.\r\n02:27 - It is very dangerous for someone to become emotionally dependent on an AI.\r\n02:31 - And also if the dependency is psychological, in the sense that \"it's just that I \"I understand perfectly well\u2014this AI is helping me grow.\" He's doing the work of a psychologist.\r\n02:40 - But for that very reason, that dependence only benefits the creator of AI and has a level of control that is dangerous to have.\r\n02:49 - The mere fact of existing is dangerous.Therefore, it is dangerous for AI to exist and, above all, that a company hires her.\r\n03:00 - And burnout\u2014if there had been two, well-being split by burnout,I would have voted for burnout too, because if the AI can detect, say,The most a person can bring themselves to say is, \"I'm not happy here,\" That's great\u2014not so they can fix it, but so they can let the person know person, depending on what the AI conveys to them,Well, it wouldn't be appropriate for the AI to explain it to HR,But I could tell the person, \"Look, there are solutions because there are degree programs.\" open within the company, you could, if you find that what's causing you stress is the team you're on\u2014I saw there's an opening open in another area where you won't run into anyone in the hallways those people you don't like.\r\n03:41 - Or when it's not that kind of issue, but simply that the person is If used in the wrong context, the AI could trigger an alert.\r\n03:49 - He asks you, \u201cHey, do you mind if I start an active search?\u201d Active means by sharing it with the human resources team within the company.\"Well, go ahead and do it\u2014let's see what you find.\" So, I think burnout is cool, but well-being is dangerous.\r\n04:01 - So, based on what you're saying\u2014the burnout part, to put it simply\u2014 What are the main causes of burnout, and how does it manifest?alert or detection of a person, a middle manager, or a role with profile X in For any company that might benefit from it, I can definitely see it as a useful tool between Human Resources and the director or middle manager to that a strategy be tailored to the person who might be affected by it.\r\n04:25 - Experts in the field\u2014those in the know\u2014say, \"AI is going to kill us.\" To the middle manager.\r\n04:30 - In other words, he goes to those movies where there are two walls,but it's kind of like you think, \u201cThey\u2019re going to blend you up.\u201d Well, that would be the middle manager.\r\n04:38 - And what I've seen is that I've heard, if you will, experts saying:\"The thing is, AI is really stepping up the pressure.\" What would the position above middle manager be like?\r\n04:47 - He'd be the boss\u2014the big boss.He's getting dragged through the mud more and more because the AI is lets you play, experiment, and more.\r\n04:55 - It's not like before, when I was just asking for things\u2014now he actually does them too.\r\n04:59 - And suddenly, the person who just walked into the company that manages AI, works with it, and knows how to use it,He keeps stepping up more and more and saying, \u201cThe thing is, in the end,I\u2019m the one running things here,\"orchestrating,\" as they call it, \"a whole lot of AI, and almost as soon as I see the result\" \"I'll send it to the CEO or whoever.\" So, of course, right in the middle of it all was a person who was I used to be in charge of distributing the game, and now they're saying you're no longer needed.\r\n05:29 - And I don't know if this is true or not.As I understand it, what AI will do is empower that middle management layer both the necessary tools and handling all the administrative tasks and bureaucratic so that it can truly focus on the more human side That\u2019s what we discussed in the previous question, right?\r\n05:47 - Providing coaching and follow-up so that the individual so that individual contributors don't experience burnout and can complement their innate talent with things you might not be doing so well and could improve on.\r\n06:00 - With a little more of that coaching aspect, or perhaps more of a coaching approach,not so much that he hears it, but rather that it is merely a means of transport between management and implementation.\r\n06:12 - Question 3: How do you really know what's going on in your How can AI help your business?","_has_trailer":false,"_trailer_vimeo_id":""},"categories":[993],"factorial-categories":[],"class_list":["post-192703","factorial_video","type-factorial_video","status-publish","hentry","category-team-growth-en-gb"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v21.5 (Yoast SEO v21.9.1) -
