Can a toxic company transform into a top-tier company with AI!?
AI is infiltrating corporate activities.
What kind of landscape will we see once AI agents become the norm?
I found an interesting article, so I will introduce it by contrasting two points.
A toxic company transforms into a top-tier company!?
Toxic companies burn out their employees and force them to work long hours for low wages.
But what happens if the president of such a toxic company gets their hands on AI agents?
・Operates 24/7
・No wages required
・No mental health care needed
・Capable of handling unreasonable demands
・Doesn't get discouraged by failure, but analyzes data and proposes improvements
Certainly, even in a toxic company, as long as clear instructions are given,
AI agents will calmly carry out the work.
They might even be able to think of and propose solutions for unreasonable demands.
A single genius president could utilize AI agents to
disrupt an entire industry in one go.
They might transcend the traditional form of a toxic company
and become a force that transforms the industry.
Is there a winning strategy?
In short,if the strategy is correct, there is a possibility that things will work out well—that is the point.
However, if you just spout abuse without a strategy, you will only accelerate your collapse.
Not just how to do it, but
why are you doing it?
Have you clarified your values and judgment criteria?
Can you accurately judge the quality of your subordinates' proposals?
These points are important.
Business, overall management vision, and strategy
In an environment that changes from moment to moment,
the ability to gather information for decision-making and make accurate judgmentswill determine success or failure.
Since speed can be increased infinitely,
if it's just a pie in the sky,
there is a risk of failing, going out of business, or going bankrupt in the blink of an eye (lol).
When investing money, be cautious,
validating your strategy is super important!
The battle between AI agents and individuals
The second article is from the perspective of an individual (a subordinate).
It is interesting that it is also written by Mr. Yokoyama.
I have summarized the characteristics of office workers who are likely to be replaced by AI agents.
1st place: Lack of initiative (waiting for instructions)
2nd place: Lack of critical thinking (not taking ownership, mentally checked out)
3rd place: Not taking on challenges (avoiding change)
4th place: Not engaging in self-improvement (low curiosity and desire for growth)
5th place: Lacking human appeal (poor communication skills)
These are the types of people that company presidents love to complain about.
I want people to have enough initiative to create their own work and show a proactive attitude.
If you take ownership of your work, you should naturally become more positive, but...
If you can't find interest in your current job,
that's pretty dangerous, isn't it?
AI will calmly do whatever you tell it to do.
Taking an interest in your assigned work and doing it proactively is the 'norm,' after all.
The curiosity, proactiveness, and the ability to keep working calmly and indefinitely that AI agents possess,
might be a threat to the average office worker.
It feels like a powerful rival has arrived...
Since their creativity and humanity are still weak,
there is a huge amount of room for humans and AI agents to collaborate.
Rather than seeing them as a threat, I want to utilize and collaborate with them as new partners.
