24 分钟Recently, I called up my colleague Callum Borchers to talk about AI in the workplace,
in our workplace, the Wall Street Journal, and workplaces in general.
Do you use AI for work?
You know, I do.
Maybe less so than some folks.
I mean, probably it's most helpful during our headline brainstorming session.
You know, my editor and I often use it.
In fact, he jokingly refers to it as the intern,
and I think that that's often a good way to think about it.
I tend to use it mostly like a research assistant.
Like a way more helpful version of Google.
And I've gone to some newsroom training sessions about harnessing its potential while avoiding its pitfalls.
This is probably where a lot of people are.
You're hearing about it at work, you're dabbling a bit, but man, what exactly are we supposed to do?
Callum's been talking to people on all sides of the AI conversation at work, both employees and bosses.
His column, On the Clock, is about people's careers and work lives.
How would you describe people are feeling about it?
Uneasy, I think, is the word that comes to mind.
I mean, I think that, you know, for every worker who sees some time savings,
who sees some opportunity, there's another worker I talk to who feels really threatened by AI.
