Artificial Intelligence is certainly one of those new technologies (relatively new anyway) that gets pushed on the work force without much instruction being provided on how to use it. At least, that’s been my experience with it in the federal government. Don’t get me wrong, there is training available, but you as the individual employee has to seek it out instead of there being full-scale, in-person instruction.
I guess this has kind of been the norm for a lot of things (programs, tech) in the government. I mean lots of institutions (to include the government as a whole) started using Microsoft Teams not too long ago, which is a great program in my humble opinion, but like most software there were logical steps to follow to get it to work properly. Then, installing One Drive and syncing the two… etc. …
With AI, its the wild-wild-west (right now anyway). What it (AI / LLM) produces is based on the individual user’s prompting abilities. And even then, the output (should) be verified if it is to be used in any sort of professional setting. With a piece of “regular” technology, one specific step in the process normally has the exact same outcome EVERY time. Of course, with AI it’s hit-or-miss.
But, I guess the more everyone across the globe is using it… Whether they’re using it “efficiently” or not, still helps to TRAIN the AI. Maybe that’s the primary objective for pushing it on all of us in the work force… Not to necessarily / only make better employees, create better, more “productive” organizations, but primarily to enable “The AI” to GROW at a faster rate.
