How AI Will Change Your Job

Model Employees
This week we reported that Large Language Models (LLM) in and of themselves are not inherently useful. But in combination with quality data and software that can take actions, they become agents. However, for agentic AI to successfully work you need a framework that ties the components together and orchestrates them.
But how will this use of LLMs as agents impact job roles? Smart Answers reports that employees should expect a shift towards more complex and creative tasks. Workers will be able to do more, and be more creative: but should expect that current production and research skills will no longer be required.
