what are you saving it for?<\/strong><\/p>\n

by 卡塔尔世界杯常规比赛时间 research<\/em><\/p>\n

what is artificial intelligence good for? we still don\u2019t know. we know it\u2019s going to be good for a lot, but so far, we\u2019re using it only for a little \u2013 just a taste of what\u2019s to come.<\/p>\n

one major impact will be on that elusive infinite, time.<\/p>\n

for one thing, ai\u2019s going to save a lot of time. tasks that used to take hours or days will soon take mere seconds.<\/p>\n

but is that a good thing or a bad thing?
\n
\nit depends. it depends on what you do with that freed-up time.<\/p>\n

it also depends on what you do about billable hours.<\/p>\n

just imagine: you show up for work at 9:00. by 9:15, your working day is done. ai has crunched the numbers, written the newsletter, answered your email, finished the report, implemented the marketing plan and billed two dozen clients a total of $29.35 for the 17 seconds of work spent on their tax returns. you can go home now, take a nap and slumber the day away with the satisfaction of knowing you just earned $29.35 without lifting a finger more than two inches off your mouse.<\/p>\n

ah, but you forgot to ask your ai assistant one question: what to do about billable hours. because that $29.35 isn\u2019t going to pay your mortgage for more than about, well, 17 seconds.<\/p>\n

but maybe ai can somehow calculate the actual value of your product regardless of how much time it took to generate.<\/p>\n

how to spend the time<\/strong><\/p>\n

value is a philosophical issue that ai can\u2019t answer yet, so let\u2019s move on to the other big question: what to do with the time that ai has made possible.<\/p>\n

the recent \u201cfuture of professionals report\u201d issued by thomson reuters asked 2,200 professionals \u2013 accountants, attorneys, c-suite suits \u2013 how many hours ai will free up within the next year. they predicted an average of about four hours per week, or about 200 hours per year.<\/p>\n

the survey then asked how they would spend that time. the most common answer by far is \u201cwork-life balance\/well-being\/hobbies\/rest,\u201d favored by an average of 24 percent. the average among respondents at tax and accounting firms is 34 percent.<\/p>\n

future changes<\/strong><\/p>\n

a similar question got a similar answer. the question was \u201cwhich of the following changes would you most like to see in your profession in the future?\u201d<\/p>\n

the leading response was \u201cimproved work-life balance,\u201d indicated by an exhausted 59 percent.<\/p>\n

the other responses depicted a productive yet utopian workplace.<\/p>\n
