Business executives explain how using AI helps them make the most of their vacations and holidays.
It's not easy for executives and business leaders to completely disconnect during the holidays. They often worry about missing an important event at work or taking forever to catch up on everything they missed and all the unread messages and emails once they return to the office. This mental load can be eased thanks to AI, as two female bosses of US-based companies testify.
Lindsey Scrase, COO of Checkr Inc., explains to Bloomberg that Copilot, Microsoft's AI assistant, allowed her to fully enjoy a nine-day vacation in Japan. Copilot synthesized the key lessons learned from the hundreds of messages her teams shared on Slack during her absence, allowing her to quickly get back into the swing of things. Better still, the executive also used AI during her stay to help her plan an itinerary and get useful information about her destinations.
AI Frees Up Time to Enjoy Your Vacation
The media outlet also features Sandra Humbles, Director of Learning at pharmaceutical giant Johnson & Johnson. She also uses Copilot, which has allowed her to automate time-consuming tasks like sorting emails and planning projects. She claims that AI saves her 30% of her time and that integrating it into her workflow allows her to stress less and better disconnect on weekends or when she goes on vacation.
While small hands may fear being replaced by AI tools, this technology seems to be a boon for decision-makers, who can improve their company's productivity, reduce costs, and relieve themselves of certain tasks to redirect their energy to other activities or to rest.
A few days ago, Sebastian Siemiatkowski, CEO of the startup Klarna, presented his company's latest financial results in a video featuring his AI avatar instead of himself. What if even managers were no longer indispensable?
