人工智能生产力背后的隐患

人工智能生产力背后的隐患

如果人工智能(AI)能让你工作效率翻倍,却让你的组织创新能力减半,那会怎样?

我们常被告知,人工智能将通过帮助我们更快速、更智能、更高效地工作,从而彻底改变职场。

然而,《海峡时报》(The Straits Times)最近的一篇报道援引了来自欧洲工商管理学院(INSEAD)和谷歌DeepMind研究人员的观点,提出了一个令人不安的可能性:

人工智能在提升个人生产力的同时,可能会削弱职场创新能力。

原因其实非常简单。

我们变得越来越“自给自足”,却与其他人的联结日益减少。

谷歌DeepMind组织人工智能研究负责人马丁·冈萨雷斯(Martin Gonzalez)描述了一种被称为“自给自足螺旋”(self-sufficiency spiral)的现象。

员工们不再向同事寻求建议,而是越来越多地转向人工智能。

  • 既然ChatGPT能立即给出答案,何必还要等待经理回复呢?
  • 既然人工智能几秒钟内就能生成20个点子,何必还要与同事进行头脑风暴呢?
  • 既然人工智能随时待命且几乎不会让你感到不适,何必还要冒着产生分歧的风险去沟通呢?

起初,这看起来似乎很棒。

员工变得更加独立,工作完成得更快,生产力也随之提高。

但与此同时,一些宝贵的东西却在悄然消失。

那些能够激发组织创造力的对话、分歧以及人与人之间的互动,正在逐渐减少。

创新很少源于“众口一词”或“思想高度一致”;它往往产生于拥有不同经历的人们相互碰撞与挑战之时。

INSEAD的研究人员还警告称,由人工智能辅助的团队可能会趋向于产生相似的想法,从而导致思维多样性的丧失。

试想一下,如果有100名员工都利用人工智能来撰写商业提案。

他们或许能产出100份精美的演示文稿,但其中真正独特的想法又有多少呢?

我们或许正在产出更多的“答案”,却提出了更少的“原创性问题”。

正因如此,我认为在人工智能时代,“爱的智慧”(Love Intelligence,简称LQ)变得愈发重要。

人工智能可以生成想法、分析信息并实现任务自动化。

但组织依然需要那些真正懂得关怀、敢于挑战并能与他人建立联结的人。

我提出的爱的智慧(LQ)框架包含三个简单的原则:

1. 关怀(Care):理解人,而不仅仅是信息

人工智能或许能告诉经理员工“应该”做什么,但经理是否真正理解员工当下的真实处境与感受呢?

“关怀”意味着倾听、察觉他人的顾虑,并理解那些可能永远不会出现在人工智能生成报告中的真实需求。 

2. 勇气 Courage :挑战人工智能,也挑战彼此

创新需要敢于提出异议的勇气。当人工智能给出看似合理的建议时,我们会照单全收吗?

还是会反问一句:“如果人工智能错了呢?我们是否忽略了什么?”

勇敢的员工敢于挑战既定假设;勇敢的领导者则乐于接纳不同意见。

3. 连接:共同创造,而非孤军奋战

人工智能将我们与信息连接起来。

“爱的智慧”(LQ)则将我们与人连接起来。

一次随意的交谈、午餐时的观点碰撞,或是同事分享的一段独特经历,都可能激发灵感——而这些灵感,单凭个人或许永远无法发现。

人工智能可以提升个人的工作效率,而“爱的智慧”(LQ)则能让团队更具创新力。

如果仅仅以节省的时间、完成的任务量或削减的成本来衡量人工智能的成功,那将是一个巨大的误区。

那么,节省下来的时间去哪儿了呢?

如果员工只是利用这些时间去完成更多个人工作,那么组织或许会变得更高效,却可能丧失了创造力。

相反,我们应利用人工智能来消除重复性劳动,让人们腾出精力去协作、尝试新事物并建立人际关系。

别让人工智能取代了那些促成创新的、至关重要的人际互动。

未来并不单纯属于那些最频繁使用人工智能的人。

它属于那些能够将人工智能的能力与人类的判断力、想象力以及“爱的智慧”(LQ)结合起来的人。

所以,明天在向人工智能提问之前,不妨试着先问问身边的同事。

  • 倾听不同的声音,挑战既有的假设,分享你的想法。
  • 利用人工智能提升能力,运用爱的智慧回归人性。

因为在人工智能高度普及的时代,真实的人际联结,或许正是我们最强大的竞争优势。

The Secret Under the Mattress: Why would a 79-year Man Bet So Big on 4D?

It was 2007 when we discovered his secret. While moving my father’s mattress, we found them: heaps and heaps of Singapore Pools 4D tickets. They were stacked in layers, a paper trail of lost hopes. What shocked us most wasn’t just the volume, but the stakes. He wasn’t betting a few dollars for fun. He was punting hundreds of dollars per draw—nearly ten times a month. At the time, my siblings and I were furious. Our father was a 79-year-old retiree. We wondered, with a mix of anger and confusion, why a man at his stage of life would need to win such "big money." What was he going to do with the money? We saw it as a reckless habit, a sign of poor judgment in his final years.  Some of us would say, "If I were to give him money to buy 4D, why don't I use the money and buy 4D myself?  At least I have better discipline".  It has taken me two decades, and the experience of raising my own three grown-up children, to finally see the truth that was hidden under that matt...

Have You Found Your Sun Yi and Teresa Teng?

I n the long, unfolding history of the Chinese-language music scene, "The Moon Represents My Heart" 月亮代表我的心 stands as an unsurpassable milestone. Yet, the journey of this globally renowned masterpiece, a song that would eventually captivate the world, was fraught with setbacks: it was once dismissed as "trash" by its own creator and tossed into a wastebasket, later suppressed by official policy as a "banned song ," and initially failed to gain any traction when performed by two different singers. The dramatic turnaround in this song’s fate is not merely a musical legend; it offers a profound life lesson: the greatest stroke of luck in life is not about how perfect you are, but about encountering the "right people", those who truly understand you, support you, and help you realize your potential, at exactly the right moment. I. The First "Right Person": A "Talent Scout" Who Recognizes Your Worth In the early 1970s, composer T...
