PARTNER A you have to prepare a speech to convince your company to adopt AI

1. AI to autonomy routine business processes 

AI can handle repetitive tasks such as data entry, invoicing, and scheduling, freeing up employees to focus on more high level and strategic work

By automating these tasks, companies can improve efficiency, minimize errors, and allow employees to focus on more strategic initiatives, ultimately enhancing overall productivity.

4. AI to access and organize company knowledge 

Companies can use AI to access and organize company knowledge by implementing intelligent knowledge management systems that categorize and retrieve information efficiently.

6. AI for cybersecurity 

Companies can use AI for cybersecurity by implementing advanced systems that detect and respond to threats in real-time.

8. AI for human resources 

Companies can use AI to enhance human resources by streamlining recruitment processes,

PARTNER B  your boss wants to introduce AI in  the company.You disagree . find some arguments

Here are the   valid reasons why a company may choose not to implement AI in their business.

1.Lack of Business Need: If a company’s current operations, customer base, or industry dynamics do not warrant ( to warrant = justifier) the use of AI, it may be unnecessary to invest resources in implementing AI technologies.

2     Cost and Resources: AI implementation can involve significant upfront costs, including infrastructure, talent acquisition = recruiting talented people , and ongoing maintenance expenses..

3.    Complexity and Integration Challenges: Integrating AI into existing systems and workflows(  the workflow = la charge de travail  )can be complex,.

4.    Limited Data Availability: AI systems rely on high-quality, relevant data for training and decision-making. If a company lacks sufficient data or has access to low-quality data that does not adequately represent its business context, AI implementation may not be viable or effective.

5.Workforce Impact: Implementing AI can lead to changes in job roles and significant workforce disruptions( a disruption = perturbation) . The company may have a lack of necessary retraining ( training =formation / retraining = requalification)   programs,

6.Alternative Solutions: Companies may have identified alternative solutions or strategies that can address their specific challenges without relying on AI technologies.

Ultimately, the decision not to implement AI should be based on a thorough assessment of your company’s unique circumstances, weighing  ( to weigh = peser) the potential benefits, costs, risks, and alignment with strategic objectives

A RECAP 

I believe Ai is a plus for a company because it can symplify the recruitment process.

You can, also harness new ideas and innovate 

Ai has the ability to make better decisions than humans

moreoever it is essential for a company because it is available 24 7

Besides it allows you to access and organise vast amounts of data
Furthermore it can be used as a virtual assistant 

 it is a good tool for the management of the company but we have to remain vigilant as to its power and use of data 

On the other hand

I believe AI is a negative thing  because it is complex to implement 

Moreover it does not make the company save money but its cost is huge.

We also have to consider the human side of things as it breaks team work 

Some people feel threatened by AI as they feel they are working with a robot rather than a humanbeing 

Let me point out also that it might get rid of humans altogether in the end .

Let me add that AI can be corrumpted / tampered with ( to tamper with = trafiquer) by hackers .

So we have to learn how to respond to this danger.

Let me conclude that whatever our feelings towards AI we have to learn how to deal with it as our competitors will use it and might get the upper hand/ might soon be more efficient than us.
