Moderna, the biotech company, decided to merge its Tech and HR divisions. From thr article –
“The biotech company late last year announced the creation of a new role, chief people and digital technology officer, promoting its human resources chief Tracey Franklin to the spot.
Franklin said she is redesigning teams across the company based on what work is best done by people versus what can be automated with technology, including the tech it leverages from a partnership with AI giant OpenAI. Roles are being created, eliminated and reimagined as a result, she said.
One of the implications of the rapid increase of AI capabilities coupled with the rapid decrease in cost is that organizations are going to find different answers to the question – which workflows would be cheaper if solved by compute vs. humans?
It is important to remember that these questions have been asked my organizational leaders for the past hundred years.
The difference, however, is that the answers are different now.
