The Rise of the Digital Advisor

Many employees today are turning to chatbots for advice on how to deal with a difficult boss, or how to ask for a promotion. Artificial intelligence is characterized by complete neutrality, rapid response, and the provision of ready-made, thoughtful templates.

The value of the human element

On the other hand, artificial intelligence lacks a true understanding of the institutional context and internal culture of the company. Your coworker knows the landscape of management, understands non-verbal cues, and can provide personalized advice tailored to the actual work environment.

A hybrid approach is the answer

The best strategy is to combine the two: Use AI to get drafts of difficult emails or to structure your ideas, then present them to a trusted colleague for the human touch and final approval before implementation.
