Researchers from the Consulting Society Betterup LabsIn collaboration with Stanford Social Media Lab, invented a new term to describe the work generated by Ai-Généré: “Workslop”.
As defined in an article Posted this week in the Harvard Business ReviewWorkslop is “work content generated by AI that emerges as a good job, but does not have the substance to make a given a given task advance”.
The researchers from Betterup Labs suggest that Workslop could be an explanation of the 95% of organizations that have tried AI but report See zero return to this investment. Workslop, they write, maybe “useless, incomplete or missing a crucial context”, which simply creates more work for everyone.
“The insidious effect of Workslop is that he moves the burden of the work downstream, forcing the receiver to interpret, correct or redo the work,” they write.
Researchers also led a current survey Out of 1,150 full-time employees based in the United States, with 40% of respondents saying that they had received workslop in the last month.
To avoid this, the researchers say that the work managers must “model the thoughtful use of the AI which has a goal and an intention” and “define clear railings for your teams around standards and acceptable use”.
