IT and communications offerings are a mixture of tools to improve productivity and automation to reduce headcount. In the case of generative AI the world is still amazed at the extent to which computers can now produce semi-human (and sometimes super-human) results. At the beginning of the Internet age we learnt that computerized help is ten times cheaper than human intervention. The difference with AI is that it is becoming harder to differentiate between humans and machines. I predict that there will be major industrial action taken by trades unions and individuals during 2025 to counter the rush to deploy those AI systems that replace humans. I predict that resistance will take the form of new luddites, eager to disrupt the IT systems of those organizations that do most to exploit the use of AI to reduce their workforces.
