This article reports on the research conducted in the working paper “Generative AI and the Nature of Work,” by Manuel Hoffmann et al.

With this insight companies should determine what to automate and who the automation benefits. INSET: "AI Is Blurring the Lines Between Middle Managers and Associates".
