    “In the meantime, the advice is simple: Don’t focus on replacing humans. Focus on how you can use AI to help the ones you’ve got.”

    Our reading: For now, employers should not focus on replacing humans with AI and should instead use AI to help their existing workers.

    Our reading: The so-far modest impact of AI on productivity and return on AI investment could change, and probably someday will, but most likely not until there are more radical advances in AI, which could be a decade or more away.

    Only if: not until more radical advances in AI
