OneDigital Employer Advisory

The “most anticipated recession in history” didn’t materialize in 2021, 2022, or 2023. Listen to two financial experts debate whether this year will be different.

Employers have had to deal with confusing and unpredictable economic conditions for nearly four consecutive years. Running a business is difficult enough in the best of times, but this type of long-term uncertainty makes it especially challenging for leaders to plan for the future and position their organizations for success.

In the latest episode of OneDigital Debates, we re-visit our 2023 recession episode and ask two workforce strategists and financial gurus to unpack the current state of the American economy.

Employers were not prepared for the sudden consumer-level debut of large language model (LLM) programs such as ChatGPT. As these types of products become increasingly popular, many corporations have opted for an outright ban on their use in the workplace. Others have adopted a more lenient philosophy and permitted their employees to tap into these programs in the hopes of realizing significant productivity gains. In this episode, we put two lawyers and compliance experts head-to-head to debate the finer points of these two disparate approaches.

Some of the big questions that our debaters tackle in this episode are listed below:

• How do you respond to concerns about biases and inaccuracies in AI writing? Should all AI-generated materials need to be proofread by a human?
• In the long run, is it practical for employers to regulate this type of tool?
• How do data privacy and security concerns fit into this conversation? Is it possible that AI programs could acquire and disseminate confidential employer information?
• Even if these tools become exponentially better in the years ahead, are there some tasks that should absolutely never be replaced by AI?
