Here is my reading: How AI will Change the Workplace By Seán Captain.

Key takeaways about the impact of AI on Work:

  1. Task Automation and Reskilling: Repetitive tasks across various roles will be increasingly automated by AI. This includes knowledge work like drafting documents, emails, and presentations. While some entry-level positions might be affected, AI can also be a boon for reskilling the workforce. Generative AI tools can personalize training, allowing experienced workers to stay relevant and younger workers to develop in-demand skills faster.
  2. Organizational Structures: AI’s ability to automate tasks and analyze data could lead to flatter organizational structures. Fewer layers of management might be needed, with AI streamlining workflows and facilitating data-driven decision-making. However, human oversight and judgment will remain crucial, especially for complex tasks and ethical considerations.
  3. The Future of Work: The focus of work is likely to shift from task completion to strategy, creativity, and human connection. AI can become a powerful collaborator, freeing up human potential for higher-order thinking and problem-solving. Jobs requiring empathy, critical thinking, and social skills are likely to see increased value.
  4. Ethical Considerations: As AI plays a larger role in hiring, performance evaluation, and even customer interactions, ethical considerations become paramount. Ensuring fairness, transparency, and unbiased decision-making in AI algorithms will be critical. Additionally, AI-powered tools can be misused for scams or manipulation, highlighting the need for robust security measures and human skepticism.

Overall, AI presents both challenges and opportunities for the workplace. By embracing AI responsibly and focusing on human-AI collaboration, organizations can leverage its power to enhance productivity, improve decision-making, and empower their workforce for the future.

One of the most compelling AI articles I read recently was about “Agentic AI” —
basically, systems that can take actions toward goals autonomously, not just generate responses. A great example was OpenAI’s recent exploration of auto-agents that can browse, reason, and even write their own code to complete complex tasks without constant human prompting.

What stood out was how this could revolutionize automated testing. Imagine pairing these agents with platforms like Katalon —
you could have an AI that not only writes tests based on new code changes, but actively monitors and updates them as the product evolves, learning patterns over time.

few insights and thoughts I had after reading:

  • AI won’t replace testers — it’ll empower them. The future of testing looks more like QA engineers managing intelligent bots than writing manual scripts.
  • Testing will shift left AND right — AI can help during development and post-deployment phases, closing the loop.
  • There’s untapped potential in AI-generated test data based on production logs. More intelligent and realistic testing.
  • And honestly, the idea of “self-healing, self-evolving” test suites is becoming less sci-fi and more near-future.
