Have you ever received poor-quality AI-generated content at work? This is ‘workslop’: AI-written content that looks good - but which is, in fact, so low in quality that it creates more work for the person on the receiving end. 40% of US workers say they have been sent workslop, in a survey by BetterUp and Stanford Social Media Lab. And as bringing a piece of workslop up to scratch can take around two hours, it’s costing businesses in lost productivity. Here, Alexi Robichaux, CEO of BetterUp, explains the problem, alongside some possible solutions. He was a guest on Meet The Leader, a World Economic Forum video podcast.
