Companies may find ways to effectively “use artificial intelligence themselves on their compliance, obligations to the [Securities and Exchange] Commission and look at unstructured data and look at chat and look at email and look at all these other things that they haven’t been able to do.” This could conceivably allow companies to spot issues earlier or stop them from arising.

“A cubicle-free workplace without private offices is supposed to force employees to collaborate. To have them talk more face-to-face. To get them off instant messenger and spontaneously brainstroming about new ideas.” It’s not happening.
