MIT is among an emerging field of researchers focused on designing collaborative robots, cobots, to work along their human teammates, doing a variety of physical and mental tasks freeing people up for the more adept and creative sides of work. They're working now on robots that can literally read the minds of their human teammates.
It doesn't take a wild imagination to consider the implications of work teams composed of people and robots. If we think keeping teams aligned now is a trick, it will become a challenge only nimble teams will be ready for. It's uncertain when this new world will arrive in each profession and industry. Becoming more nimble teams has obvious payoffs in the present, with velocity and alignment, and more to come.
As AI becomes more the norm in work, gaining new skills and habits will be paramount to career mobility and work success. The need for teams to discover how to grow together in a culture of trust and agility will only increase. The future is here.
