TravelPerk, a global business travel management platform, has released new findings on how UK professionals feel about the potential use of AI avatars in the workplace. Despite some reservations, 91% of respondents said they would be open to delegating meeting tasks to an AI avatar 🤖 "There is no question that AI is the future, innovative companies including us use it to automate manual tasks so that customer-facing teams can offer a better human experience. We’ve also harnessed the power of AI to build efficiencies throughout our business operations”, said Avi Meir, CEO and Co-Founder of TravelPerk 👇 Read more below 👇 #StartupsMagazine #Startups #Entrepreneur #AI #AIAvatars

🤔Would you trust AI to represent you at work? 💡According to our latest study, 95% of respondents are open to using AI avatars to handle meeting tasks, but the majority (88%) are concerned about how this technology might impact their careers. Most employees prefer assigning admin-focused tasks—like reminding them of deadlines or scheduling meetings—to AI avatars. This would allow them to focus on more meaningful, human interactions. ✨Interestingly, 42% of people believe that AI avatars could actually encourage more in-person connections, with Gen Z particularly on board (50%). 🗣️“The hype around AI Avatars that it could replace human connection is worrying as I actually think the opposite is true - it should instead increase the need for real life interaction. The challenge is to integrate AI technology in a way that complements, rather than competes with, the human connection” said Avi Meir, CEO and Co-Founder of TravelPerk. 👉Discover our key findings: https://okt.to/MA5rYC.
