The discussion about artificial intelligence in businesses has been dominated by the question of replacing human work with machines. The central question has been how much human work can be replaced by AI. However, the article argues that this perspective is becoming outdated.
As AI agents evolve, they cease to be merely tools that answer questions and begin to autonomously execute tasks. These agents can make decisions, consult systems, and trigger processes without constant human intervention.
AI agents are also beginning to work in chain with other agents, creating automated and complex workflows. This capability fundamentally changes the nature of the work that machines can perform within organizations.
Given this evolution, the most important question is no longer replacement but rather another one: how much does it really cost to let a machine work continuously? The article suggests that this is the real debate that businesses now need to face.
