It has improved efficiency in organizations and reduced monthly costs.
Moreover, the cost savings come from these AI workers.
The hype about AI jobs in the UAE raises excitement.
It also raises anxiety about the future of work.
AI Employees Transforming UAE Jobs
AI employees also known as AI agents, are digital workers powered by advanced artificial intelligence. They can do customer services, sales, debt collection, or operations., more than 50 companies in the UAE have already welcomed freelancing with such AI employees for the above tasks. They can even help communicate in more than 80 languages, putting them in a good position to coexist in the UAE’s diverse business environment.
Nuha Hashem, co-founder of CozmoX, a leading startup based in the UAE says that the new AI employees need less than a day of training on decade-old data. Once trained, it can be used to make an average of 10,000 calls a day. This would normally require a huge lot of human workers.
Alok Kumar, CEO of CozmoX, explained the company’s vision:
“We believe AI agents are going to become the norm in the future. We build AI agents for public and private sector entities and also provide them the infrastructure to create their own AI agents to do all their manual tasks such as sales, operations, customer support etc.”
Impact on Job Loss and Company Savings
Employment by AI employees is making a significant change in UAE jobs. Some hospitals and healthcare clinics in the UAE have more than $30,000 savings by approving AI employees. More than $100,000 per month has been saved at big public sector organizations. These savings arise from reducing manual repetitive work by machines and allocating to employees more important and creative tasks.
One frequent query asks if AI causes unemployment. According to Alok Kumar, the answer is no. He stated:
“Nobody lost jobs and actually, they got productive because of their AI solutions. To be honest with you, a lot of people come to us and say, because of this solution, now we don’t have to actually do the manual work which makes us less productive. Now we are focused on actual work which actually produces an impact.”
Specifically, AI employment does not entail the termination of jobs in CozmoX along with its clients. Human workers are seen providing productivity towards creative and decision-making tasks only.
Global Perspective: Are Jobs at Risk?
While the UAE story on AI employees has been positive, global trends show a mixed outlook.
Moreover, about 40% of back-office jobs may disappear worldwide due to AI, especially in finance, customer service, and manufacturing.
Recently, a survey found roughly 11% of workers lost jobs to AI, while 10% knew someone made redundant.
However, such figures will not apply only to the UAE, which is pursuing reskilling and upskilling initiatives.
AI Employee Revolutionizes how firms manage back-office work, and impacts vary.
The UAE government and Middle Eastern countries are pouring their budgets into education and training on AI for new workers, too, to seize future openings made possible by innovations in AI, programming, robotics, and cybersecurity. Rather, the training is aimed at producing manpower that can live together with AI workers, not just compete against them.
