칼럼 | 생성형 AI의 기대효과, 조직 현실에서는 확장되기 어렵다

CIO Business Intelligence

생성형 AI에 대해 필자가 새롭게 쓸 수 있는 내용은 거의 없다. 적어도 이 주제를 다룬 최근 논평 중에는 명백히 새롭고 중요한 내용은 없다. 오히려 그런 논평을 비평하는 것이 훨씬 더 유익할 수 있다. 예를 들어보자면, AI 도입과 관련해 자주 회자되는 표현이 하나 있다. 바로 AI가 반복적이고 단조로운 업무를 자동화함으로써 사람이 더 흥미로운 일에 집중할 수 있도록 해줄 것이라는 주장이다. 어쩌면 그렇게 될 수도 있다. 그러나 ‘예벗 박사(Dr. Yeahbut)’는 이런 기대효과를 과연 조직 전반에 걸쳐 실현 가능한지 의문을 제기한다. 다시 말해 AI가 직원들을 단순 업무에서 해방시켰을 때, 기업의 핵심 의사결정권자들이 과연 그들이 맡게 될 ‘더 흥미로운 일’에 비용을 지불할 의지가 있는지를 따져봐야 한다는 것이다.
