AI has rapidly transformed the workplace, taking on the repetitive, time-consuming work that once ate into people's days.
But according to Gabriel Hubert, CEO and cofounder of AI company Dust, the workplace is in the middle of being moved on another notch, with a significant shift towards multiplayer AI.Instead of single employees using isolated tools, multiplayer AI involves agents becoming shared and used collaboratively across different departments. These agents learn from a company's data, allowing teams to automate processes and share workflows.
In an interview with Sifted, Hubert unpacks how companies can shift from single-player AI — where value and productivity is created by the individual — to multiplayer AI used collaboratively across teams. The shift to multiplayer AIThe typical way AI has been used in many companies is as follows: an employee opens a chatbot, pastes in the context it needs for a task, sends a prompt, gets an answer back and either uses that information to complete a task or moves onto something else.
While this can increase individual productivity, it has its limitations, according to Hubert. “One person learns a better way to do something, but that improvement doesn’t necessarily spread,” he says. “The individual gets faster, while the company continues to work in roughly the same way.”
