As
generative
AI
continues
to
evolve,
we
keep
learning
about
more
ways
in
which
this
technology
will
change
our
lives
and
workplaces.
This
week,
Gartner
unveiled
its
top
10
strategic
predictions
on
the
impact
of
AI
(gavel

Gartner’s
predictions
include
some
expected
fallout
(e.g.,
job
loss)
as
well
as
more
surprising
scenarios,
such
as
employee
mood
monitoring,
royalty
clauses
for
use
of
avatars,
and
compulsory
digital
detox
programs.
Here

four
of
Gartner’s
top
10
predictions
for
2025
and
beyond:
-

will
use

to
eliminate
more
than
half
of
middle
management
positions
and
flatten
their
organizational
structure. -
40%
of
large
enterprises
will
deploy
AI
to
perform
sentiment
analysis
on

and
communications
to
ensure
that
employees
are
exhibiting
the
appropriate
level
of
motivation
and
engagement. -
70%
of
employment
contracts

licensing
and

use
clauses
for
digital
representations
of

personas. -
70%
of
organizations
will
introduce
mandatory
digital
detox
policies,
such
as

Fridays,

to
combat

addiction
and
social
