Get ready for the whisper-filled office of the future - TechCrunch
How will work setups change if we spend more and more time talking to our computers? A recent feature in the Wall Street Journal looks at the rising popularity of dictation apps like Wispr, especially now that they can be connected to vibe coding tools, and what that might mean for office etiquette. One VC said that visiting startup offices now feels like stepping into a high-end call center. And Gusto co-founder Edward Kim is apparently telling his team that in the future, offices will sound “more like a sales floor.” (As someone still scarred from the time his desk was briefly relocated to a sales floor, let me say: Oh no.) Kim claimed that he only types now when he absolutely has to. But he admitted that constantly dictating in the office can be “just a little awkward.” Similarly, AI entrepreneur Mollie Amkraut Mueller said her husband became annoyed with her new habit of whispering to her computer, so their late-night work sessions now involve sitting apart, or “one of us will stay in our office.” But Wispr founder Tanay Kothari insisted that this will all seem “normal” one day, just as it’s become normal to spend hours staring at your phone.
The office of 2050 will be very different to today - IT-Online
Neural implants, which link the human brain directly to external devices, are among the top emerging technology global workers expect to see in the workplace by 2050, according to new research by IWG. The study, “IWG’s Work Reimagined: The Office of 2050”, summarises findings from global HR leaders and employees. It highlights how rapidly advancing technologies are set to transform the workplace over the next 25 years. Both HR leaders and employees believe workplace technology will be unrecognisable by 2050 (68% and 72% respectively), as innovations such as neurotechnology – already developed by companies including Synchron and Elon Musk’s Neuralink – move closer to real-world application. Intelligent systems are also expected to automate complex workflows, personalise environments and dramatically accelerate decision-making. AI and immersive tech will reshape the way we work Artificial intelligence (AI) will continue to transform the workplace. Both HR leaders and employees believe AI and automation will reshape most office-based roles (71% and 73%). Around two-thirds think AI will determine the optimal location and timing for collaboration (64% of employees, rising to 69% of leaders). AI-enhanced training is accelerating learning – whether in the classroom, at university or on the job – allowing young people to move up the learning curve far faster than previous generations. AI is part of an exponential curve, creating efficiencies that free people to do what humans do best: thinking creatively, solve problems, and generate new ideas. As a result, the pace of business is set to accelerate, with employees and HR leaders predicting that the speed of work will increase significantly in the coming decades (74% and 70% respectively). Long commutes and the traditional 9-to-5 predicted to disappear The research also highlights that working patterns will continue to undergo major change over the next 25 years. Nearly seven in 10 HR leaders and employees believe long daily commutes and the traditional 9-to-5 workday will no longer exist by 2050 (69% and 68%). Instead, work will increasingly take place across a network of locations rather than a single central office. Almost seven in 10 HR leaders (70%) say work will happen across multiple locations, rising to three-quarters (75%) of employees. Sixty-four percent of employees expect hybrid working to become the standard model – rising to 78% of HR leaders. Both employees and HR leaders agree that strict return...
