. Job van der Voort's Remote is an HR-tech company that helps businesses manage their payroll, employee benefits, compliance, and taxes on a global scale. Last year the platform was estimated at a worth of over $3 billion. Recently, van der Voort has implemented AI to the platform in order to empower workers with "superpowers". AI is used to search data and give employees information they may not have been able to access manually. This can also help to make sure the information shared is accurate. Amazon has raised concern over AI writing emails, but van der Voort believes it could revolutionize customer service. AI has potential to disrupt millions of jobs worldwide, but van der Voort believes it will instead be used to redeploy the workforce. With AI, jobs across industries can become more efficient and could even answer emails within the next year or two.
