AI is sneaking into the workplace and keeping an eye on things.

From American Public Media, this is Marketplace Tech.

I'm Stephanie Hughes.

More companies are incorporating artificial intelligence into their workflows.

There are AI assistants that record and analyze meetings, AI note takers that keep track of what's said,

AI summaries and analysis of email. Workers may know this technology is being used,

but some of these tools which record and monitor can still catch them off guard.

Still, Josh Berson and

HR industry analyst and consultant says the productivity gains from these tools mean many

employers are embracing them. I had him walk me through what he's seeing businesses try,

and what they're using at his company. That includes one HR tool that his company makes

and sells called Galileo.

The meeting recording ones are the simplest. Most people are familiar with them. They're recording a meeting. And then at the end of the meeting or during the meeting, they're showing

you visually data like a summary of what was discussed, who discussed what topic. Microsoft, for example, has a little bunch of bars

that show who talked when, so you can sort of visually look at who's talking and scroll across

to that part of the recording. The tool that we use internally, the Galileo tool that we use

in our company, can not only do all that, but you can ask it questions like, you know,

can you assess the skills of this person in this domain based on the conversation they had?

You can ask it, what did these people talk about? I mean, you can literally ask it any open-ended

question and it'll analyze all of the recorded information it has.

And in addition to this AI analysis of meetings, you guys also use a tool where if a coworker isn't available, people are able to reach out to that person's digital twin.

So you have one, I understand.
