A new report from the London School of Economics (LSE) and Jabra predicts that keyboards will gradually disappear from workplaces in the coming years, with AI-powered voice commands becoming the primary means of interacting with devices by 2028.
The report indicates that Generation Alpha, born after 2010, will no longer consider writing a major part of their daily workflow. Instead, they will speak directly to their devices to generate text, which they will then edit later.
Paul Sefton, head of communications at Jabra, said: "In an AI-driven work environment, the first draft of any task will be spoken, not written. Writing will become merely an editing phase, not a creative one."
The report suggests that this shift reflects the natural way humans think, based on conversation and rapid interaction, thus opening the door to greater instant and spontaneous creativity, according to a report published by Gizmochina and reviewed by Al Arabiya Business.
Voice commands also offer a great advantage to workers who need to use their hands while working, such as parents or those who multitask.
