How AI is affecting this role
- ›Using OCR tools to instantly extract line items from 50 different electricity bills across India, catching billing errors in seconds.
- ›A Computer Vision system monitoring CCTV feeds to automatically flag spills or unauthorized entry in real-time.
- ›Generating a 50-page Request for Proposal (RFP) for a new security vendor in 5 minutes using ChatGPT, tailored to specific Indian labor laws.
- ›Analyzing historical AC temperature data to predict chiller failure before the summer peak hits.
Ways to survive
- ›Focus on physical site inspections and quality assurance, as AI cannot verify if a floor is actually mopped.
- ›Use AI-generated reports to identify cost leaks, ensuring vendors are strictly adhering to signed SLAs.
Ways to get ahead with AI
- ›Build a custom 'Employee Experience Bot' integrated into Slack/Teams that answers queries like 'Which meeting room is free?' instantly.
