Task automation: what is the difference between humans and AI?

Reflection on the limits of AI and the essential role of humans

Artificial intelligence is revolutionizing the way we work. More and more companies are adopting task automation solutions, gaining in efficiency and speed. But how far can AI go? Can it really replace humans, or should it rather be a strategic ally?

At Vesuv, we have integrated an AI functionality that automatically generates procedures from a simple title. But while AI allows for time savings and effective structuring, the role of humans remains irreplaceable. Let's explore together where the boundary lies between automation and human intervention, and how to combine the two to maximize performance.

1- AI vs human: who does what in task automation?

AI excels at certain tasks, but humans are indispensable for others. Here’s a comparison of the strengths and limits of each:

At Vesuv, AI creates a solid foundation for procedures, but it is up to humans to refine and adapt the processes to the realities on the ground.

2- AI improves productivity, but humans maintain control

AI can automate and speed up tasks, but it cannot take into account context, subtleties, or human values.

Concrete example: generating procedures with Vesuv's AI
With our AI, you simply need to provide a title, and a first version of a procedure is generated in a few seconds.

• What AI does: It automatically structures the procedure into different steps, relying on existing best practices.

• What humans do: They personalize, adjust, and ensure that the procedure meets the real needs of the company.

🚀 Result: a perfect balance between automation and human intelligence to save time while ensuring the relevance of the documents.

3- What are the limits of AI in task automation?

While AI provides valuable assistance, it also has weaknesses:

• Lack of human judgment: AI analyzes, but it does not understand emotions or nuances.

• Dependence on existing data: It cannot innovate or think outside of learned models.

• Reliability issues: If AI relies on incorrect information, it can produce incorrect results.

• Lack of adaptability to complex cases: AI follows a defined framework, but humans know how to improvise in the face of unforeseen events.

👉 That’s why, at Vesuv, we believe that AI should not replace humans, but rather be an intelligent assistant that optimizes their work.

4- AI and humans: how to effectively combine them for efficient automation?

Best practices for integrating AI without losing human value:

✅ Automate repetitive tasks to free up time for teams.
✅ Allow humans to supervise and validate AI actions.
✅ Use AI as a decision-support tool, not as an autonomous solution.
✅ Train teams to work with AI to better understand its strengths and limits.

With Vesuv, AI helps you structure your procedures in one click, but you have the final say!

Conclusion: AI is an ally, not a replacement

Task automation through AI presents a tremendous opportunity for businesses, but it should not replace human expertise. The key to success? Intelligent collaboration between AI and humans.
