I have to take issue with the opening paragraph. It says that research shows we spend 3 out of 5 days working on stuff we weren't hired to do. But then it says attending meetings falls under that definition as does gathering information. A lot of people need to meet to gather information. Of course that's part of their jobs. While machine learning can, I am sure, help a lot the fallacy the opening paragraph starts with makes me lose faith in the whole article. They also don't cross reference this 'research'.
