Magic wand or curse? How artificial intelligence is changing the work of the future

Jobs done by the people It will now be set to Machines Which imitate human behavior will complete them in a faster time increase productivity And Enter.

Others argue that it is a curse that will drive thousands of people into unemployment, while giving machines the tools to destroy the world, reminiscent of the movies… Terminator.

the warning Earns special value as one of the top CEOs in the field of artificial intelligence Sounds the alarm about the world’s demise He is the CEO of Open AIAnd Sam Altman In his final appearance in Congress.

The effects at work are already experienced by workers mainly in America, the home of technology.

According to a statistic for the first time in May 4,000 individual They almost lost their jobs to AI, according to its report Challenger, Gray and Christmas.

“we think that Amnesty International Andy Challenger, vice president of Challenger, Gray and Christmas, was quoted by Fortune as saying more job losses, though we were surprised at how quickly that happened.

“It’s amazing how quickly it has grown and developed technologyhe adds.

The truth is, so far, AI capabilities are scary.

With the help of artificial intelligence, a children’s book was written, students were helped with homework, non-existent images were created, non-existent interviews were given, the list is Endless.

the Google Find out that in theory it can Rent a machine To write code, while Amazon That he can answer questions about customer service, that he can write training manuals and answer questions about company strategy.

This is not to say that AI does not make mistakes, resulting in false information or incorrect answers even to very simple questions.

That’s why experts warn against it strict need legislation And control mechanisms so that there is no misuse of technology in an era of advanced automation.

Much ink has spilled over whether artificial intelligence will do this helps To increase productivity, reduce employee workload or simply create space to create new tasks that employees will have to perform.

Concerned about the changes that will occur in the global labor market is also International Monetary Fund.

the Gita Gopinath Its senior executive director finance He warns of great dangers from artificial intelligence. He cites as an example how economists have been refuted when they say that people who have lost their jobs due to automation can be absorbed by other industries by a lot. higher profits.

The answer itself is to create one network protection Don’t governments reward workers and companies for their decision to replace people with machines. Rather, he argues, the changes brought about by AI will be the same or even greater than the changes brought about by the Industrial Revolution Adam Smith.

One thing is for sure: though, it’s too early to fully capture the effects of its use artificial intelligence In people’s daily lives, any changes must be made with rules that will be determined at the global level and also at the state level and not anarchy.
