Madison. whisk. (WKOW) — Millions of jobs could disappear over the next decade as artificial intelligence systems like ChatGPT continue to improve.
“AI is so powerful that it can do certain mundane things that humans don’t necessarily want to do, and it can do things better,” says author and researcher Thomas Fellowes. increase.
Economists at Goldman Sachs put the figure at 300 million, and researchers like Fellows have found that white-collar workers are most at risk of having their jobs replaced by artificial intelligence. there is
“Coding was supposed to be the job of the future,” he says. “So now it basically robs us of future jobs, which is pretty scary.”
Fellows has spent time researching how ChatGPT affects employees and has worked for a company that specializes in AI systems and programs.
Finance, accounting and coding jobs are all fungible jobs, he said. This is because these works focus on convergent thinking for solving math problems and learning languages. But that’s exactly the kind of skill set that AI works so well with right now. Jobs that require more diverse ways of thinking are likely to continue for a long time, he said.
“If you’re just a convergent thinker, if you don’t have strong human judgment, don’t have practical intelligence, and can’t think outside the box, you’re going to be in trouble. would,” he says.
However, ChatGPT is starting to have more actionable intelligence that sets it apart from other forms of AI.
“It’s starting to think like a human,” said Fellowes.
But ChatGPT and other artificial intelligence programs have their advantages and should be used as tools to make work more efficient, he said.
“If you have a productivity tool, why not use it,” he said. “But we have to do a better job of preparing our students for the workforce.”
