OpenAI, a Bay Area startup backed by Microsoft and Silicon Valley VC’s, unveiled a new AI model called chat GPT that aims to be your virtual friend. While this advancement in artificial intelligence is groundbreaking, it has also sparked concerns and protests about the potential impact on jobs.
Protestors gathered outside open AI’s headquarters, demanding more transparency and regulations to ensure the safety and ethical use of AI technology. Many fear that the human-like capabilities of AI could lead to the automation of jobs, putting livelihoods at risk.
Despite these concerns, business and tech reporter Scott Budman believes that new technology like AI often leads to the creation of new job opportunities. As AI continues to evolve, there will be a need for humans to oversee and make ethical decisions about its use.
While the full impact of AI on the job market remains uncertain, it is clear that a balance must be struck between technological advancements and human employment. As we navigate this new era of AI, ethical considerations and regulations will be crucial in shaping the future of work.
