New Report
has been on every news and radio, today. [Without any policy changes, researchers estimated AI will wipe out 8 million jobs with no economic gains. The Department for Science, Innovation and Technology called the research “hugely speculative,” saying in a statement that AI already contributes more than £3.7 billion to the UK economy every year. 9 hours ago] Life In The Fast Lane. |

I still standby that it needs to be regulated.
And I say that as someone that has fascination with AI technology, but we need to make it possible for people to also be able to make a living, and have active reasons to still socialize with each other.

Well the educated population is decreasing so this is probably for the best. Shame we will have a load of unemployed foreign folk trying to kill us

We need to be raising education standards, not lowering them.

AI has been used in customer service for a few years already. There will always be jobs, just they will be different

e.g. clothes used to be made by individual tailors and seamstresses, and then the sewing machine came along and they were made in factories by rows and rows of people on sewing machines, and then factories were automated and now it's just a handful of machine operators with huge automated machines doing the sewing. Or farming is another example - huge %age of the population once worked in farming, now it's largely automated. What makes this different is that I think AI will eventually come for something that's traditionally been quite safe... and that's complex non-physical, yet non-creative work. Anything that requires creative thinking on the fly is safe for a good while yet. Anything "fiddly" or "tricky" in a physical sense is also safe. But things like solicitors... HR... an awful lot of middle management tasks... AI is coming for those. Essentially the huge difference is that it's coming for middle incomes, not low incomes. If AI really does take off as expected the only viable choice is to heavily tax it and introduce a UBI. |

AI is being used in a lot of applications where we just didn't have capability before. That to me is the biggest threat, because we just have no concept of what it's actually being used for

One thing I think will be fascinating is when it's used essentially as an archiving tool... for quickly sourcing information, or even distilling things that were previously simply not possible. The "Wiki Leaks" files spring to mind. Basically there were something like 10+ million documents... no single person could ever read them all, let alone remember everything meaningful and make connections etc... however, a well-utilised AI could read all of the documents in minutes, and then someone asking it the right questions could have it distil down any linked information on specific topics very, very quickly and accurately. As a tool for knowledge, it's going to be the biggest leap forward since the Internet.
