Elon Musk has bad news. At least for those of us who like our job. Artificial intelligence will deprive everyone of gainful employment.
Elon Musk believes that AI will put us out of work
Elon Musk said at the ivaTech 2024 conference in Paris that “probably none of us will have a job.” However, the point is not that we are facing a great economic crisis. No, new technologies will make us unable to work.
If you want to do work that is a bit like a hobby, you can do it, but it will be artificial intelligence and robots that will provide all the goods and services you want
– he said.
When will it happen? On another occasion, Musk warned that AI would surpass human intelligence by 2029.
This sounds like a workaholic's nightmare.
If computers and robots can do everything better than you, does your life have meaning?
– He was asking.
Prof. Hinton also warns
Professor Geoffrey Hinton, called the “godfather of AI”, also believes that robots powered by artificial intelligence will start taking people's jobs. He added that an economic model will be created in which we will be dependent on governments that will pay us a guaranteed income. Despite this, the development of new technology will further strengthen the richest and deepen social inequalities.
It's possible. This would mean that we only have a few years left to build wealth, which we will then multiply on the stock exchange or in other ways. Earning a lot of money by working will be much harder than today.
However, in order not to end this Saturday's text in such an extremely pessimistic way, let us add that scientists from the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab recently reported that AI is taking our jobs, but at a much slower pace than previously expected. They added that many activities still require human emotions or empathy, which AI will not provide. It is possible that in the coming years the best earners will be those who can cooperate with machines and artificial intelligence. They will be able to offer greater efficiency on the market, and thus they will earn more.
