AI has been developing at an alarming rate in recent years and studies say 300 million people could be unemployed! Do you think it will really take the jobs of many of us soon?😶😶😐 Thoughs?

Will AI take away our jobs?
It will replace some jobs eventually but at the same time it can also create other jobs.
We will need more tech people who can manage these AI systems , understand how they work, how they can be improved , etc. I think it will eventually spawn a whole new class of employment with people.
At the same time I don't think it will lead to the extremes that many people say , such as: ;
1. AI will destroy us since they see us as a threat.
Here we are thing as humans think - in terms of greed , fear , hate , pride , joy , ambition. Almost every human decision is based on an emotional one. Think about it:
Why do people fight?
Why do people steal?
Why are some people racists or xenophobic?
This can be boiled down to emotions. We do the bad and violent things we do because of fear , pride, ambition etc. These are things that all people have, regardless of IQ or background. Even though AI programs are capable of many feats - the question I have is will and AI program be capable of emotions? Will a software program ever have any emotions? Or will it just carry out a series of calculations that it's human controller prompted it to? Even if some AI program becomes sentient this does not mean it will think like a human or even have any emotions what so ever or even fear death ( and what would be death from a sentient AI program's perspective?)
Violence and war are a result of the reptilian brain as Carl Sagan would often say. We , humans , have a level of intelligence that has thus yet to be observed in other animal species. But to get there we had to evolve over the course of millions of years. Underneath our layer of human intellect there is still that old school reptilian brain that is concerned with survival ; food , water , sex , territory, fear or outsiders etc. It was this reptilian brain with it's fear and ambition that has moved us to conquer the planet and start kingdoms and empires. Our actions are controlled and planned out using our intellect but they are motivated by our emotions.
An AI program is nothing but sophisticated code and yes , some may even become sentient some day. Yet I would ask the question: What is a sterile intellect of great capacity yet devoid of any emption?

AI will definitely replace all workers that create value through software in the next 30-40 years at the latest, barring catastrophes. Up until GPT I thought we had more time, but in the forseeable future (5-10 years) we'll see a lot of text + image + audio based jobs (musicians, artists, translators, photographers, editors, teachers, ...) made redundant.
Honestly it will eventually replace us all. That's why it's so important to have systems set up so we are taken care of as it replaces more and more of us
Yes, of course. That's the point. Technology has been taking jobs for years, this is not new. This is a good thing. Humans will receive a universal basic income. And in a few hundred years, there will no longer be a need for money. The top minds understand this. Evolution is not going to stop happening.

My boyfriend works in the coding and developing industry and they recently had a big meeting where they spoke about AI and that it is a high possibility that it will replace them as its cheaper and faster and more accurate than humans. The sad answer is YES it will replace most tech jobs.

Forget our jobs, AI is going to kill us. It's probably going to start a World War and get us to kill each other. It'll turn brother against brother, husband against wife and end humanity unless we get it under strict control.

Technology has been taking away people's jobs for as long as it has existed ^^ some people say in the future only a small part of the population will have brains that can keep up with the technology and they'll have jobs and the rest will just get a basic income from the government every month and that will be it.

Not until they can fix the alignment problem. AI is extremely dumb today, impressive but dumb. Anyone using it as anything else the a tool to increase productivity is a fool right now. So it's no different from the time pre computer, to with computer. You will find that AI will create more and more of the same. So the longer you use it the more mainstream will the result become.

Nope. A lumberjack with an axe evolved into a chainsaw wielding lumberjack and these days the lumberjacks operate industrial machines without having to be very near to the tree to cut it.
There is no threat. AI is not even smart enough to handle incoming phone calls in call centers.
-
Yeah then the government will need to clear the overpopulation
-
Not for me as a software developer AI will enhance my job cuting out a lot of the busy work I hate to do so can focus more on the challging andcintresting parts
-
Society worried about this with the industrial revolution. But that change actually created many new jobs which kept society employed.
-
I've been hearing robots or AI or automation for as long as anyone else my age and all I can say, shrugs and whatever. Merrily ☺️😊
-
They are going to take more than just our jobs
-
Yes, that is the whole point. So that we don't have to work but still recieve an income.
-
hopefully. then we'll just play games and watch AI movies all day long

Not if you choose a career path that can't be replaced
-
I guess so, depends on they type of jobs
-
Good, hate people anyway.
-
Not many of us. No.
