Artificial Intelligence is coming and the best thing to do is try to keep up, said a pack of boosters at a recent Perth conference.
“One of the best ways that you can get to see how to use AI,” said WA Data Science Innovation Hub director Alex Jenkins, “… is to treat it like a colleague at work. Give it give some tasks and help it process things,”
Then bottle feed it and watch as it takes your livelihood and the kids go without a home and shoes.
Toby Walsh, the chief scientist of the AI Institute at the University of New South Wales, said the technology will be “very disruptive” to the employment landscape.
“Certain jobs will be transformed, certain jobs will be created, and certain jobs might be destroyed,” Mr Walsh said.
No kidding. It’s predicted AI will kill off about 15 per cent of workforce jobs, especially jobs which are rote or repetitive.
Administrators, accountants and a host of other labour market sectors can kiss their careers goodbye in the next 20 years.
