It is evident that A.I. can do quite a lot — mimicking Shakespeare, debugging code; sending emails, reading emails — though it’s not at all clear how far it will go, or what consequences that will bring. When it comes to administrative work, A.I. has already arrived. On Gmail, writers no longer have to compose their own responses, because auto reply generates choices like “yes, that works for me.” A.I. is even promising to take over personal logistics: The A.I. startup Duckbill uses a combination of A.I. and human assistants to knock out rote to-do-list items entirely, from returning purchases to buying a child’s birthday present. It’s nearly impossible to imagine what the labor market will look like as A.I. improves and transforms our workplaces and our economy. But many workers booted from their meaningless jobs by A.I. could find new roles, ones that emerge through the process of automation. It’s an old story: Technology has offset job losses with job creation throughout history. Horse drawn carriages were replaced by cars, which created jobs not just on auto assembly lines but also in car sales and gas stations. Personal computing eliminated some 3.5 million jobs, and then created an enormous industry and spurred many others, none of which could have been fathomed a century ago. #ai #futureofwork #career https://lnkd.in/gMxGynvr
