Gary Vaynerchuk compares the rise of AI like ChatGPT to the way the internet revolutionized work: 'AI is coming for our jobs and that's ok'

Entrepreneur and internet personality Gary Vaynerchuk is optimistic that workers will survive the rise of AI, although some experts are more ambivalent. Gary Vaynerchuk predicts that AI software like ChatGPT will eliminate many jobs.

He’s optimistic about workers’ ability to rally and adapt to AI, or create new roles.

That’s been true to an extent about previous types of automation, but AI looks likely to impact a broader demographic of workers. Top editors give you the stories you want — delivered right to your inbox each weekday. Something is loading. Thanks for signing up!Access your favorite […]

China’s Robots Can’t Do It All. They Need People

Like most industrialized countries these days, China is contending with a shortage of skilled workers. A declining labor force and an urgent need to boost productivity has prompted Beijing to put forward a solution: install more industrial robots on factory floors. That, though, won’t cut it.

In a bid to spruce up production lines that can churn out higher-value goods, China’s Ministry of Industry and Information released the Robotics-plus Application plan last month. It had a clear target: double the industrial sector’s robot density by 2025, from 246 per 10,000 workers in 2020. The blueprint recommends widening the use of […]

Imperative to rein in AI and make it function like a good workhorse

Imperative to rein in AI and make it function like a good workhorse

For reprentational purpose At a recent literary festival in Delhi, one of the members of the audience asked a question that sent shivers down my spine. I put on a brave face and answered it nonchalantly. My fellow panellists also gave answers similar to mine, but the question lingered in our minds and was a hot topic of discussion among all the participants.

The question was: Are you afraid AI-powered ChatGPT or Bard will replace writers soon? I replied, as of now, I don’t think any AI is powerful enough to replace me in storytelling.

Then my co-panellist, the senior editor […]

Mysteries of the Labor Force

Mysteries of the Labor Force

One of the enduring mysteries of contemporary society centers on the seeming disassociation of so much of the labor force from the economy. This became particularly evident during the pandemic, when checks arrived regularly to people who used to work. And even this year, several states, including California, have sent payments to cover inflationary pressures.

Yet even as some employers raise wages and job counts have surged , many workers are still staying on the sidelines. One problem is that inflation has risen faster than incomes, obviating the higher pay. This is occurring when, despite well publicized layoffs in tech […]

The human edge in the age of AI

The human edge in the age of AI

It’s a question that comes up more and more: Will the tasks that humans perform be replaced by AI or robots?

By Zuko Mdwaba, area vice-president and country leader of Salesforce South Africa

We know that AI will have a significant impact on the global job market, though the extent to which remains in flux.Interestingly, surveys show that most of us think that these disruptive technologies are primarily going to affect someone else – someone with a skill set or an educational background that lends itself to repeatable work.This is a risky assumption on everyone’s part and certainly not something that […]

A threatening race

A threatening race

Powerful tech companies are investing in artificial intelligence in a manner destructive to society, rather than utilising it to complement existing human capabilities

“Artificial intelligence and automation are transforming many industries and changing the nature of work. However, the idea that AI is ‘killing’ human jobs is a complex issue with many factors to consider. It’s also possible that AI could exacerbate existing social and economic inequalities. In some cases, AI and automation can replace human labour, leading to job losses and reduced demand for certain skills” — this is what came on the board of ChatGPT when this […]

Experts decode the jobs, roles that ChatGPT may make a meal of

Experts decode the jobs, roles that ChatGPT may make a meal of

Experts suggest that professionals remain abreast of industry trends and developments in the talent market. The fear of artificial intelligence, or AI, replacing human workers has been rekindled with the advent of ChatGPT. In January, the highly advanced AI language model “passed” a university-level exam after a former student made it write an essay on social policy and sent it for grading to a professor at a Russell Group university.

Yet, experts say the ChatGPT technology is still evolving and it would take another seven-10 years for it to impact the employment market for next-level roles.

“ChatGPT has the potential to […]

By R Jagannathan

The only real solution to the jobs crisis, whether in India or abroad, is to direct tech innovation towards job enhancing sectors, and disincentivising job-replacing ones, observes R Jagannathan. One of the stated goals of India’s G20 presidency is to foreground ‘its belief in a human-centric approach to technology, and facilitate greater knowledge-sharing in priority areas like digital public infrastructure, financial inclusion, and tech-enabled development in sectors ranging from agriculture to education.’This is laudable, but the big elephant in the room that remains unacknowledged is the negative […]
