Introduction:
AI, now lionized primarily due to 'Chat GPT', continues to take the world by storm, transforming the way we interact with technology through natural language generation. Even before 'Chat GPT' had burst onto the scene in April 2022, OpenAI's earlier creation, DALL-E 2 — an image generating platform — had already sparked curiosity and excitement. As AI rapidly evolves, it ignites a mix of wonder and concern among people, drawing all eyes to this promising and highly lucrative field — especially for the tech giants. Companies like Google are racing to integrate AI into their ecosystems, vying for dominance in this groundbreaking realm.
At Google I/O 2023, they unveiled their ambitious plans to seamlessly infuse AI into their Pixel devices, revealing the untapped potential of this cutting-edge technology.
Microsoft's bold investment in OpenAI's Chat GPT API, integrated into their browser and search engine, aims to capitalize on Google's market share. Giving Chat Gpt API internet access redefines online interactions and acts as a strategic move to expand 'Bing' search engine's user base. This AI advancement solidifies Microsoft's pioneering position, shaping the tech future.
Certain AI are built for certain tasks. A general-purpose AI like Chat GPT is not very good at harder tasks that lie in a specific structure or realm. For example, Chat GPT could ace the SAT Maths with flying colors, but it could never do top university level pure Maths questions. Trying to use Chat GPT with chess is another hilarious situation where it starts randomly spawning pieces and throwing them into positions they cannot move to. But, due to the rise of increasingly large numbers of people creating different types of specialized AI, Chat GPT can focus on creating popularity via its wide array of uses and the other AI can use influence to become prominent in a variety of fields.
Widely used in games, finance, astronomy, healthcare, transport, agriculture, education, e-commerce, entertainment, robotics, automotive, social media, data security, the world eagerly watches as AI ventures into uncharted territories, leaving us captivated by its transformative power.
Yet, with all the benefits it provides, AI brings many complications with it that people must be aware of as we enter into a new era of technology.
Emerging job opportunities:
As the world embraces the transformative power of Artificial Intelligence (AI), a new era of job opportunities is rapidly emerging. Fields like natural processing engineering, machine learning engineering, and deep learning engineering are some examples of it. Not only that, but many jobs will be revolutionized by having AI automate monotonous, repetitive tasks making them much more efficient and productive. It will also make the market more competitive by assisting the professionals with producing insights relative to their fields, constituting towards a healthier economy. With the increasing integration of AI technologies into various sectors, there is a growing demand for skilled professionals who can harness its potential, as mentioned above. Additionally, AI is creating novel positions, like AI ethicists, responsible for addressing ethical concerns related to AI implementation. As the AI landscape continues to evolve, so do the job prospects, paving the way for a dynamic and a promising future for the global workforce. Embracing AI and acquiring the necessary expertise is becoming crucial for those seeking to thrive in this new job market.
Impact on the Jobs:
However, the likelihood of even more jobs being endangered by the existence of AI can potentially damage the economy as well. After all, most jobs revolve around fairly monotonous, repetitive tasks. A few major examples are
Coding-related jobs like Software engineer, Web developers, Data scientists.
Teachers
Finance Jobs
Graphic Designers
Accountants
In addition to jobs displacement, sectors with increased human interaction being overtaken by the AI will reduce the much needed social interaction, thereby unhinging the social dynamics.
Ethical Issues:
Amidst all the AI-powered development, ethical conundrums have sprung up. From surveillance technologies to autonomous weapons to determining critical policies, AI, based on the data it is trained on, may contain prejudices. The results produced using this data could give rise to discrimination against certain groups, therefore affecting the policies made concerning those groups. Moreover, the extensive amount of data collected with the lack of transparency regarding its usage has raised concerns about privacy and security.
Conclusion:
This may not be the first time that major changes to technology have completely revolutionized industries and people's lifestyles. Mailing was completely outclassed by phone messaging when it came out. This is a major argument every person uses when people panic at such changes. However, without a doubt, the situation is quite a bit more serious this time and could have some serious consequences if people do not prepare for the change. Hence, it needs to be kept in mind, so that proper measures can take place when necessary.
