Generative Artificial Intelligence platforms such as ChatGPT either midjourney It seems they have put more than one person’s jobs at risk. An uncertain panorama exists, but Bill Gates, Elon Musk and Sam Altman It seems that they have more clarity about what is coming.
In the recent past, the three personalities, whether we like it or not, can be considered as benchmarks for the information technology (IT) industry, have spoken on the subject, sharing very interesting perspectives.
Here today we’re collecting this trio’s thoughts on the future of Artificial Intelligence, the jobs it could take, and the jobs it might survive.
Bill Gates, Sam Altman and Elon Musk: the jobs that will survive Artificial Intelligence
He Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates is clear about the potential of Artificial Intelligence systems to transform education, health and the labor market, generating new opportunities and facing important challenges.
However, the subject considers it vital that from now on young people learn programming and develop digital skills, since they will be crucial elements for the only three areas that will remain safe as a source of employment: Artificial Intelligence, Energy and Biology.
In the end, for Gates, the development and feeding of AI systems will be essential, so even areas not directly related, such as biology, could end up feeding these platforms with information.
For his part, Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI and a key figure in current trends, gives us a less complex picture. Where yes, acquiring digital skills and having an understanding of programming principles will be important but not as vital.
For Altman, the job that will survive the passage of Artificial Intelligence is that of teachers. Where AI systems will be a tool for their work in the training of their students.
The education industry would therefore be the least affected by AI, according to Altman, and teachers will continue to be valuable in the teaching and learning process, since he believes that human interactions will prefer to deal with other human beings.
For his part, Elon Musk, CEO of SpaceX, X (formerly Twitter), owner of Tesla Motors and a long etcetera, has not missed any opportunity presented to talk about the dangers that this type of system would imply for humanity.
Musk has reached the point of becoming fatalistic, at the same time that he has promoted his own Artificial Intelligence project, called xAI. Where he is using Twitter’s own information to feed the system.
Under such dynamics, Elon has not demarcated a specific job that would survive the wave of AI. But his actions are revealing where he still needs humans: in specific areas of manufacturing his electric cars, training his Artificial Intelligence system and building rockets.
