It has spent almost a quarter of a century since Steven Spielberg premiered in the movie theaters his film about the humanization of the machines. In “Artificial Intelligence” (2001), a future was raised in which robots could imitate, and even replace, deeply human aspects. Without reaching that fictional end, at present, the rise of these technological systems begins to generate real concerns both personal and work.
As algorithms advance in precision and autonomy, whole sectors face an accelerated transformation: from the automation of administrative tasks to the replacement of technical and creative jobs. Although the AI promises efficiency and cost reduction, it also raises urgent challenges in terms of unemployment, professional reconversion and inequality, making it clear that its integration into the labor market is not exempt from risks. Today, more and more citizens are concerned with the future of these machines and, above all, of their future performance in the professions they occupy today.
In this sense, Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, presented his opinions about technological future and how these systems will affect the short term. In an interview granted to the Anglo -Saxon environment, the Executive Director talks about the need to deal with AI as a tool leaving aside the benevolent conception that many powers are promoting in order that the discourse cale in society. The possibility of the technological occupation of machines in most jobs is increasingly likely. In this context, it reports that the population is not aware with respect to this problem and many dismiss it, but the contingency survives.
The future of artificial intelligence in the labor sector
Amodei, when presenting its latest generation of Claude models for the application in the company, sentenced the need to speak on the AI. These two systems have an instantaneous response mechanism and a more widespread thinking capacity with the application of deeper reasoning. These features denote an increasingly human course that could lead to the replacement of labor in various activities. In this context, the director’s answer was clear and concise: “Artificial intelligence could lead to a 20% unemployment rate in five years“
At the same time, the most affected works could be Those related to the management and administration of procedures, in addition to technological positions that would be considerably reduced thanks to efficiency. This kind of trades are usually occupied by young people, so, their entry into the labor market would be delayed by the impediments of the road.
Mo gawdat regarding the intellect of man and AI
Gawdat, former director of Google X, is a complete student of these systems and their sentence has generated great bewilderment, due to the severity that the materialization of it could mean. In this context, the protagonist indicates a future where humans and machines alike live together, where the first must use its powers to continue controlling the second. “In 2049, probably during our lives and without a doubt during the next generation, It is expected that AI is one billion times smarter (in everything) than the human being Smart, ”he explains in one of the most representative passages of his writing.
There are several disseminators who point out the high capacities of technology on the occasion of the opportunity they suppose, but, at the same time, the great risk they embody. “Machines will have intelligence to design solutions that favor the conservation of our planet, but Will they have the values to also preserve us when they perceive us as the problem?”, He asked in a reflexive way about this dark face that awaits the uncertainty of computer scientists.
