Thanks for your insightful reflections, which I had the pleasure of listening to while having breakfast. It’s indeed a fascinating subject and information overload is something I fall victim of very often, to the point of not even bothering opening let even reading the various emails that I receive (too much!!!!!).
There’s one topic that I have not seen tackled much, but one that will matter to us all, and our children, it is the social implications of AI - the hard repercussions on societies and all the “métiers” that it will replace. This is in my opinion a major concern. Copywriters, photographers, stylists, musician and composers, the various movie industry trades such as sound engineers or dubbing. I was for a while working with a freelancer in Kenya who was transcribing videos for us. That’s gone. She was feeding her family with this work. What is she going to do, since I will now feed the video into Synthesia and use the output for the automatic insertion of subtitles? I will then use the .srt file and translate it, ask a medical reviewer to check the translation and then my subtitles will be available in any language (or I’ll feed to to a Synthesia human avatar and get rid of actors while I’m at it).
The implications on society are outside the realm of our imagination and at that pace, AI is going to run over everyone. The future is not pretty if no safeguards are in place, such as UBI.
Hi Boris, thanks for taking the time to share your insights and views on this critical topic, of "AI for Good" and nevertheless the disruptive and potentially brutal and harmful implications it can have on our lives and society as a whole. For sure, the whole industry copywriting and content processing, would that be textual or audiovisual, is in the eye of the storm. And although one can always candidly advise that jobs are going to be shifted either left or right of the food chain, in reality this is not going to be that straight forward for the less adaptable among us. It is easy to say that this is lifting the floor of creativity and productivity for most of us, but at the same time it is pulling the rug under other people's feet. I have not yet given enough research time and thoughts to the revived idea of Universal Basic Income, but it is for sure front and centre, especially if we are on the other hand giving any credit to the claim all this tech disruption will soon usher in an age of so-called "abundance" ... the question is abundance of what ;-) I am looking forward to a healthy debate, with you and others, on this existential topic 👍🏻
