AI already takes human jobs, But the CEO of Google Deepmind says that the disturbance will lead to the creation of new “very precious” roles.
Speaking to Sxsw London on Monday, Demis Hassabis said that he expects the AI to be a more important transformation than the industrial revolution, but it is optimistic because humans are “infinitely adaptable”.
“I think that new jobs will appear, new very precious jobs,” he said, adding that AI in the next five to 10 years “will overeat the technically informed people who are at the forefront of the use of these technologies”.
Hassabis said that today’s children would grow “AI native” as the previous generation did with the Internet. However, when it comes to choosing what to study, Hassabis said that he would always recommend studying STEM subjects.
He said it is “always important to understand the fundamentals” in fields such as mathematics, physics and computer science to understand “how these systems are assembled”.
Speaking during the Google IS developer conference Last week, the co -founder of Hassabis and Google, Sergey Brin, predicted AG – the moment when the AI reaches or exceeds human intelligence – will arrive around 2030.
But the AI already quickly transforms the labor market. Some companies make up hiring For roles that can be made with AI, and companies such as Meta, Microsoft and Google are more and more Use of technology to write code.
While Hassabis said he would still study STEM subjects, he recommended people to gain experience using AI tools.
“I will also experience all the latest AI systems and tools and see what is the best way to use them and use them in a useful and new way, so I would adopt it and hack with these tools,” he said.
