AI job automation is 'inevitable', says tech advisor - BBC News

"There will be winners or losers on a global basis in terms of where the jobs are as a result of AI."

Those are the words of tech entrepreneur and the UK's new artificial intelligence advisor, Ian Hogarth.

There have already been reports of multiple job losses as a result of companies choosing to use AI tools instead of humans, with BT recently saying it will shed 10,000 staff by the end of the decade.

Hogarth also said in an interview with the BBC that expert warnings of AI's potential to become an existential threat should not be dismissed - but he was cautious of not missing the benefits of these technologies.

Can't wait to see AI dentists resolve the current NHS dentist capacity issue.

[SimpelMB]

The rise of AI demonstrates the NEED for a universal basic income. Without an UBI, none of us will have any money since there won't be any jobs.

[guff]

I'm waiting for news readers to be upgraded to AI

[inverse_functor]

One job sector no one is talking about... Government bureaucratic jobs.

[proabhinav]

Still a step ahead for UK government to think forward and atleast having set a team/workforce to review and recommend ..

[kasondaleigh]

Maybe AI could generate accurate headlines for BBC content, apparently it is impossible for human editors to understand what is being discussed.

[patrickcollins]

It doesn’t take a tech advisor to know that

[CamObserver]

Replacement for show hosts, AI can write copy.

[radioguy]

Can we automate the Prime Minister, i'm sure AI coud do a better job.

[countvontoten]

A.I. putting humanity into A.I.mlessness.

[lazarusblackwell]

These "news reporters" will be among the first to go.

[Progressive_Canadian]

Allowing AI to control an entire factory without humans? Sounds like Cyberdyne Systems Corporation to me. 😟

[DeusShaggy]

Thou shalt not create a machine in the likeness of the human mind.

[RayMarsh-zf]

Those poor Indian scammers. Will they be able to save their jobs?

[bewise]

Cant wait for people to be probed by AI like Cartman did in South Park. Then you’ll learn.😂🤣

[chocolateclaire]

Bad data results in bad choices. No data is better than bad data. Caring about reality is a uniquely human. Taking responsibility and fixing problems is what humans are supposed to do. Computers do not care, do not recognize problems, and IT does not take responsibility.

[SpeedUPCommeDhab]

It's kind of a new Google using python

[DeusShaggy]

Every instance of a more advanced group subjugating a lesser group is basically every instance recorded throughout history.

What will Singularity do to us?

Dune has never been more profllic than now.

[davidioanhedges]

Managers should be worried .... their jobs are the most automated already, the simplest to give over to AI without any consequences ..
They rarely interact with customers, so there are less likely to be any issues
Will they - they will argue against it ...

En Chile lamentablemente se oculta informacion de mí hija. El padre no sabe ni siquiera si aún vive
Se nos impide ilegalmente incluso los mínimos derechos que los que cumplen condena en cárcel tienen. Abierta violacion a los derechos del niño. Que son humanos con derechos. No más violaciones a los derechos de los niños, ni a mí niña de 8 años. Pido porfavor si alguien sabe de ella, .me pueda contar. La última informacion fue una salida ilegal de chile otorgada torcidamente por el tribunal de familia de san Miguel.
