🚨 Tech Leaders Call For a Pause on AI

Elon Musk and a group of artificial intelligence experts, including researchers from Google DeepMind, called for a six-month pause in developing AI systems more powerful than GPT-4.

Gary Marcus, the author of Rebooting AI, first posted this viral tweet containing the letter they proposed, citing the potential risks of AI to society. The concerns were raised from the shocking capabilities of GPT-4:

• Engaging users in human-like conversations

• Composing songs

• Summarizing lengthy documents

• This list of 20 incredible things already developed using GPT-4

The letter emphasizes powerful AI systems should only be developed once ensured that their effects will be positive and risks are manageable.

However, the letter has since received heavy backlash, as there seems to be no verification in signing it. Yann LeCun from Meta denied signing the letter and completely disagreed with the premise.

🙊 Shocking Goldman Sachs Research

Goldman Sachs just dropped a BIG piece of research- stating that as many as 300 million jobs could be affected by AI.

Here's the rundown:

• AI could eventually increase annual global GDP by 7% over 10 years

• 7% of workers will lose their jobs entirely in 10 years if generative AI reaches half of the employers

• AI could automate 18% of the global workforce

• AI can substitute 46% of administrative jobs and 44% of legal jobs

According to GS: “AI’s productivity boost may be twofold: employees will spend their time doing more valuable work, and those that are displaced will eventually be re-employed.”

Our advice: Embrace and harness the power of AI. Maintain a curious and open-minded attitude, and be prepared to continuously acquire new skills as AI and technology transforms the employment environment.
