Are AI going to free us?

Will artificial intelligence free us from work?

In recent weeks we have been witnessing what some have already begun to call: “The AI ​​War". 

Although artificial intelligence has been with us for a long time, it has been with the ChatGPT arrives and some generative artificial intelligences such as Dall-e, which has caused a real revolution in the sector.

These artificial intelligence Generative robots are proving capable of writing texts, creating images and even code as well (or almost) as a human being, which is worrying some professionals.

Could workers be replaced by artificial intelligence? What if, instead of “stealing” our work, it liberates us?

Well, to talk about these things we invite you to our podcast, Satoshi's Voices to Rodrigo Taramona, content creator and expert in Artificial Intelligence.

For him, the question we should ask ourselves is: Are we ready for this technology? 

Our guest believes that we have been creating technologies for a long time now that surpass what we are able to conceive and quotes EO Wilson, explaining that “the problem with humanity is that we have Paleolithic emotions, medieval institutions and divine technology.”

For a long time, Technology is beyond what humans are capable of managing, which forces us and the economy to adapt.

In fact, AI opens the door to a whole host of new opportunities. For example, there are already people running courses and workshops on how to give prompts to AI to create images or texts.

The current situation is comparable to the time when Photoshop or digital cameras appeared. Professionals and photography students began to wonder what would happen to them.

In the end, nothing (or almost nothing) happened, they just had to adapt and change the way they worked, implementing these new digital tools in their tasks.

For example, generative AI will be able to Helping digital artists improve their workThe artist will create his work in the same way as he is doing it right now, but will have the possibility of improving the final result through artificial intelligence.

A different case, for Rodrigo Taramona, will be general artificial intelligence or AGI. A type of intelligence more similar to human intelligence that is capable of performing different types of tasks.

In this sense, in the future AI could take on the most dangerous jobs, heavier or more repetitive, freeing up humans to dedicate themselves to other, more creative tasks.

With this release, society should begin to rethinking the economic model and remunerating those jobs that are more human-centered (such as caring for people or education), leaving the rest in the hands of machines.

If these technologies continue to grow and improve at the rate they are doing, in the future governments and society will have to find a way to solve this problem, which will require force a socio-economic change at a global level.
