The number of jobs in the world can be reduced by tens or even hundreds of thousands due to the development of artificial intelligence (AI). Such an opinion in an interview with Rossiyskaya Gazeta expression financial expert, author of the Economism Telegram channel Alexey Krichevsky.
According to him, 4,000 jobs (Goldman Sachs estimate) are just the beginning of the trend. Krichevsky cited data from analysts that allowed jobs to decrease by up to 25% over the next five to ten years. First of all, he explained that neural networks will replace young people in IT as they learn to code. The expert added that designers and artists could also be laid off as the robots perfectly create the unique images they need on demand.
“Moreover, many American giants from various industries – IBM, Intel, Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, AMD, Bank of America, Walmart, Amazon, Google – openly say they are suspending the hiring of employees who can be replaced by AI. This is the loss of dozens if not hundreds of thousands of jobs,” he said.
Alexander Vedyakhin, First Deputy Head of Sberbank in July reportedKandinsky 2.1 neural network developed by Sber that users generate more than 70 million unique images in three months. The most popular queries include “Russia”, “love”, “anime”, “cat” and “space”.
