During an uncommon
interview conducted by UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, the tech billionaire Elon Musk predicted that if AI is not regulated, there will be a time when no job will be needed. This means that AI tools would take over the entire work of men making paid jobs become reductant. He even claimed that humanoid robots might be a perfect friend for one of his sons who is having difficulty in having friends. I have always believed that regardless of how sophisticated these AI tools become, they will never replace humans. But hearing this prediction for an individual who has a full understanding of the AI sector is frightening. Elon Musk owns an AI company, xAI, that is competing with big AI firms like OpenAI, Google and Anthropic.
These comments can increase the fear and anxiety workers always had that these super-computers will replace them in future. What are your thoughts regarding the statement by Elon, do you think we should take him seriously?
He's true. Not just every work but most of the work would be replaced by AI and AI assisted automation, with quick data transfers through 5g and WiFi 7.
AI are already useful in coding and developing software and websites. AI is changing how the manufacturing works. With automation and AI, our factories and quality checks would be automatic. AI are already replacing receptionist and teller.
Humans would be limited to a small number of jobs and rightfully so as there's an incoming population decline and we need more focus on sustaining a larger population of old age people. AI and automation would help nursing them too.
