April 9, 2023

Based on the analysis of data on professional tasks in Europe and the United States, experts came to the conclusion that AI could put 300 million people out of work around the world. If AI achieves the abilities promised by the developers, then the number of jobs will be significantly reduced. Office workers are a group that could be especially vulnerable to these AI marvels. Lawyers and administrative workers have become especially attractive targets for AI. In this regard, the heads of tech companies, engineers and researchers asked to suspend "large-scale AI experiments" - they threaten society. We are talking about an open letter published on Future of Life, which has collected over a thousand signatures. Among the signatories are the director of SpaceX, Tesla and Twitter Elon Musk and the co-founders of Apple, Skype, Pinterest, Ripple - that is, Steve Wozniak, Jaan Tallinn, Evan Sharp and Chris Larsen
