Künstliche Intelligenz: „Wir stürzen in eine Welt, in der nur die Elite arbeitet“

Allison Pugh, a sociologist at Johns-Hopkins University, is one of the world's most respected institutions. She studies the effects of artificial intelligence on society and what she envisions could potentially unravel if AI replaces human interaction. Her thoughts paint a grim picture, with a looming "AI tsunami" heading our way, she asserts.

Yet, amidst this bleak outlook, there are moments of hope. For instance, recently, a conference attendee shared that their child had asked ChatGPT for advice, but also sought counsel from a human because they knew the AI could not simply provide the answer they desired.

Pugh believes that in the future, the significance of human interaction in the economy might actually grow more pronounced. Tech entrepreneurs like Mustafa Suleyman, Microsoft AI's CEO, claim that AI will soon take over most office jobs within a few years. Does a world without work sound appealing?
