Geoffrey Hinton, known as the Godfather of AI, discussed the potential for AI to displace jobs, particularly in white-collar fields. He warned that jobs involving mundane intellectual tasks, like those of paralegals, are at high risk as AI could handle the workload of many workers simultaneously. While Hinton acknowledged that white-collar jobs face immediate threats, he emphasized that blue-collar positions would be safer for longer. He also expressed skepticism about the idea that AI will create new jobs, suggesting that skilled positions will become essential to avoid automation.
Hinton stated, "I think for mundane intellectual labor, AI is just going to replace everybody," highlighting the risk of job loss in white-collar sectors.
He warned that, "if AI automated intellectual tasks, there would be few jobs left for people to do," emphasizing concerns over mass unemployment.
Hinton noted, "I'd say it's going to be a long time before it [AI] is as good at physical manipulation," suggesting blue-collar jobs may remain safer longer.
He mentioned, "You'd have to be very skilled to have a job that it [AI] just couldn't do," pointing to the necessity of advanced skills in the future workforce.
