AI Dangers, IBM Job Replacements, and Fake News Content Farms
In this podcast, we discuss the recent developments and concerns surrounding artificial intelligence (AI). Renowned computer scientist, Geoffrey Hinton, has resigned from Google to speak freely about the potential dangers of AI. He expressed his regrets about his life's work and worries that AI could be used for malicious purposes, eliminate jobs, and pose a threat to humanity. IBM is set to pause hiring and replace approximately 7,800 jobs with AI, with 30% of non-customer-facing roles expected to be replaced within five years. Additionally, a report by NewsGuard has uncovered that AI chatbots, including Google's Bard and OpenAI's ChatGPT, have been used to create dozens of news content farms, generating falsehoods and posing a challenge for companies like Google and OpenAI to train their models not to fabricate news. Tune in for more insights on the impact of AI.
