AI is a tool for creating the future, and the initiative is only a human being AI Technology Vol.8 in the era of experience economy.
In the past series, we have introduced the AI utilization projects that are being promoted in a wide variety of industries, and have shown guidelines for promoting the use of AI in a more accurate manner.
AI is thought to be in the midst of the third AI boom, so that, unlike the past AI boom, the boom is over, because the AI is deeply intersecting business and life.It will not disappear from society.In fact, in the financial industry, trading methods using AI are established, and in the medical industry, a demonstration experiment that uses AI to quickly and accurately diagnoses cancer and heart disease is a certain result.In addition, the number of products that are used as a matter of course, such as customer services, text schools, and review systems by AI chatbot, are increasing.
However, no one knows the impact of artificial intelligence on our lives and work in decades.So far, the pessimistic view that AI has more occupations will disappear, but the spread of AI may be more than a job that loses new occupations related to AI.In addition, it is very possible that a completely different commercial flow has been born, and there is a possibility that there is no possibility that can not be predicted at all other than the above.In this contribution, we will consider future AI growth as a summary of the series.
Simple tasks decrease depending on AI
In recent years, "Machine Learning" has become clearly showing the new way of growth in society.AI algorithms are not unusual for AI algorithm to learn based on a huge amount of datasets and produce results beyond human levels regarding the quality of specific tasks.The development of AI, which specializes in the execution of a specific task, so -called "weak AI", has been declining steadily due to the opening of data and development libraries.This suggests that it is inevitable that human resources needs to do simple tasks with AI progress will decrease steadily.
However, reducing simple tasks does not necessarily lead to a job.In my prospect, many jobs continue to survive, while the job required for existing jobs is becoming more sophisticated.
For example, chef, a cook, is one of the occupations that AI is concerned about alternatives.If the cooking process is manual as a family restaurant or a major restaurant chain store, it can be said to be a profession that is likely to be replaced by AI.However, dishes that require a menu to be created at the store and the complex cooking process will be difficult to support all work by introducing AI, so people will continue to play.In addition, as AI's dishes become widespread, looking at the food itself is a experience that brings the value to customers, and the value of high skilled chefs may not change.You can even think.In other words, with the advancement of AI, human resources with high professionals and competitiveness will be exposed to bigger the spotlight.
Even now, as cars have become widespread, the size of the occupation will be reduced, but the size of the occupation will be reduced, as the carrier of a rickshaw running in the city of Tokyo continues to be required in the tourism industry.On the other hand, the decrease in the working population, especially in developed countries, is also looking for technology to solve this problem.If AI reduces simple and repeat work, you can reduce the absolute amount of work that people have been responding to.I think this may be one of the solutions to social issues, such as a balance between human resources and supply and demand and supply, and decreases the working population.The idea of replacing the work to AI and machines is not just a matter of technical aspects, but there are several issues that must be overcome, but the impact of AI on our society is better or worse.It will go.
The world of science fiction is not an impossible story
Another possible scenario in the future is the future where "general AI", which is active in a wide range of fields, the ultimate goal of AI research.The realization of a general -purpose AI is overturned every time a boom occurs.The expectations for the realization of a general -purpose AI in the AI boom are as large as comparable to the past.Some scientists have said with expectations, whether they will be realized in 30 years, but this is not an impossible story.When a general -purpose AI is realized, that is, when it reaches singularity, people may even be released from labor itself.
At that moment, the world will go around on a completely different axis from the previous economy.When people are free from work to make money, they may probably change the evaluation of people depending on the degree of self -realization.That self -realization may be the top of sports, or you may be immersed in art.Or it is no wonder that research to create something new and show the way to live freely.
This future does not happen right now.However, it is not too early to think about how to show your individual to society.Just as celebrities such as Ilon Musk and Bill Gates are worried, it is not the possibility that AI will reach the destruction of AI as the AI reaches the destruction.
The current AI aims to learn specified data based on the program and guide the specified tasks.However, if a general -purpose AI is realized, it is possible that AI will set the purpose and generate a new program to evolve in unable to control people.If you fall into this, the world will look like a science fiction movie.
