Elon Musk is known for his belief in artificial intelligence. Last month he shared his thoughts that he thought “artificial intelligence will be smarter than humans this year or next,” and this week at a technology conference he said that “artificial intelligence will take everyone’s jobs.”
Elon Musk is pessimistic. “Nobody Will Work”
– Probably none of us will have a job – said Elon Musk, envisioning a future in which work as we know it will be optional (quote from ). – If you want to do hobby-like work, you can do it. But otherwise, AI and robots will deliver any goods and services. Then there would be no shortage of them, he said. He stipulated, however, that in this world there would have to be “universal high income.”
According to Elon Musk, in such a reality people could feel unfulfilled and therefore unhappy. – The question will actually be about meaning – if computers and robots can do everything better than you, does your life have meaning? – he asked rhetorically.
Artificial intelligence is not replacing employees yet, but it is already appearing in companies
The complete takeover of the labor market by artificial intelligence is science fiction for now, but the fact is that employers are using it more and more often and more willingly. SD Worx, a European HR solutions provider, conducted a study on the use of artificial intelligence in the workplace among over 5,000 companies and 18,000 employees in 18 European countries. It shows that every third European company has already invested in AI in the workplace.
Poland is the leader in this aspect. As much as 42 percent Polish companies introduce artificial intelligence into the workplace. Behind us is, among others: Romania (40%) and Italy (36%). However, European HR directors do not see artificial intelligence as a significant challenge in 2024. They treat it more as a support that has little chance of replacing a human being.
– Artificial intelligence, whether in the form of a chatbot, an image generator or a tool based on predictive analytics – does not create anything itself, but only relies on the data entered into it. Therefore, instead of being afraid of artificial intelligence, it is better to invest in knowledge and skills that allow us to use the potential of AI in our everyday work – argues Paulina Zasempa, People Country Lead SD Worx Poland.
