IBM CEO Arvind Krishna It soothes nerves about Artificial Intelligence Stealing jobs Pointing to declining working-age populations.
Given the declines—seen in developing economies around the world—having people do routine tasks that A.I. It is not feasible to have people perform routine tasks that A.I. “not an option,” “He said” “We are going to need technology to do some of the mundane work so that people can do higher-value work.” He said that he would add this to the end “there is going to be job creation” A.I. jobs In areas where there is more potential for value creation, the addition of new services and products will also take place.
His remarks, made in a Nikkei interview Published on Saturday are the same as those offered by Google’s former employees this week CEO Eric Schmidt spoke at the Wall Street Journal CEO Council Summit to be held on Wednesday in London
“Here are the facts,” Schmidt Said “We are not having enough children…all the demographics say there’s going to be a shortage of humans for jobs. Literally too many jobs and not enough people for at least the next 30 years.”
Jobs lost to A.I.
Schmidt said that A.I. will have an overall positive impact because of enhanced efficiency and the technology’s ability to Replace occupations getting harder to Workforce shortages can be filled by filling in shrinking markets.

MIT economics professor Daron Acemoglu told the Financial Times This week, the Industrial Revolution led to a number of changes. to progress, “you also had costs that were huge and very long-lasting. A hundred years of much harsher conditions for working people, lower real wages, much worse health and living conditions, less autonomy, greater hierarchy.”

Acemoglu has joined Tesla a few months back CEO Elon Musk, Steve Wozniak and Apple’s cofounder Steve Wozniak have signed an open letter to call for a stop on A.I. tools more powerful than OpenAI’s GPT-4. This is what the letter said:
“Should we automate away all the jobs, including the fulfilling ones? Should we develop nonhuman minds that might eventually outnumber, outsmart, obsolete and replace us? Should we risk loss of control of our civilization? Such decisions must not be delegated to unelected tech leaders. Powerful AI systems should be developed only once we are confident that their effects will be positive and their risks will be manageable.”
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is on tour in Europe, where he meets with European leaders. said Friday: “This idea that A.I. is going to progress to a point where humans don’t have any work to do or don’t have any purpose has never resonated with me.”
“Power will shift”
Then again, in March 2021—before most people were aware of ChatGPT or OpenAI, now valued at nearly $30 billion—Altman wrote in a lengthy blog post:
“My work at OpenAI reminds me every day about the magnitude of the socioeconomic change that is coming sooner than most people believe. Software that can think and learn will do more and more of the work that people now do. Even more power will shift from labor to capital. If public policy doesn’t adapt accordingly, most people will end up worse off than they are today.”

Krishna recently said The following are some examples of how to use IBM The hiring of non-customer-facing positions, currently at a total of to about 26,000 workers. He said, “I could easily see 30% of that getting replaced by A.I. and automation over a five-year period.”
