tv The Cost of Everything RT September 14, 2023 2:30am-3:01am EDT
2:30 am
to advocate when enhanced an expanded global partnership for sustainable development to meet the time of change commitments. the chief minutes of the sustainable developing goals must remain at the center of international finance and discussions, being showed and finance is mobilized in sufficient quantities and a suitable quality to support development in low and middle income countries. while the nitric nations is commit suited to a policy often leading no one behind and achieving these isg, reaching these goals for african countries. this remains an unfinished business. we, according to the oxy victoria, let's look at the news for now, but of next the cost of everything. and i'm back in about 30 minutes time by the artificial intelligence has become a driving force behind numerous innovations that are re shaping the workplace and
2:31 am
enhancing productivity. recent breakthrough, such as open a, i've tried c, p, t, a mid journey's a i solutions have demonstrated natural language processing and problem solving capabilities. but at the same time, it is open debate surrounding the existential risk and safety of a i and i am 50 i and today we're going to be talking about my name's sake artificial intelligence and its impact on the workplace. should we be concerned about it? and what are the limitations of its capability? what used to be purely science fiction is now fast becoming reality with the rise of artificial intelligence platforms. a i adoption in the workplace could lead to a 40 percent increase in labor productivity by 2035. and companies are increasingly integrating a power virtual assistance like chat g p t in order to streamline customer support
2:32 am
operations and implementing chatbox. this allows for quick personalize assistance that is expected to save businesses over $8000000000.00 annually. and even outside of businesses and work processes a i can help automate routine test and processes at home, freeing up our time to focus on more important things. for example, a i can be used as virtual assistance to automate tests such as scheduling meetings, sending out invites replying to e mails and even creating weekly family tour charts. and as a i gets better understanding human behavior. it can also help us come up with new ideas and find better ways of doing things. for instance, it can take your habits in your life and preferences to generate ideas for the perfect vacation i temporary or plan a getaway. all of these productivity gains will eventually lead to higher profits
2:33 am
for businesses and lower prices for consumers. however, this will also be a double edged knife. as goldman sachs predicts that 300000000 jobs could be lost or diminished by this technology. the one particular industry that a has shown right promising is the health care industry, particularly medical imaging analysis. a algorithms have demonstrated high accuracy in detecting and diagnosing diseases like breast cancer from medical images almost as well. if not better than a double reading by 2 highly trained radiologists, another a, i has actually been trained to work out which sperm are the healthiest and strongest to 8 and fertility treatments. the average male has barely one intense firm that are healthy. this a i has been taught to identify strong swimmers by their shape and the way that they swim. this technology could mark
2:34 am
a significant step forward and the idea of industry by boosting fertilize ation rates and the cost of going through the cycles again and again. a driven analytics have also led to better data driven decision making and businesses and mckenzie report states that a i adoption and data analytics has led to a 50 percent reduction in error rates allow the organizations to make more accurate and impactful decisions. for example, netflix leverage is a i to analyze user data and recommend personalized content contributing to a reported 75 percent of your activity based on a i recommendation. the automation has historically created innovation, which leads to new types of jobs being created. many companies will take their cost savings from a i and use that to grow it's business, ultimately increasing productivity. the growth in a i will likely near the trajectory of past computer and tech product and many jobs
2:35 am
in the office. administrative support, legal architecture, engineering, business operations, sales, and health care will be impacted by automation. unfortunately, automation technology has been the primary driver of income inequality over the past 40 years as well. and for more on a i, we are joined by tech expert, an editor of tech for the people dot org, chris garafallo. so chris, can you share with us some specific examples of a i driven analytics that had led to better decision making, resulting in improve business outcomes? certainly, i think we can see that recommendation engines are everywhere. you know, when, whether it's netflix or amazon, you see that, you know, machine learning and artificial intelligence techniques are being used by all sorts of companies. to recommend products, tv shows, movies even who they want you to be friends with on social media. and that's one of
2:36 am
the major ways that most of us will see the use of a i today directly. but we also see it in other industries in farming. for example, farmers are using artificial intelligence to figure out how to optimize their crop yields and how to manage their soil and move crops around from season to season or year to year in order to get the most out of the land that they have. and the resources that they have, we seen your also in driving and delivery services using machine learning algorithms in a uh, in order to do things like optimize the road that their drivers will take so that we get our packages quicker and they spend less money on gas, for example, what are you going to do so many industries are using a i right now in a i is a really broad category of technology. now, what industries can i make a significant impact it? this is a great question because a i is, is
2:37 am
a tool like many tools and you can use tools and all sorts of ways. so people have found very creative ways to use a i, for example, the farmers that again, they're using it to optimize crops. i'm also going to students are using a i to optimize, you know, how they learn, and how they study with flash cards of businesses or using it to optimize time calendars and their staffing levels. and i think, you know, that can also be a certain challenge as well. when you look at how would tool h a i is use really when we think about a lot of the, the industry is that it can impact. it's where there's a lot of data, you know, a huge amount of data that needs to be processed and no person or in a traditional computing techniques could actually match the power that the new ai systems have given us to analyze data, to find patterns and defined ideal outcomes, how do you envision involving in the future and what potential breakthrough is,
2:38 am
do you see that could further revolutionize the workplace? certainly, you know, we need to be able to bring a guy to all people, you know, right? rather than leave it in the hands of a few, just because we all use a i, in our day to day lives now, whether it's machine learning or content generation. you know, when we can actually benefit the entire world. we actually also question, need to question when and how we're going to use it. right now. it's being used primarily to drive profit. it's, it is almost entirely being used by businesses, by universities, by organizations to drive greater profit. and that's where we need to make a change. we actually have to start looking and seeing, you know, is it possible to use a all right, to help make a better community health care decisions. for example, to identify breakouts of pandemic earlier by analyzing the data from, for example, wastewater. and that's something that has been happening. um, so there are,
2:39 am
there are a lot of ways that we can use these technologies to really build a better future for ourselves. but it comes down to who controls the, is it the wealthy and the bosses, or is it actually the, the, you know, billions of us the global community, who decides that we want to use these technologies? you know, for to, to better all of us. i thought everyone with a basic standard of living, we're already able to access the technology. oh, sure you can access so you can go and sign up for or chat g p t, for example, or one of the many services that will create an image for you given you know, just a description of what it is you want. and that is something that anyone can do, but those services are still owned by a small group of people. those are owned by, by the wealthy. and we don't get to decide the features that they put in. and we don't get to decide how those tools are use, we can play with them and that's effectively, you know, what, in many ways what we're doing when we use something like chat, g, p,
2:40 am
t. and we don't actually say, you know, get to say that we want to use artificial intelligence systems to figure out better ways to improve the traffic or public transit in our communities, to figure out where pollution is coming from and address it that way. that's the kind of thing that we could use a i for but it doesn't get the funding because it's not profitable. how would you address concerns related to job displacement due to a i adoption and ensure a smooth transition for employees whose roles may be effected. this is such a huge concern, and i think all workers need to be concerned about how their employers are bringing a eye into their fields and their companies. because again, we have very little control. the average person has very little control over how our bosses or companies are using these technologies. we should be able to say, as workers who know our jobs best, here are the ways that we can use
2:41 am
a i. and here are the ways that we shouldn't or don't want to use it, because ultimately is still extremely far from replacing human intelligence and intuition and creativity. but that's not how those who are seeking only to maximize profit, see it. they just want to make the most money, and if that means they can use a i to replace people and get 80 or 90 percent of the same job done by a machine, they'll do that. so we need to actually guarantee that people have a right to a job and not everyone is going to work in technology. i think that's a, you know, accommodate idea that everyone can learn to code. so to say that's not realistic and it's not for everyone just like not everyone is going to be a farmer or drive a truck or work in construction. i think there's a lot of different jobs out there that we can, that you know, people do. we need to make sure and across the world that a, i is not used to remove people from jobs, but to actually make jobs safer for people and easier to do,
2:42 am
even for the companies to replace workers with a technology and increase their profits. i mean, a recent example is the hollywood stripe, where the company owners, instead of comply with the strike is demands are heavily investing on a i instead. yeah, as, as one example we saw recently the during the writers strike on netflix, put out a job posting for an a i engineer that would make $900000.00 us dollars per year. nearly a $1000000.00 a year between salary and bonuses and stocks for somebody who would work on a i, for all of the various uses that the netflix uses a ais for, rather than paying the writers and actors, you know, fair wages. so of course, the, you know, any time there's a new technology, the bosses, you know, those who are seeking only to make profit are going to go and, you know, try to use that technology to enhance their profit. but that's why, you know,
2:43 am
we see, since you brought up the writer straight, the writers are saying like we don't want a, i to replace our work. actors are saying the same thing. there are, there are companies now that will scan your officially patterns and how you react to things and your emotions and your movements and, and mouth movements and even your whole body. and then they can actually take you and using a all i call you your likeness into to an image or into a film. and actors are also saying, we don't want that. we don't want our likeness to be able to just be copied like that. and we get no money from it. and so i think we need to listen to the workers who are really being affected by a i what are the writers or actors, teachers, delivery drivers or anyone else. and really, as we try to understand how we should guide the world in the use of it, as a continues to advance. how do you plan to maintain a balance between
2:44 am
a autonomy and human oversight to ensure ethical and responsible a usage. there always has to be oversight and guidance from humans into the use of a shock that can't be negotiable. we can't just let a system that has been trained by people. we should say, you know, the, the systems don't train themselves right now. they have to take input from somewhere and we're feeding them that information that they get trained on and that they get learned. and so you can't separate really the, you know, autonomy of an ai system from the human oversight because there's always at some point human input into it. whether that's the training or the, you know, internal feedback loops that, that are involved with it. but there always has to be human oversight, not just for the development of a i and the, and the deployment of it. also just, you know, whether or not we use it. and then again, that's the question that isn't asked off enough. is, should we be using
2:45 am
a i i think we are a long way on a technical level for having an a i that actually is autonomous. it is not something that is feasible today. it's called artificial general intelligence. ag, i, it's not feasible today. it's not where we're at today. and, you know, the best guess is from the experts, are that we're still very far away from it. that it is not something that we're going to be able to achieve, you know, in the near term as we think about, you know, we get there. we really do need to be considering, how is it that we're going to maintain human oversight and who are the humans who are over seeing this a i do we, we cannot just let it go on its own. thank you so much, chris, but please stick around. tech expert, chris carrasco. will stay with us right after the break and when we're back, are people concerned about losing their jobs with advancements? is this true? don't go way
2:46 am
the the by most of the known and we will pose what i mean, terms of got it. and the for the lower ability. when, when is the check, i can see what we want to set up like what sort of issue is utah? those are, you know, even from the, she's here, what is the idea in the policy, you know, in syria, in the most it won't be seen by easy or is that what is it going to get?
2:47 am
2:48 am
in the system must be the one else calls question about this, even though we will then in the european union, the kremlin mission, the state on the russians cruising and split the ortiz full neck, keeping our video agency roughly all the band on youtube tv services, for what question did you say to stephen twist, which is the, as a continues to advance, there are concerns about job displacements and unemployment. according to the world economic forum by 2025 automation in a, i could this place around 85000000 jobs while it makes these operational jobs
2:49 am
obsolete. it would also create $97000000.00 new rules across various industries. however, navigating this transition requires comprehensive workforce development programs. for example, microsoft has invested 20000000000 dollars in an a i for accessibility program to help people with disabilities, acquire new skills and secure employment opportunities in a i driven industries. and in california, the 1st of many labour protests against a is already happening with hollywood writers who wanted to make sure they won't be replaced by a i tools like charge you p t. this will most likely be replicated by unions across the country. as the technology becomes more prevalent, retail isn't safe either as when these is currently test a drive through chatbox. bloomberg estimated that at least a quarter of american workforce will have their jobs impacted by a i in the next 5 years and have to have g p to work to display software engineers
2:50 am
. no single country would be more impacted than india. home to over 5000000 coders, students from the top technology institutes are nervous about a i, because they're the ones who are likely design new ai system. but it's a tens of thousands of other engineers who don't have the degrees from the li universities who are worried because of slumped and routine coating jobs is around the corner. it is likely that entry level coding jobs could be all literally rated in the next 5 years. the dangers of unchecked a i autonomy is another thing to be aware of in the medical field using algorithms for diagnosing diseases may lead to false positives. are mist diagnosis is not properly supervised. to address this health care professionals need to work in hand them with a i system. i leverage the a i capabilities while exercising human judgment. another major area of concern is
2:51 am
a i generated content which can lead to miss information and fake news that this was apparent in a recent headline when a lawyer used chat, g p t to prepare a filing for a routine personal injury suit. but the bought delivered fix cases that the attorney then presented to the court. recognizing this organizations like open a i r, emphasizing responsible a i usage. so for this and more, let's bring in again, tech expert, an editor of tech for the people dot org, chris grossbach. now chris, and given that a i can produce contents such as articles and social media posts. how do you address concerns about the spread of misinformation and fake news generated by a i models? you know, it's not a new problem. there has been misinformation and this information is, you know, fake news. so say for a very long time. well, before, even you know,
2:52 am
the internet or technology, it's, the internet has enabled this kind of information to spread so much faster. it's unable to, to reach millions of people the 2nd after it's posted. and what a, i am particularly content generation. a eyes i have enabled is creating the content a bit faster and having a full news article rather than just, you know, an e mail for word or a social media post. and so there are websites that are set up with you all full of a, i generated fake content, and that is a problem, right? there is a very real problem and it's actually a social problem that we have to solve, not necessarily a technical problem. we need the oversight in the use and development of the art, but it actually develop, it's actually a social problem that people fall for this misinformation that they don't understand how to verify a new source. and ultimately, even that people don't have basic trust in establishments in governments, in
2:53 am
a society that they will fall for, or you know, purposely believe a lot of the content that they see. so that's actually not something we have to address necessarily with technology, but it's really a social problem that we have to address and what are some limitations of a i and what are some jobs that you think i can never replace? will of course there's physical jobs a i isn't going to replace a physical job, somebody you know, going out and you know, replacing a power line. for example, you know, robotics didn't get very star, but where we are now and for the foreseeable, foreseeable future, we're not going to be to replace a place where most of these physical in the real world jobs can be replaced by a i a alone. but a lot of the limitations around it come from the ideas that people have about a i, right ai is not one kind of entity or technology. it's many different types of systems and technologies and we will look at it that way. as i mentioned earlier,
2:54 am
a g, i artificial general intelligence and there's a lot of hype right now that we're going to get so close to a g. i. meaning that we need the machines are thinking for themselves and actually, you know, surpassing human capabilities. we really are nowhere near that, right now. we look at something like chat, g, p t, for example. um, it's very easy to, you know, configurator prompted to spit out nonsense. uh, you know, it answers to a question to have it give you actually, you know, miss information that it's found that the human could actually easily spot. and so there's no real limitations. but the biggest limitation is that again, we have no say really over how these technologies are being used with the potential for a i to mimic human language and voices. how can we prevent a i systems from be exploited for malicious purposes, such as social engineering or fraud?
2:55 am
yeah, so there does need to be regulation on these kinds of things to make it to make it illegal, to use, you know, deep fakes to make fake phone calls for example, which is a, something that's happening now. the people are scanning the voices of people and calling their relatives and using ai to have a whole conversation to scan them out of money. for example, that needs to be illegal to create or use that kind of product. but again, it also goes back to this idea that it's not just a technology problem, but there's a social problem that leads to crime in general, any kind of crime, any kind of, you know, scamming and these social problems also have to be addressed. where, you know, why is it that people are driven into scam other people or to commit crimes, whether it's using a gun on the street or using an artificial intelligence from a computer half way around the world. you know, we need to be able to address things like poverty and, you know,
2:56 am
decide of dissatisfaction with society and the general alien nation that so many people feel the lack of hope they feel to, to prevent a lot of these things. but like i said, we do have to actually address and make it legal. the use of these technologies as well, certainly raise the barrier to entry for a i such as maybe the price of a i. so people are not tempted to commit fraud, but this would limit access of the technology to select this, you know, absolutely, i think what i mean instead, you know, not just the, we're not raising the price. uh for the, you know, limiting access to a item that way, but you know, you actually lift the lid poverty, which is the number one reason people commit crimes, especially property crimes, is because they have a need, they need to have money, they need no money for their rent, or food or medical care, and that's actually number one reason some people commit these kinds of crimes, especially international that you, when the, when the crimes cross international borders. and so we have to address the issues
2:57 am
of poverty that lead to people doing these things. it's similar to the email scans that yeah, i'm sure we all get, you know, saying that you've won a lottery or something like that. you know, nowadays they end up our spam folder but, and those have nothing to do with a i, but they still show that there is a entire industry built around that. and people buy into it because they feel they feel and need to make that money. however, they can. thank you so much, chris, for all your time today. a i as a general term these days. and these previous examples are in reality, not real a i, but a combination of big data and machine learning. true a, i has not yet been achieved and instead these systems are designed to excel at specific tasks, but lack broader cognitive abilities. the future of true a, i would be a system that possesses general cognitive ability, similar to human intelligence, enabling it to be use and learn and understand various tests rather than to just
2:58 am
regard to take what he hears and sees online. while this tool would be a great tool, it could also be used for harm spreading this information and manipulation. with the rise of tried c p t. suddenly some of the most respected scientists in the field are speeding up their own timelines for when they think computers learned to out think humans and become manipulative. a still many do not believe in a i take over something that people need to be concerned about. right now, the ripple effects of the technology are still very unclear and entire industries are bracing for disruption, including what used to be considered a stable white color job like a lawyer or physician. i'm christy. i. thanks for watching and we'll see you right back here next time on the cost of everything. the
2:59 am
the queue for this to because over at the for the this instead of what i'm not going to be on the bottom of the dora slash pursuing the flash. yeah. because i moved enough, i just wonder was it was just a little after much me on this problem. they quoted what, what symbol, which is good for those who will need to be moved
3:00 am
on to something on a computer or device. the death toll from deadly storms. in libya has surpassed 8000 with the official saying that number could double a local journalist as entire neighborhoods have been swept away. oh, my friend, all of their relatives, all of the people that i know, all of them are dead. the use foreign policy chief, joseph burrell, admits the blocks, decade long mission, and the africans to hell region failed to bring the desired results. many africans believing they need to solve problems on the confidence themselves. the most the come to the to how's it going? sort of uh you know, what, let me talk to you. i was told that a deal on you for the last private security being.
