Sharon Connolly @SharonConnolly: "I worry about statements like..."

Australia

I worry about statements like this. Not because I'm worried about losing my job to AI, but I'm worried about the panic it causes amongst the non-IT-Savvy population. I wish Mustafa Suleyman would talk more about shifting responsibilities rather than replacements. What valuable work will you be able to do when AI frees you up from mundane repetitive tasks? Where and how can you add value now that you're not so bogged down by admin? 100% if you still work in a typing pool, typing up notes from dictations, yep, your job is history. (Yes, people still are employed doing this. I worked on a project re-deploying typists last year. I work on multiple AI projects, and I wish they would focus on improvements rather than replacements. For example, there is a global shortage of radiologists. This can result in scans not being seen quickly enough. On a recent project, I worked on an AI tool that pre-screens breast cancer imaging. It detects things not visible to the human eye and, when it detects an anomaly, moves it to the front of the queue for review by two radiologists. The radiologists are not being replaced; they are being assisted to do their best work in a timely manner. I use AI tools daily. I find them sometimes useful, often frustrating; they definitely don't replace me. If anything, they make me feel more confident about the non-AI decisions I'm making. I'm a Microsoft MVP (Most Valuable Professional). I'm excited to go to Seattle next month and learn about what's on the horizon. While I'm sceptical about the reality of sweeping statements about wiping out job functionality, I do believe AI, and the industry that powers AI, will continue to boom. $MSFT (Microsoft) $NVDA (NVIDIA Corporation) $TSM (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co Ltd - ADR) $AAPL (Apple) $GOOG (Alphabet) are some of the AI players in my portfolio.
