Future Jobs and AI Impact Discussion

Across the world are worried about their own job when it comes to SI.

Yeah.

And Mr. Musk has spoken about an age of abundance,

which sounds lovely, but

what about when people wake in the morning-

Elon, I didn't see you back there. What are you doing so far?

May we hear from him?

What are the jobs of the future?

Elon, go ahead. You can answer that.

Sorry, question was what? An age of abundance?

What are the jobs of the future? People looking at this will be worried,

particularly laptop jobs. What, what are they gonna do in the future,

Mr.

Musk?

Well, I think it is worth, uh, highlighting the pos-

the positive benefits of AI,

uh, which will, or SI, pardon me.

Thank you.

Super intelligence. Um, I, I think by far the most likely outcome

is an

age of abundance, uh, where we don't have just, uh,

universal basic income, we

have universal high income. Um, and, uh, you know,

people speak about medical benefits. I think the, uh...

But, but maybe it's worth talk a bit more about

that.

Um, when you have, uh, robots and you have super intelligence,

it means that everyone in the world can have better medical care than

anyone here, including me.

Um, and wouldn't that be wonderful?

Not if they haven't got a job.

Well, jobs are going to change. Jo- jobs have always changed.

Uh, but, uh, it... Being a computer used to be a job.

There used to be buildings full of people doing calculations.

Uh, but now, uh, compute, you know, digital computers do, do those

tasks. I don't think anyone is, uh, pining to go back and do calculations

all day, uh, to do bank interest rates, which is what they used to do.

So I think we'll see an evolution of, of roles.

Um, and, uh, and as the president's mentioned, the, uh,

it's, it's not as though, uh, unemployment has increased.

In fact, there's a tremendous demand for people.

Um, so I, I think the most likely outcome, and it's probably worth looking

at the most likely outcome, uh, is one which is incredibly beneficial

and it's a

future that you... If you could, if you could look into the future, it

is a future

you would want.

Uh, Elon and I sat with President Xi the other

day, and

he will take every data center that we don't want.

Do you agree with that?

Yeah.

He's done-- He would love to have every single one,

because you know why?

They're smart. They want every data center.

They want it because that's great for China.

Well, it's great for us, and we're leading by a lot,

and we're gonna keep it that

way. It's gonna be also, it's gonna be very, very safe,

and there's a

self-policing and there's also a group policing, and it's

gonna be great.

What's the question?

Mr. President-

Who's waiting for you all?
