Future Jobs and AI Impact

people wake in the morning and they have no purpose

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

May we hear from-

What are the jobs of the future?

Elon, go ahead. You can answer that question.

Sorry, the question was about, uh, age of abundance?

What are the jobs of the future? 'Cause 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 ... or SI, pardon me.

Thank you.

Um.

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 the medical benefits.

I think the, uh ... But, but maybe it's worth talking 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.

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

There used to be buildings full of people doing calculations.

Uh, but now, um, comput- 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 has 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 the

future you would want
