Impact of AI on Job Market
So tell me about why you think AI really will take jobs away from
human beings at a significant scale.
Yeah. So
there, there's no doubt to date, AI has created more jobs
than it's destroyed. The demand for the skill sets,
even just to
build the data centers is very, very high.
We have a, a, you know, a
reasonably low, uh, unemployment rate.
The superiority of these systems is subject
to a threshold where you have to believe that it's incredibly
reliable. You know, if you're going to have your telesales or
telesupport capability be AI
driven, uh, you wanna make sure
that its accuracy is better than humans.
And so
the only profession we've truly crossed over that threshold is
coding. And even there, I know a lot of people who are, you know,
kind of
stuck, uh, in the past and, you know, don't wanna use the AI for
coding. But managers of coders get
that most applications can be developed very
inexpensively. We will, in the next few years, cross over those
thresholds for accounting, legal work,
telesales, telesupport, where twenty-four hours a day
in, in every language with infinite trivia
capability
and no urgency, you know. So you look at the AI
nurse, and there's several companies. They have perfect memory.
They don't hurry to get up-
This being like a nurse you would call on the phone or talk to through a chat
interface.
Yeah, like ChatGPT.
Yeah.
Uh, far preference. You know, you go to San Francisco and ask people,
"Would you
rather ride in a Waymo or rather ride with a human driver?" Go
ask people in
the UK who use Limbik for mental health support, uh,
you know. So the notion that just the market
demand preference for driving or
the nurse, uh,
you know, or even the, the person on the phone will favor humans,
that's a quality threshold which will be passed
through. You know, if, if say, insurance companies are still human, doing
humans do claims, medical claims, which is a very
AI, uh, capable task, then a competitor
who has very few human employees will come in and, uh,
change the pricing model for that industry.
So the two counterarguments I've heard people make on this, one is that
you have a Jevons paradox effect, where
the
cheaper, more widespread availability
