AI May Change Creative Jobs, Boost Teamwork
OpenAI‘s top scientist, Mira Murati, says AI might get rid of some creative jobs that weren’t that important in the first place. She believes Artificial intelligence will ultimately encourage creativity and collaboration.
Murati’s comments, reported in a Business Today article, sparked debate during a recent speech at her alma mater,Dartmouth College. She spoke about the future of artificial intelligence and its potential impact on society.
Her remarks touched a nerve in an era of rapid technological advancement. The possibility of AI automating tasks people normally do, especially in creative fields, raises concerns about job security and the future of work.
AI as a Teammate
Murati emphasized that AI tools like ChatGPT and DALL-E are meant to be used with people. These technologies, she argues, don’t replace creativity; they enhance and expand it by providing new avenues for artistic expression and problem-solving.
“It’s just a tool, right?” she stated. “I expect that we will actually collaborate with it and it’s going to make our creativity flourish.”
Making Creativity Available to All
Murati also highlighted AI’s potential to democratize creativity. The tools could make creative pursuits more accessible to individuals who previously lacked the resources or training.
“Whether it’s creating new designs, coding, writing, or exploring concepts in topology,” she explained, “you can learn and interact with these things in a much more intuitive way, which helps you learn more.”
Safeguarding AI Development
The discussion also addressed the ethics of AI development. Murati acknowledged the importance of carefully managing AI systems as their capabilities grow.
She emphasized the need for a multi-stakeholder approach to regulation, involving developers, policymakers, and the public. Additionally, she stressed the importance of organizations like OpenAI in driving responsible research and mitigating potential risks associated with AI.
“We’re thinking a lot about this,” she explained. “It’s definitely true that we will have advanced AI systems with general capabilities, connecting to the internet, communicating with each other, and working seamlessly with humans.”
