Artificial intelligence and automation will create far more jobs than they displace. However, people should prepare for job loss due to robotics and learn new professions, says the chairman of Sberbank, Herman Gref, via Интерфакс.
“We see that artificial intelligence creates more jobs than it eliminates. […] Structurally — these are different jobs,” he said during the marathon “New Knowledge”.
According to Gref, this process has accompanied humanity throughout the development of technology. At present, the primary task is to prepare for global changes in the labour market, the head of Sberbank believes.
“When the fifth generation of autonomous machines is fully adapted, 250 million people will lose their jobs,” he said.
He is confident that people should be informed about forthcoming changes a decade in advance so that they have the opportunity to master a new profession. Gref added that the state and large business should help retrain specialists.
The head of Sberbank also stated that he does not believe in online schooling in schools. However, he said, remote education for professionals will be effective.
“It is already very effective. And these opportunities need to be created,” he added.
As reported in May 2021, Nobel laureate Daniel Kahneman stated that machine intelligence will surpass human intelligence, but is far from that.
In March, the CEO of DataRobot urged the democratization of artificial intelligence. According to him, more often than not companies fail to implement AI at the data preparation stage, and for the industry it is critically important to help them go through this stage.
Co-founder and president of the nonprofit OpenAI, Sam Altman, said that in the next ten years AI will create enough wealth to pay every American $13 500 per year.
