Don’t worry, they’ll be plenty of jobs in the Human resistance fighting against the robot overlords.

I agree with the first guy. We actually have a LOT of automation already in tech. Look at app generators, low-code, no-code solutions, containers, etc. The roles will simply change to higher level thinking.

What I don’t understand is why people think AI will create new jobs. The only reason previous technologies created new jobs was because they were not replacing intelligence. We still need experts to communicate with AI and conduct research, but there will be less demand for mid or low-level tech or science jobs.

I think everyone underestimates how simple and repetitive their job actually is when you break it down

The eyes of CEOs shine every time they mention AI nowadays, they think of all the jobs that AI will replace, their stocks will go through the roof as soon as they start saving big money. The thing is, with millions losing their jobs, who's going to buy their dumb products? I think that that's what all these CEOs are not considering. Probably governments will have to jump in at some point and create subsidies for people. Winter is coming folks, get ready because we've seen nothing like this before.

I haven't watched this but I expect there will be a lot of optimism bias displayed. BTW, when it comes to disruption, keep a few things in mind: 1) Technology doesn't have to do your job as well as you do it; it just has to do it cheaper enough and good enough to put you out of work. 2) Sometimes, a successful innovation is actually not even good enough, but it still displaces real workers because it's massively hyped as better by investor money spent on hyping it. 3) The funny thing is, not every good idea succeeds . . . but also, not every bad idea fails. 4) If you think you can escape disruption by becoming something like a plumber, keep in mind that as more and more professions fall to disruption, the additional unemployed will retrain for the few remaining professions, so there will be plenty of people competing with you for plumbing jobs. You'll be like those workers waiting at the factory gates every morning during the Great Depression, hoping to get a few hours work that day. 5) This will even affect physicians and dentists: once everyone is out of work, how will they have money to pay your bill?

Cool Lucy! Getting insights from different people working at different companies and roles. Nicely put

Hello Lucy! I've starting following recently as i was looking for opinions on how to move on on my IT career, and among the hundreds of videos i've seen talking almost about the same, mentioning generic evolutionary paths to follow in learning, i've became more attached to your videos for the transparency in the information you provide and your honest and proven opinions. This to say that i really like your content and now this kind of interviews with real people in the industry is the cherry on top for someone like me that want to really know what's been happening to people in the field. Please keep it up, and if possible try to make more interviews, i'ts really great to watch and you're really good at it as well! Wish you the greatest success ;)

I'm so glad I clicked on the video, Anne's answer to your question about should people be getting into tech was brilliant and filled with wisdom that only comes with experience. Great video.

If AI is going to replace human workers in the scale people fear, there's going to be a lot of unrest worldwide. Millions of jobs being replaced means a lot less taxes being collected. If people lose their jobs, that means less money in the economy. In this case people can't afford to spend as much as they used to. This will also affect businesses. Their customers would be in less favourable economic situation to continue their spending habits.

Awesome work Lucy! Really interesting to hear the opinion of different tech specialists in different fields of the industry.

Wow almost 100k subs... crazy to see how far you've come

Finally a video with a lot of substence to it on KZfaq. Very good questions and answers, thank you for this. You're a very a good journalist / reporter😉

I really enjoy your Videos Lucy . I have been in Telecom for quite awhile and am exploring cloud now. I think people are always afraid of changes in technology that come out, they replace jobs but it just makes you continue to work on improving your skillset to keep up with the changes. Some of what AI can do is a bit scary to a lot of us, maybe because we have all seen Terminator 2

The people saying there will be no job loss from automation are delusional. Governments will have to step in to keep the Capitalist economy going or people will have to move beyond Capitalism.

I think it’s the wrong venue for such a question. You’ll get an echo chamber response. Maybe go to a business owner conference and ask them if they would hire developers or just have ai do the work? Also I think replacement is not the keyword here but displace or even devalue tech jobs. When you use replace people will be defense but devalue would be more devastating and more realistic.

id like to watch this video in 10 years, to see the results, either their opinions are gonna sound so arcaic or be validated

As a content writer, I have to be honest. I wonder why I’m not laid off yet when Chat GPT can generate texts in an instant in my writing style when I prompt it do so. I use Chat GPT daily and the way I ‘redeem’ my job is by somewhat personalizing the text. The job I do is repetitive since I write articles related to the pest control industry. My industry is very much stagnant which makes it perfect for AI to take over. That being said, I’m upskilling right now to marketing which is another field that can easily be automated with generative tools lol so either way, I’m screwed.

Great contribution to receive advices of the people who know a lot of the theme

My biggest concern about the statements these people made is that they don't address the possibility of (and in my opinion, strong current trend towards) complacency by societies, industries, companies, communities; complacency to settle for what works versus what is actually a good worthwhile endeavor for the long term; complacency to just live in an ai-driven society that revolves around tech that would appear to perform "thinking" effectively despite its true shortcomings.

As a result of AI i think: -less entry level roles it’s already hard to crack the job market as it is in Europe many people need master degrees and multiple interview rounds - middle class is going to keep shrinking (staples of the middle class such as mid level bankers have shrunk incredibly due to tech most productivity gaings going to the top) - more senior roles, senior positions are still going to be needed and will increase inequality either you are in or you are not. - people that lose their jobs and don’t retrain are going to be left behind it’s easy to say new jobs are being created but retraining takes investment, time, willpower, gives stress and is easier said that done kinda like the «learn to code » saying 5 to 7 years ago but now AI can replace then what are we going to say « learn to be a data analist or scientist »

good job on sampling opinions from tech people and people who at least have an idea on how AIs operate. Like the 1st person, I've also tried experimenting with generative AIs, so far, I've tried Bluewillow, Dall-e, Midjourney, it's been fun and learned a lot even when building a prompt.

Wow lucy hits the streets 🔥 congrats on your channel success fam

So, I would say that with time more and more niche AI models will be made and some might even be a business were they are sold. These models would then be used on own data to do whatever they are specified for.

Great video! As someone who is just starting their career in tech, I found it highly insightful to hear from those who have been working in the industry for years about their thoughts on AI/ML. I completely agree that in order to thrive in the tech industry, one must possess the important abilities of continuous learning and adaptability.

I noticed you tailoring and adjusting your questions on the fly to focus the conversation to each speakers strengths and where you felt they could prove the most value and insight. It helped the speaker feel comfortable and make them able to talk about the subject in a way they are passionate about it. Super cool as a case study to see how well you use this technique. It definitely contributed to make the video better and kept it interesting. Thanks!

Thank you for this content Lucy, I'm inspired. and thanks for the links to ZTM i'll give it a try

Interesting opinions!! Thanks Lucy for touring around and helping us with the new views on AI

Another great video, Lucy! This is definitely on a lot of people's minds!

In the industries I have worked security and data integrity are huge concerns. Unless those corporations are going to build their own custom, bespoke AI solutions it likely won't effect their business. Because there's no way they can open up their data to outside vendors.

Honestly, If AI replaces me (I am a software engineer/full-stack), I will be happy. I will move on, I will have an excuse to start something new.

I don't think ai will create more jobs like internet did. Unlike internet ai will not require any human to operate it. Ai will be a perfect replacement for human workforce in future

I personally think AI will replace more jobs then people realize. And thats largely from a financial perspective as its undeniable that tech companies have made decisions in the past that were to the determent of their employees and for the betterment of the bottom line and share price. I don't think AI will ever completely replace a lot of roles but the end result will be less people being hired due to companies having a financial incentive to do so by forcing new and existing employees to use these tools as a time and cost saving measure. Just observationally being in my 30s, a lot of entry level software engineering problems can be solved today using commercial tools like ChatGPT Plus (GPT 4). LLMs are going to be the Human-to-AI interface as LLMs grow to allow access to tooling and AI models that are trained for 1 specific purpose. And on the research side, those application specific AIs are the most interesting and potentially job destroying. There are medical AIs that can read X-rays better then Radiologists; Nvidia's purposed projects internally and with partners like Adobe are pretty groundbreaking as well. Will they replace 3d Artists who are currently employed at VFX companies or game studios? Probably not all of them, but the level of work a single or small team of artists will be able to create with these AI tools means that a lot less 3d artists will need to be hired on for a commercial project. I see this same thing happening in tech, more so when companies start to develop their own LLMs that are trained internally on their own codebase and tools. Everything though, its still a year or so away. We are in the Commodore 64/Apple 2 era of AI as an analog to the rise of the computer industry. But with libraries like Pytorch getting better and better, while also becoming easier and easier to use with more and more people knowing how to create AI models - combined with the fact that the hardware required to train internal AI becoming cheaper and cheaper through innovation and cloud computing providers competing on pricing. I do not think companies creating their own models is far fetched or Sci-Fi at all. In fact, almost every company I know is doing exactly that today and it could be just 6 months to a year until they feel comfortable deploying these models internally or releasing new products to the public.

for AI to replace software developers. It would need to generate perfect code. Im an embedded software/firmware developer and it will take some time. The big issue will be that some engineer will still need to verify everything. Ask chatGPT to write a PCIe or a Ps2 device driver lol

Keep in mind that compared to normal algorithms, AI (neural networks) have inherit error margins. So, there always needs to be ways to make sure whatever is produces works correctly. Images and videos doesn't matter as much as who cares if some pixel is off, but other stuff it's more important. Code works or not to compile for example. You can look AI to redo it, but then someone needs to make sure the logic created does what it should.

great video!! i think what this whole thing boils down to is, we will all need to learn a new set of skills to survive and thrive. And everybody hates to start over at the beginning again. 👍🤠

Programmers will not lose their jobs, because the clients will ask for more, or the companies will be able to provide more for "the same price" so they would be more competitive. The ones that chose to provide the same quality or amount of features, with fewer programmers, will eventually regret it, as they will stay behind!

Now This has cleared all my worries, Thanks Lucy.

you rock lucy im interested in getting into cloud computing but I have zero coding skills I love your videos

"AI is going to be very useful", "AI is going to create new jobs". They just say this but never go into detail at all

When we start using all these different reactive machine AI tools in neural nets to solve more and more complex problems (AGI), this is when AI will start taking over more decision making roles; as it will be able to opperate with capability levels closer to humans.

I am an 8 year experienced engineer and I LOVE AI, why? Because I finally get to have what I want! Instead of begging an animation company to create an anime of an underrated game we loved, AI will now be able to do that with improvements over the next decade, INSTANTANEOUSLY and FREE! Of course that has nothing to do with Engineering so now I will answer from my perspective. My org already uses chatGPT or bard. Actually only execs have access to chatGPT (wtf right) but we can get around it by using bard (I prefer gpt) Anyways heres my experience with it as a senior Engineer: It cannot solve contemporary problems. AI depends on preexisting knowledge set. It cannot brainstorm NEW solutions. All those beautiful websites and design patterns it uses in generated code? All that my friends already exists in abundance on the internet, and realistically no company actually needs that stuff in their existing products. So who does that really benefit? Either new entrepreneurs or students who want to build personal websites, but then again theres many free services like wix that have existed for a decade that offer free website building and allowes for easier customization too...with chatGPT or other AI tools, you need to assume the person knows what they are doing with the generated code otherwise it all looks geberish to a noobie. They still need to buy custom domains and configuring a payment model for traffic, such as the loadbalancer and AI doesn't have access to your credit cards nor can it create accounts on server providers like AWS or Azure nor can it purchase domains. However this DOES mean less need for web designers or front end engineers, not fully extinct but fewer jobs in that area. So I think SRE and Devops Engineering will be the most in demand tech title in the next decade because at least for now, AI cannot solve incidents such as service unavailability or major network disruptions or the ability to scale up or down as needed. Youd have to feed the entire company's codebase to an AI model and no company is gonna do that to expose their proprietary product tech to a vendor AI's servers as has been shown with samsung. And even if the companies build their own models that will require building their own datacenters with expensive supercomputers that requires at least a decade to setup, not to mention maintenance...so who is gonna be supporting the platform during that timeframe? We get about 5 software incidents/2 weeks, and everyone of the solutions was unique and never found on the internet. So how will AI be able to help here? It wont, at least for a very long time. When I used it, it spat out the same recommendations you find everywhere: 1. Restart 2. Check configuration 3. Check credentials 4. Check NSG's Etc. And none of that was helpful. The problem turns out to be an expired certificate in a keyvault after support engineers analyzed the traffic logs. Another incident was sonething wrong with the palo Altos. Stuff like that AI cannot recommend unique solutions for the meantime because its dependent on existing knowledge bases

Beautiful Lucy, so what do you think a newbee trying to go into tech shiuld be thinkjng about. What roles or learning path should one work on critically. Especially for someone wuth background in Maths and Stats.

If chatGpt replaces testing job that would be Automation as that is highly repetitive once you put in the code you need to keep running it and maintain it. Manual testing is something where engineers talk to devs, pm, understand the business modal, talk to users and analyze the use case. I don’t see AI is there yet. But definitely it will replace many jobs than we are anticipating it today😢

Set aside ChatGPT for a bit, AI has already been automating a lot our day-to-day tasks for a very long time. Movie & product recommendations, certain weather forecasting models, virtual assistants, vehicle safety features such as Audi's pre-sense, the list goes on and on. A lot of these technologies have been impacting our day-to-day lives since the 90s (maybe the 80s? happy to be corrected) And since then the number of jobs have been growing. As a software engineer & AI/ML specialist, I always tell people AI is not their enemy when it comes to job security.

The current consensus is that AI will serve as a supplement to tech jobs that allows higher level thinking. However this will require those working in tech to adapt and learn skills that AI can't do for them.

This video is super informative 👏 👌 Lucy. Thanks

When he said testing might be replaced… my heart stopped. I’m a testing engineer… 😢

I work in education and to say AI could not replace because requiring face to face interaction. I think is crazy naive. Having an AI for each student that could teach or basically be a 1 on 1 tutor and would be boatloads cheaper to utilize and would probably provide a better educational experience.

I give myself 10 years before AI makes me obsolete in the tech industry. AI is one of those exponentially improving systems that eventually will be able to learn not only the skills I know now and how I solve problems, but can find 10 other ways to solve those problems and pick the optimal solution, then provide an in-depth report about it and eventually can give the presentations and demos itself as well. Once AI is mature enough, tools will be built for regular business people to input whatever their requirements are with specifics into a plain English system, and the AI will spit out an entire buildable application that has been unit tested perfectly and deployed to cloud that meets all of those requirements in around 20 minutes. The only human IT staff needed at that point would be the ones who fix the systems the AI runs on when it breaks, and give it another 10 years before the AI will identify it is broken and fix itself.

I mean, a lot of engineers in silicon valley were overpaid googlers that were hired simply to lower the amount of available workers to competitors. Is it any surprise AI was developed to be able to code when companies were paying 6 figures salaries for people that barely did any work?

I started warning about how advanced AI was going to get in 2018, and I was laughed at. Now? People are still in denial. The stages of grief will pass, eventually.

Somehow answering someone "I have been in tech longer have you have been on this planet" is satisfying lol!

We can boost scientific progress by processing data from Boinc distributed computing software

I am happy to hear this insights

"If you love tech and you're excited by tech, you should just give it a go, nothing in life gives you full answers, you're never going to be 100% sure whether is the right thing but thats part of life" Thank you for this for the third person

Another amazing tech employees video! I learned a lot about AI and it’s future. That also explains why ChatGPT is so valued in anything I do for my day to day life. Thank you Lucy for this video 😃

Excellent video, great to see it.

Everyone of the interviewees are using it in their day-to-day work but are too afraid to admit it.

I am going to the AWS Summit 1st of June in Amsterdam. I am completely starting at cloud and learning a lot now from the Udemy courses of Stephan and Neil. I am excited to go to the summit. What to expect as a cloud beginner from the AWS Summit? Can you tell something about it Lucy?

I believe the value will be found in higher level assignments. Instead of front-end dev the value will be full stack, instead of cloud support there will be more cloud architects etc..

Man, the Anne-Marie answers were the best. I love it.

Thank you for the first person too much valuable information.

Im 29 years old and i have a question to ask. Should i jump on IT study that will take me 3 years or is it not work it? The scary part is how AI will develop in those 3 years. I dont want to sit on a useless degree by then!

In 10-15 years AI and automation will replace at least 20-25% of people, no matter what kind of job. Those learning right now will face hard times in the future if the AI won't be managed in the right ways, especially if society won't propose alternatives.

I am into welding technology and each robot will need a technician and individual to operate it.

Interesting interview.

Such a creative idea Lucy!

ALX brought me here and I love your videos😍

Hi, Lucy, great job.

Great video, a wide variety of people opinions

Good one Lucy. Thank ✨🤟🍷🤟✨

*Wonderful content!*

The first guy gave the best responses

Thank you very much Lucy!

ohhhh thanks, this made me calm.

It's scary how easily insiders look at the arrival of AI and how short their future horizon is, instead of seeing the future of their jobs at least a few steps ahead... They are obviously overwhelmed with their specific daily job tasks to be able to unencumbered and fully grasp the force of the changes that lie ahead. It takes someone like Geoffrey Hinton to paint a true picture of the future...

The tech folks are underestimating the power of a system which as it own mind and decides it own algorithms , eventually it will mimic human capabilities once it out on its own and then we might just watch unexpected outcomes either we agree or not...

As I kid i think that you should make your self good at learning new and hard stuff faster so whenever a high paying work gets automated then because you are smart enough and learn work of any high paying job faster than you will probably never getting into any problems and can life a good decent life

I like David's perspective

Great video

I think instead of having the thought process of “oh no, AI will take my job” its more beneficial to think “I wonder what kind of Jobs integrating AI will create for someone with my skills and how will I adapt my expertise to the situation”.. we knew this was going to happen and we already see it happening faster than anyone expected.. its fair to assume that if you are worried about your Job getting taken by AI, that means its time to start adapting your skillset and finding your place in this coming workscape.

Hey Lucy!! Do you need to be from computer science background to get into AWS? i am from commerce background but I am currently working as mis executive in network domain. Please suggest

Awesome content lucy!

Honestly, not many of them actually seem very up to date with current AI capabilities... They were understating a fair bit of it.

who knows what's ai actual means will say no , who don't have any idea only on top will say, yes/maybe

I am testing image creation with stable diffusion but it's crap. it just won't create image I want even with controlnet and bunch of checkpoints and very detailed scripts. It does good job with single person image but if I try to put multiple people on same screen, I get crap result. it still has a long way to go. on the other hand, chatgpt is awesome. it helps my study a lot. it's like having personal tutor who knows things very well.

AI makes certain parts of my work get done faster and with my own icing on the cake I get quite a lot done at a level I'd be able to do anyway, but certain areas I'm able to complete much faster and it opens a more creative bubble for me.... But ..... depending on various factors and where it can go... it probably will replace some parts quite soon (2 years) but the rest is safe... ish... for a while.... but we can't predict its speed of learning and how that makes changes too

I think ai replacing everything can also be dangerous because people often feel a sense of usefulness and joy when doing their jobs but if no one has a job then more people will be depressed and no one will have the money to buy anything, making all these corporations go bankrupt. In the long run, all these people that advocate for ai replacing everything will end up regretting it later on

Depends how fast it will evolve. In that paste in 10 years junior jobs could be replaced.

When you work for a very large software company (especially DoD) there's no way they'd let code out the door without it being code reviewed by an engineer. Even if you generate code using AI, you'll need an engineer to review it and remediate any security issues.

AI will only create frustrations among the business leaders or can't help as human mind can help and develop thing for better business.... cause every industry is working with some emotions of their products, services, and clients feedback so this human can better feel understand and grow..............😊

A lot of people seem to be talking about prompt engineering, as if that would be the new thing. I don't think prompt engineering is a thing. I think the AI will give you the answers it can give you, regardless of how well you structure your prompt. As someone who has spent days trying to get a simple POST request working, this will not replace programmers. Developers will be out of jobs in the short term, but that's because companies are dumb and short-sighted, and don't think about anything beyond profits. Coders going from spending days implementing code, to spending days fixing generated code, sounds awful. Code that the company will likely be charged per token for, so not getting it right in a few attempts will add up (no more having developers work on code over the weekend for free, you're still paying something), and the attempts needed will increase as it gets more complex. The companies that adopt this will have some sweet quarters at first, thinking they've struck gold. The lucky ones will run into problems quickly. The unlucky ones will use this for decades to come, because along with other reasons, they invested heavily into this, and can't easily undo it. They will have decades of boilerplate built upon decades of boilerplate. They hire so infrequently that they are no longer being discussed in developer circles. And now so few qualified people apply to them that even their senior developers have no clue how the code works. One day they have an error in the code. No biggie. They know what to do. And they past the error into their proprietary ChatGPT tool, and sure enough, it gives them some code to fix the error, and maybe even tells them where to paste it, so they don't have to think about what to do at all. They paste it, but this time it does something different. It doesn't fix the issue. They talk to the tool, saying the issue is still there. The tool apologizes, and give some different code that breaks it in another way. They give it this new error, and get more code back that doesn't fix the issue. At that moment, the business is dead. There is nothing it can do to save itself. It's already too late. It will not happen instantly. It will be a slow death over months, maybe even years, as core features start to become inconsistent and non-functional. The business will try to hire developers to look at the code, but it can take years to understand enterprise code in its entirety. This business won't last that long.

Preparing for engineering entrance exam and now confused/scared😢

Adopt and adapt just use whatever we can to do the best we can.

Everything new will create more jobs. Whatever it may be, computers, medicines, material science or spaceships, specialist are still needed.

It would be interesting to revisit this video in the next 2 years to see if any of these people were right or wrong. The internet never forgets.

Thanks Lucy!

Awesome video 👌👍!

A worthy one Lucy, keep going.
