AI Disruption in the Job Market: Hits 90% of Workers, Voice Cloning Risks, Carbon-Neutral Hardware

Business of Tech

AI is expected to significantly disrupt the job market, potentially affecting up to 90% of workers in the next decade, as noted by Professor Eric Posner from the University of Chicago. The increasing prevalence of AI technology raises concerns about the potential displacement of millions of jobs and the necessity for a social safety net to protect workers from long-term unemployment. Posner emphasizes the emotional toll individuals may experience when they are unable to contribute to society due to AI-driven job disruptions.

The podcast episode also brings attention to the ethical concerns and security risks associated with the use of AI in voice cloning. An incident is mentioned where an AI-generated voice message deceived a company into using a BBC presenter's likeness in an ad campaign without her consent, illustrating how AI can be exploited for fraudulent purposes.

Voice cloning technology has become increasingly sophisticated, capable of replicating various aspects of a person's voice. While this technology has commercial applications, it also poses significant security risks, such as potential misuse by cybercriminals to deceive individuals or bypass security systems.
