Produced By Australian Broadcasting Corporation: How Technology Is Impacting The Labor Force

This documentary produced by Australian Broadcasting Corporation, is an analysis of how technology is impacting the labor force, and how artificial intelligence (AI) is going to affect the future of humans. The film is a combination of interviews to specialist in AI, professionals of different work sectors, and students or future generations of that sectors. The result is a very rich combination of different point of views that allow us to understand better the future of AI. Starting from the basis that AI is already here, and his development is unavoidable, the documentary analyzes the AI that we have now, and how this AI can change the works in driving, legal, financial, university lectures, journalism, statistics, and healthcare fields.

AI will not destroy jobs, it will change jobs. New jobs and new tasks will appear in the horizon without realize it. They refer to the last Industrial Revolution, that was an important inflection point for the world, but the world changed to better, with new jobs, and new opportunities to live better. They point out that now is a little bit different than before because the changes are happening faster than at that time, so we just have to assume it and keep and eye on all the people who can struggle with this changes, that mens people dedicated to control this. Is not this a new job.? Mary Ann Williams, professor of social robotics at the University of Technology of Sidney sustains that if you let AI do the work that people is doing now, as drivers, they can work better in customer care and offer a more quality service to the clients, and have a more prosperous company. Doctors can also spend more time with patients and patients can have a high quality service too. And same with other jobs. She says that the jobs of the future will elaborate data, and “whoever has the data has the power”. I can not be more agree with
