Most people are wary of the development of artificial intelligence and robotics because they are afraid for their jobs and do not want to be left "out of the way" of life.
This week, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella spoke at the MIT AI and Work of the Future Forum and shared his vision of the future.
According to Satya Nadella, the introduction of technology will make it easier for people to work and make it more productive, which obviously should also raise wages.
Research shows that automation of labor and replacement of workers with robots will not lead to a crisis, but the need to create new jobs will remain relevant. As a confirmation of his words, he cited the following information: in 1940, 63% of the professions that exist in 2019 did not exist. This suggests that with the development of technology, new professions appear.
Do you need specific knowledge to master new professions and where to get it? The head of Microsoft replied that it is not necessary to have such knowledge and leaps in distance learning can bridge the gaps both in knowledge and in territorial boundaries, which is a huge plus in a global pandemic.
The head of Microsoft does not believe in the theory of general artificial intelligence capable of taking over the world and taking out a person, but noted about possible breakthroughs in this area in the near future.
The main task for all developers of artificial intelligence is to comply with certain principles of work, namely, responsibility for the developed technology and compliance with ethical principles.
Worldwide availability of technology will reduce class inequalities. "We can talk about technological breakthroughs if they are available even in rural areas and people know how to take advantage of them." - said Satya Nadella, adding about the paramount importance of the availability of education and various trainings for advanced training, which will create new jobs and opportunities for work.
Also, the head of Microsoft, Satya Nadella, said that by exempting corporations from paying taxes on research and development, the process of transition to a technological and remote level of work, which Covid-19 has accelerated this year, will accelerate. Noticing that corporations spend huge amounts of money on training and professional development of their employees.
So what will the future be like? In the next 10 years, computer power and computer technologies will increase manifold and integrate as much as possible into the life of every person, which will contribute to global economic growth and stability.
