Dear MEL Topic Readers,
AI can threaten your personal identity – but it doesn't have to
This is not really the first time that humans are threatened by technology. Manpower and horsepower were both switched to machine power like the steam engine in the 18th century. Manual labor like putting parts together in an assembly line was replaced by machines. Also, skilled jobs like painting and sewing were taken over by robots and automation. Even tasks that require intelligence, such as calculations and forecasting have been done by computers. Now because of the rise of AI, especially generative artificial intelligence, people who believe they do skilled, intelligent, and creative jobs feel threatened. Indeed, education, skill training, and experience have been thought to offer higher value in the workplace. But it seems that those intelligent and creative workers need to move further ahead to learn to use and work with AI. As AI keeps improving and becoming more common in workplaces, people also need to improve themselves to keep up with AI and other arising technologies.
Enjoy reading the article and learning about how workers should deal with the world with AI.
