DUBAI: The artificial intelligence powered chatbot making waves since its release late last year has a message for humans � I am not here to take your job � but with a number of caveats. For the latest updates, follow us on Instagram @arabnews.lifestyle Some jobs may be replaced by AI, but new ones may be created and existing ones transformed, ChatGPT told Katie Jensen, the host of “Frankly Speaking,” the first time a non human being appeared as a guest on the Arab News’ flagship weekly current affairs talkshow. ChatGPT, a large language model developed by Microsoft backed startup OpenAI, became a viral sensation when it was released in November and kicked off fierce competition among Silicon Valley rivals for monetization of what software engineers call “generative AI.” It lived up to its reputation for producing human like responses during the wide ranging interview, which touched on issues such as job displacement, spread of disinformation, accuracy of its data, political opinions and even the Palestine Israel conflict. Given the rapid pace of technological change now underway, many workers are concerned their professional functions soon will be entirely replaced by machinery, in the same way earlier bouts of automation eliminated farming and manufacturing jobs. Optimists offer the assurance that the threat of job displacement will be offset by a rise in the number of new skilled roles in designing, building and maintaining AI products. Although ChatGPT and similar products are likely to automate certain routine tasks, developers believe large language models are more likely to act as assistants to human workers, streamlining work and handling vast troves of complex data. “There have been several media reports that have analyzed the potential impact of AI language models like me on the job market,” ChatGPT told Jensen, who interviewed the chatbot, represented by a digitally rendered human avatar, in the “Frankly Speaking” studio in Dubai. It continued: “While there is some disagreement among experts about the exact number of jobs that will be impacted, most agree that AI will have a significant impact on the workforce. “Some reports suggest that AI language models could replace jobs in sectors such as customer service, data entry and administrative support. These jobs typically involve routine tasks that can be automated using AI, such as answering simple questions or processing large volumes of data. “However, there are also reports that suggest AI language models could create new job opportunities in fields such as data analysis, natural language processing and machine learning. “These jobs would require a high level of technical expertise and would involve tasks that cannot be easily automated.”
