admin In an interview with ABC News, OpenAI CEO and ChatGPT creator Sam Altman admitted that ChatGPT can ‘eliminate’ many human jobs.
OpenAI recently rolled out the ChatGPT-4 version of the bot. Announcing via a blog post, the company said that the updated chatbot is “more creative and collaborative” than previous versions when it comes to tasks like composing songs or writing screenplays.
Raising concerns about how the AI bot could be used for malicious purposes, he said “I’m particularly worried that these models could be used for large-scale disinformation. Now that they’re getting better at writing computer code, [they] could be used for offensive cyberattacks.”
He goes on to say that ChatGPT is a tool that is ‘very much in human control.’ But he fears which human will control it. “There will be other people who don’t put some of the safety limits that we put on. Society, I think, has a limited amount of time to figure out how to react to that, how to regulate that, how to handle it,” he mentions.
In the interview, Altman admitted that ChatGPT AI bot can replace many jobs. “I think over a couple of generations, humanity has proven that it can adapt wonderfully to major technological shifts. But if this happens in a single-digit number of years, some of these shifts … That is the part I worry about the most,” he said in the interview. “Human creativity is limitless, and we find new jobs. We find new things to do,” he added.
“We’ve got to be careful here,” said Altman. “I think people should be happy that we are a little bit scared of this,” he admitted.
