What It Says
The AI Index report, published by the Artificial Intelligence (AI) Initiative at the University of California, Berkeley, provides a comprehensive assessment of the global impact of artificial intelligence.
The report highlights the rapid growth and increasing importance of AI across various sectors, including education, healthcare, energy, transportation, and more.
It also emphasizes the need for responsible development and deployment of AI technologies to ensure their benefits are shared equitably.
Our Take
This is exponential growth people. This is so early in the AI-takeover phase. Yes, it is true it will create new jobs. But if it creates new jobs at a 1:10 ratio, for example, that leaves a tremendous number of people trying to figure out how to earn a basic living.
“They” are getting away with it. Send us ideas on how to stop it (without violence, obviously).
