AI is a hot topic of conversation today, but it actually isn’t new. Mentions of artificial intelligence have been around for thousands of years across folklore in numerous cultures. There are stories of mysterious robot-like creatures controlling islands and starting battles.
Even decades ago, we saw robots and AI in movies and TV shows.
But the AI we’re discussing today is more substantial than those historical mentions. Can you imagine if those storytellers from thousands of years ago saw what we have at our fingertips today?
For years, we’ve created jobs that were perfect for AI–repetitive, mundane tasks that anyone could do. But we didn’t have the technology or bots to back it up, so humans ended up doing those repetitious jobs.
But that’s not the case anymore. Now, we have AI that can do the jobs that were designed for it to begin with. That means humans don’t have to be stuck in boring jobs they don’t want to do.
But what do we do with these changes? It allows us to focus on what makes us human–the human skills of connection, creativity, motivation, and more. These are emotions and skills that can’t be replicated by machines.
So, AI might not be new, but it’s finally at the point where it can take away jobs from humans that humans have only been doing as a placeholder. The technology is here and ready to transform how we work–are we willing to let it?
