The stronger the AI, the more serious unemployment will be. Recently, many people have given me feedback on the problem of unemployment. Let’s talk briefly today. To put it bluntly, as AI capabilities become stronger, the impact on job losses will be more severe in the short term. In fact, I mentioned this point of view in a live broadcast a few months ago, but many people didn't care or pay attention to it at the time. In fact, it has happened now. The reason is simple. The overall global economic environment is not good, and as AI becomes stronger, more and more companies will gradually realize that the same job does not require so many people at all. For most companies, reducing the number of positions by half may not have any impact on the company's operations and business. Although it sounds ugly, it is the cruel fact. Originally, according to the law of economic cycle development, it would be gradual, but the speed of AI development and evolution has accelerated the pace of change in this process. Therefore, in the short term, the impact on job demand will be very large. Don’t ask me how long the short term is, whether it is half a year, one year, or two years. No one knows and no one can predict it. AI will definitely create new production relations, new jobs and output in the future, but it’s not there yet. At least at the current stage, AI is mainly used to improve productivity, and it is also happening, and efficiency improvement is also accompanied by the improvement of AI capabilities. Nowadays, AI is actually very powerful, so naturally more and more companies realize that their business does not require so many people at all. How to deal with it? I don’t know, I can’t help you solve your work problems in the short term. I can only say that more and more companies will soon be aware of this matter, and the awakening of awareness will also be gradual. If you want to give some suggestions, my suggestions are as follows: 1. For individuals, they should accumulate their own underlying AI capabilities and face the future. 2. Take risk response measures well. If you are really unemployed, at least your basic life will be guaranteed and you will reduce high consumption. 3. Abandon the proud industry experience and abilities you relied on in the past, fully embrace the new way of working in the AI era, and try to make yourself a multi-dimensional all-round talent. This is the basic requirement for future AI talents. 4. For enterprises, reducing costs and increasing efficiency is the biggest problem you have to face at the moment. Complete AI reshaping workflow and business as soon as possible. It doesn’t matter if many people don’t feel it and don’t have risk awareness. This is for the future. It takes time for industry consciousness to awaken and for companies to reshape their workflows. No matter in any era, it is impossible for everyone and all industries to have relevant capabilities. This may be the best news for us. Within this time gap, what you decide to do and the extent to which you can achieve it depends on everyone's specific actions. The above is my personal opinion, shared with you. via Nuggets Artificial Intelligence is the most popular this month
