    CEOS SAY GENERATIVE AI WILL RESULT IN JOB CUTS IN 2024 (2 MINUTE READ) [11]

    A quarter of global CEOs expect that generative AI will lead to a
    headcount reduction of at least 5% this year. Media and entertainment,
    banking, insurance, and logistics are the industries most likely to be
    affected by job losses due to cutting-edge AI tools. Engineering,
    construction, and technology firms are least likely to anticipate cuts
    because of automation. With AI, executives are most worried about the cybersecurity risks and the spread of disinformation.

    In general, the biggest risks of AI is blindly trusting their output.

    I can see a doctor, for example, using an AI to figure out a patient's condition from the symptoms and other factors. But I would expect the doctor to do a reality check on that diagnosis and verify it instead of just accepting what the AI says.


    ... You have to be sharp to be on the cutting edge.
