Reduce the hours you are on social media and learn the Artificial Intelligence (AI). This is what the Aravind Srinivas, CEO of Perplexity AI has to say to the youngsters. The person who does not adopt AI now might be at the risk of not having a job in the future, Mr Srinivas informed tech YouTuber Matthew Berman.
He said: “Don’t so much as doomscroll on Instagram, but use the AIs.” As he mentioned, speaking AI tools would soon be a major indicator of employment. Individuals who actually are on the forefront of utilization of AIs [systems] will be much more employable in comparison to those who are not. That will certainly take place,” he answered.
He also recognized that rate of change in technology is also one big challenge. Considering that the AI tools are advancing within the period of three to six months, Mr Srinivas claimed that the employees will come under increasing pressure to upskill and maintain their performance at a stable level.
The human race is not particularly quick to adapt he told me adding that the recent trends were rather pushing the flexibility envelope in how quickly or not they could adapt.
Although admitting that automation will mean that certain jobs will be lost, Mr Srinivas feels that new opportunities can and will be created through entrepreneurship. The other people, who lose jobs, either will start companies of their own and utilize AIs or end up learning AIs and join new companies, he explained.
Previously, Dario Amodei, the CEO of Anthropic, had stated that 50 per cent of blue-collar white-collar work might be taken away in the course of five years by AI. Geoffrey Hinton, another pioneering research on artificial intelligence cautioned that artificial intelligence would be threatening to dethrone humans in their mundane intellectual labour.
Jensen Huang, the CEO of Nvidia, has also implied that AI will support and complement but not replace jobs, forthcoming changes in their nature: this will change the work done instead of getting rid of it.
Other experts such as Mr Srinivas feel that recruiter functions would shortly be given to AI tools such as Perplexity Comet. As he had addressed The Verge in a Decoder podcast previously, one such prompt he had indicated was the sourcing and reach outs single-handedly held that much value to a recruiter that he/she would take one week to do that task. Then there is state tracking to be done.”
He said, “You want it to continue making follow-ups, keep track of their replies… update the Google Sheets, write the status of a replied or in progress… sync to my calendar in Google… set up a chat, and then remind me a brief before the meeting. Part of these things ought to be proactive. It needs not even be prompt.”
Presently, Comet is restricted to paid accounts though it is also rolling out invitations to free accounts.
