AI will help workers with their jobs, not replace them, tech executives say The artificial intelligence revolution will change the jobs market, but it will have an overwhelmingly positive impact on people and work, according to executives at the CES technology show.
Gary Shapiro, chief executive of the Consumer Technology Association (CTA), which organises CES, told the PA news agency that as AI reshapes industries, jobs and skillsets will also evolve and new opportunities will emerge.
The annual convention in Las Vegas is being dominated by products and services claiming to have AI tools at their centre, but some critics of the technology have raised concerns that its automation capabilities will take away jobs from humans.
There's no doubt that AI is going to transform everything about how we live and work, which means it's going to have a transformational impact on the types of jobs, the types of tasks and the roles that we perform over the next few years.
The positive is that it will take away from humans a lot of jobs that are repetitive and that humans don’t want to do – and it will give us longer and healthier lives.
