The founder of “GPT Chat,” an AI-powered chatbot, has voiced concerns that older workers could face job displacement due to a lack of artificial intelligence (AI) skills, according to a report by The Telegraph.
Sam Altman, addressing students at the University of Cambridge, highlighted that younger employees are showing superior performance compared to their more experienced counterparts because they are more comfortable using AI tools in their work.
Altman revealed that many CEOs of major tech companies have observed this trend and anticipate more young leaders driving company achievements.
Statistics from a recent Ofcom study conducted this summer indicate that approximately 58% of individuals aged 16 to 24 have used “GPT Chat,” while only 5% of those aged over 55 have done so. Additionally, 17% of individuals aged 45 to 54 have used the service.
According to the American research center “Bio,” younger employees are likely to find chatbot technology beneficial in the workplace.
Altman also emphasized the need for a global regulatory body for artificial intelligence in the future. He stated that halting AI development would not be feasible, but the advantages of technology mean we should not desire to do so.
The “GPT Chat” program, launched by “Open AI” less than a year ago, has raised concerns about rapid advancements in technology. Altman explained that technology could also lead to a time of human abundance.
“Open AI,” which has received substantial financial support from “Microsoft,” aims to create a universal AI that matches human capabilities.
