"Some creative jobs maybe will go away, but maybe they shouldn't have been there in the first place" That's what Albania-born OpenAl CTO Mira Murati said when asked about the potential for Al-driven job displacement.
Murati made these statements in a recent interview at her alma mater, Dartmouth College. She discussed the future of Al and its potential impact on society.
During the interview, Mira was asked about the potential for Al-driven job displacement.
In response, she said that some creative jobs will go away as they shouldn't have been there in the first place.
She didn't specifically name the creative jobs, but the comment was made amid a discussion about the entertainment industry, which has seen massive backlash from workers.
Namely, screenwriters and actors went on strike in 2023 over the use of Al in Hollywood.
Needless to say, the prospect of Al automating tasks traditionally performed by humans, particularly within creative fields, has raised concerns about job security and the future of work.
In fact, a Wall Street Journal report stated that since the arrival of ChatGPT and similar platforms, the number of freelance jobs posted on Upwork, Fiverr, and related platforms have dropped by as much as 21%.
Mira, while emphasizing the collaborative nature of Al tools like ChatGPT and DALL-E, suggested that these technologies, rather than replacing human creativity, actually serve to enhance and expand it, providing new avenues for artistic expression and problem-solving.
"It's a tool, right?" she remarked, "It certainly can do that as a tool, and I expect that we will actually we will collaborate with it and it's going to make our creativity expand."
