The CEO of IBM says A.I. is going to replace ‘clerical white-collar work,’ but it could be ‘a good thing‘ for the looming population crisis (3 minute read)Will machines replace us in the workplace? While A.I.-powered products like ChatGPT and Google’s Bard are gaining popularity, machines are not yet capable of replacing humans. A.I. is still prone to misinformation, and human intervention is often necessary to correct mistakes made by A.I.-powered machines. In fact, tests have shown that humans can outperform A.I. in most cases. However, according to the CEO of IBM, A.I. could soon replace clerical white-collar work, which can be time-consuming and labor-intensive. A.I.’s speed and efficiency means that this type of work will likely be the first to be automated, potentially helping to avoid a looming worldwide labor crisis.
