on imported oil and gas. now on bbc news talking business with aaron heslehurst. hello, everybody. a very warm welcome to talking business weekly with me, aaron heslehurst. let s go and take a look at what s on the show. the future it s already here, but is it coming for yourjob? i did laugh off the idea of ai replacing writers or affecting myjob. until it did. i realised by myself that i had lost my job, you know, because i saw this video uploaded without my voice. it s been predicted that ai will change the world of work, trashing millions ofjobs while creating new ones. well today, that change is already happening. these two have already felt it. dean meadowcroft lost his work as a copywriter after his company started using chat gpt and alejandro graue, a voice artist whose voice was replaced by a computer. plus jessica apotheker at the boston consulting group has been taking the temperature of the global workforce, interviewing thousands of workers and bosses about ho
so far i think it has increased our workforce because more and more of our products can be generated with consumer impact and also professional products for example for the automotive industry. you see a trend for making cars safer with complex diagnostic and assistance tools this is where we talk about automated driving or assisted driving. lots of that is based on al and that has induced a huge wave of new sensors and computers to be placed into cars. so i would say for bosch it is a positive technology because it increases our workforce. i m wondering what kind of skills are people going to need to work in a world alongside or with al? it is always good to have ai experts and these experts are mathematicians, these are data specialists, scientists working out ai tools. the people applying ai will need a good mind, spirit and ideas. that is the most important thing. and definitely talking
so with that lack of familiarity with the tech comes also much more anxiety and concern on the outcomes for them. and jessica, i m just wondering here, is there a rush here to cut costs that companies just may end up regretting? so for sure, new technologies around ai, notably around generative ai are not fully mature yet. they re not fully at scale. even if you think of the cost for a corporation right now, if you want to use a model like chat gpt for corporations, it s a paper use. so there is a very limited scale in corporations in using it today. now, when you see that, you think this cost of this technology in the next cycle will hopefully go down, but you also see that it is not ready for widescale usage. also, we re still figuring out the human element, how to ensure that people are ready to use this in a safe way. think of a marketing corporation
good luck with everything, my friend, and i ll check in with you soon. thank you for your time, aaron. i really appreciate it. you may not recognise my next guest, but if you watch spanish films, his voice may be strangely familiar. he s a voice artist from argentina, best known for acting on animated films, as well as being the spanish voice of actors like jake gyllenhaal and james franco when they dub their films into spanish. but it was while doing a voiceover for some youtube videos that he realised that al was taking work away. alejandro graue, really good to have you with us. and alejandro, let s start with this because you were doing voiceover for a youtube video and then you went on holiday. you went on vacation. what happened then? well, what happened is that the youtube channel that i was recording for uploaded a new video in spanish and i was like, this is weird. i haven t recorded something new in the last couple of weeks, and when i clicked on it, what i heard was not my
2001, and the computers aren tjust learning they re also now so smart, they re starting to take jobs. the change ai promises is massive. while both the industrial revolution and the digital revolution changed the world of work, this could be a transformation which is even greater. that s certainly what us president biden thinks. i don t think ever in the history of human endeavour has there been as fundamental a potential technological change as is presented by artificial intelligence. according to goldman sachs, the equivalent of 300 million jobs could be automated by ai. it says two thirds of all occupations in the united states could be exposed to some degree of artificial intelligence. and of thosejobs, a quarter to a half of the workload could be automated. but the report also points out that historically, jobs that are lost to technology are replaced by others. just very recently, the scandinavian furniture giant ikea said it s
