AI Disruption in the Job Market: Hits 90% of Workers, Voice Cloning Risks, Carbon-Neutral Hardware

AI is expected to significantly disrupt the job market, potentially affecting up to 90% of workers in the next decade, as noted by Professor Eric Posner from the University of Chicago. The increasing prevalence of AI technology raises concerns about the potential displacement of millions of jobs and the necessity for a social safety net to protect workers from long-term unemployment. Posner emphasizes the emotional toll individuals may experience when they are unable to contribute to society due to AI-driven job disruptions.The podcast episode also brings attention to the ethical concerns and security risks associated with the use of AI in voice cloning. An incident is mentioned where an AI-generated voice message deceived a company into using a BBC presenter's likeness in an ad campaign without her consent, illustrating how AI can be exploited for fraudulent purposes.Voice cloning technology has become increasingly sophisticated, capable of replicating various aspects of a person's voice. While this technology has commercial applications, it also poses significant security risks, such as potential misuse by cybercriminals to deceive individuals or bypass security systems.Three things to know today00:00 AI Set to Disrupt Job Market, Impacting 90% of Workers Within a Decade, Says UChicago Professor03:17 AI Ethical Dilemmas: Bumble's New Features and the Risks of Voice Cloning in Cybersecurity06:03 Circular Computing Partners with Total IT Global to Offer Carbon-Neutral Hardware as a Service  Supported by:  https://huntress.com/mspradio/  All our Sponsors:   https://businessof.tech/sponsors/     💼 All Our SponsorsSupport the vendors who support the show:👉 https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ 🚀 Join Business of Tech PlusGet exclusive access to investigative reports, vendor analysis, leadership briefings, and more.👉 https://businessof.tech/plus 🎧 Subscribe to the Business of TechWant the show on your favorite podcast app or prefer the written versions of each story?📲 https://www.businessof.tech/subscribe 📰 Story Links & SourcesLooking for the links from today’s stories?Every episode script — with full source links — is posted at:🌐 https://www.businessof.tech 🎙 Want to Be a Guest?Pitch your story or appear on Business of Tech: Daily 10-Minute IT Services Insights:💬 https://www.podmatch.com/hostdetailpreview/businessoftech 🔗 Follow Business of Tech LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/28908079YouTube: https://youtube.com/mspradioBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/businessof.techInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/mspradioTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@businessoftechFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/mspradionews Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
