Is AI About To Bite Us? Debunking The Three Fears About AI.

from The Josh Bersin Company · host Josh Bersin

This week I met with dozens of HR leaders in Europe and there were many discussions about the risks of AI. AI is going to take all our jobs away. AI is going to get out of control and ruin our lives. AI is going to become smarter than humans and overtake us. AI is going to make us all more stupid because we won’t have to think. In this podcast I debunk these fears and try to explain what you can do to calm your fears. Yes AI is new and somewhat unpredictable, but if we treat it well (as a society, as users, and as builders) none of these fears will come to bite us.
