In the 60 Minutes program, an episode was aired about artificial intelligence in China, how AI works, and its impact on life in China and other issues. The episode also mentioned a saying: "Do not fear technology, but fear those who invest behind it." What is the fear that comes from those behind technology?
Do not fear technology, fear those who invest behind it.
The interview conducted with Kai-Fu Lee discussed the current technology that is keeping up with the world and the changes and challenges it brings. The purpose of the interview was to clarify the level of global change. The world changes daily, and it is not technology that poses a threat to humans, but humans themselves. Some people exploit technology for their own interests, and companies also exploit technology for their own benefit, and this is what poses the danger.
Jobs that will disappear in the face of digital transformation
Kai-Fu Lee also said that technology will take away 40% of today’s jobs, including delivery jobs, reception jobs, manufacturing, and many others. He mentioned that these jobs will disappear in no more than thirty years, making it difficult to think about and a threat to workers.
Experts’ lack of concern for the future of humanity and their focus on their own interests
What complicates the matter is that today’s experts are greatly interested in their own interests, not in providing a better future for humanity. The principle is driven by who has a stake in the matter, not the people themselves, so whoever pays gets what they want.
