What is your opinion? I mean, how this AI will impact, let's say, moving forward?
I have to say I'm more worried than relaxed about it. I am leaning towards being more worried about the impact on societies in particular, because the speed of change is unprecedented. I think this time AI is not necessarily replacing blue-collar people, but it's beginning to replace white-collar people, including people who developed software. And unemployment levels could rise drastically in the coming 5, 10, 15 years because of AI. Then the question is, What are these people going to do? Will then there be more politicians showing up and selling far-left, far-right populist ideas as a solution, which could lead to social unrest, political unrest, authoritarianism, etc.? Think about my 3 girls. What are they going to do in the future if AI replaces any profession that they choose?
