there's no demand for humans no demand

0:02

but there's lots of Supply in terms of

0:03

maybe let's kill everyone I mean

0:05

seriously I don't know I think it's

0:07

scary because now you're talking to me

0:09

you

0:12

oh wow you're gonna philosophical should

0:14

we actually right now like you guys be

0:17

learning how to like program these

0:18

things we both love programs yeah oh

0:21

really yeah and you're the right Minds

0:23

for the job though probably there's a

0:25

research that I read somewhere that's by

0:27

2030 20 million jobs would be

0:30

um

0:31

uh would be gone because of AI a lot of

0:33

people just go full off-grid and you

0:36

know tin foil hats and Into the

0:39

Wilderness yeah like you know

0:42

I think there'll be a quite a

0:43

significant divide in that

0:46

hi uh welcome to easy English today I

0:49

want to know people's thoughts and fears

0:51

on the world of artificial intelligence

0:55

I don't know if and what types of

0:57

artificial intelligence brightonias are

0:59

using today and if they have any worries

1:01

about artificial intelligence taking

1:03

their jobs

1:04

here we go what is your opinion on

1:07

artificial intelligence like good or bad

1:09

I think it's not good but it's not bad

1:12

either either because

1:14

um uh I think it could help a lot of

1:18

people out especially the elderly people

1:20

so generally I think that AI could help

1:22

us to improve the magical industry in a

1:25

way that it can help us to diagnose

1:27

people more quickly what are your

1:29

thoughts uh on artificial intelligence

1:32

um don't like it not a big fan

1:34

whatsoever my immediate thought is like

1:36

it really scares me because I feel like

1:38

it's taking us further and further away

1:41

from each other as humans what do you

1:43

mean by keeping older people company

1:46

well you've got these robots yeah and

1:49

there's a shortage of uh nurses and are

1:53

you a nurse I'm not a nurse I let her

1:55

work in a laboratory okay yeah and but I

2:06

people think that AI is out here to get

2:09

us yeah however it is actually I feel

2:11

like it's here to also improve our lives

2:13

let let us humans do the less mundane

2:17

jobs and let's do the most exciting jobs

2:19

that we perceive to do the the fact that

2:21

people people can't access knowledge

2:23

quicker using AI tools that's I think

2:27

positive and it's making knowledge more

2:29

accessible or like complex

2:32

um because they're more accessible to

2:33

the greater public so that's good

2:35

they're like jobs that

2:37

um that will be taken away from us and

2:40

it's going to be taken over by computers

2:42

and that's like a big disadvantage

2:43

because then we won't we'll be jobless

2:45

essentially

2:47

um on the other side I can see how

2:50

interesting it can be and how it can

2:52

actually allow education to reach people

2:55

who wouldn't normally able to be able to

2:57

access it there's a research that I read

3:00

somewhere that by 2030 20 million jobs

3:03

would be um

3:04

uh will be gone because of AI and then

3:07

people need to be reskilling upskilled

3:08

so I would say probably that's a

3:10

downside and you need to be careful it's

3:12

not I wouldn't say it's necessarily A

3:13

downside it's just it's something that

3:15

we need to be careful about

3:16

um and then um as a society we need to

3:18

be prepared for do you use any

3:21

artificial intelligence in your life you

3:22

think

3:24

um not intentionally I mean like it's a

3:26

good answer I mean it's around us and

3:29

stuff so it's kind of hard to avoid yeah

3:31

I mean like my housemate has Alexa if

3:34

that counts as AI so do you knowingly or

3:38

maybe unknowingly use it AI in certain

3:41

ways like day to day or for a while I

3:43

don't know it'll be unknowingly unknown

3:44

yeah probably my complete ignorance

3:53

I tried chat gbt like I think everyone

3:55

else for like a basic task like making

3:58

like grocery lists and stuff which was

4:00

very useful if you're looking to improve

4:02

your speaking or listening English

4:03

skills then you could consider becoming

4:34

English online Pub for our new

4:37

conversation membership now back to the

4:39

episode you guys have jobs no so I have

4:42

a part-time job but in customer service

4:44

okay and uh how do you feel are you

4:48

worried uh do you use AI in that service

4:50

at all

4:51

um not particularly I'm more on the side

4:55

of I answered phone calls and I get to

4:57

and then I make small talk with a guests

4:59

sometimes I take orders so I feel like

5:02

death that's less at risk yeah just

5:05

because of the fact that it involves

5:07

human communication in the way that we

5:08

just talk to people in everyday life I

5:11

feel like if AI were to replace the job

5:14

it wouldn't be as

5:17

it would be as good as today because the

5:21

way in which AI Works they're not able

5:23

to connect with human on other levels

5:25

yeah that they can just connect with

5:26

each other I'm also a fashion model so

5:29

there's a lot of things coming out now

5:32

um I can't remember which company it was

5:33

was it Levi's I don't want to misquote

5:35

there's a company that created AI models

5:39

to do the e-common which is like the

5:42

kind of to show their clothes on so it

5:45

has started already and there's a

5:47

massive concern that companies are just

5:49

going to say well actually we just need

5:51

one person to come in and create these

5:54

bodies to whatever we want them to look

5:56

like and be and then you know real Flesh

6:00

and Blood becomes obsolete

6:03

hey I could potentially ever come and

6:04

take your job uh well I mean I work in

6:07

the hospitality industry so I mean

6:10

cooking food is still going to need to

6:12

be done by people but but there are

6:15

certain elements to it obviously it's

6:16

already kind of taken a holds in a way

6:19

but I don't know I wouldn't say that

6:22

like I'm fearful for my job per se but

6:25

I'm sure there's plenty of people who

6:27

you know like artists and stuff where

6:30

they had like the AI

6:31

photography and stuff that's uh yeah

6:35

pretty dumb

6:37

absolutely and I also think it's really

6:40

scary because again we're putting the

6:42

power

6:44

into the hands of one or two people

6:45

we've already got a lot of issues with

6:48

fashion anyway with modeling with you

6:50

know body size and what people are

6:52

supposed to look like at particular ages

6:54

and what we're supposed to Aspire to so

6:55

then what's going to happen when we

6:57

start doing that with AI as well oh wow

6:59

it's fascinating I never considered that

7:01

industry being so heavily affected your

7:04

job do you have worries that maybe you

7:07

would be replaced is it a bit dramatized

7:09

not necessarily replaced but I feel like

7:11

you just have to have to continuously

7:13

develop yourself in the job and that

7:15

like I think AI pushes you to do that

7:17

um to get new skills and I think soft

7:18

skills are still very important how does

7:21

fashion adapt how do you adapt to this

7:22

because it's it's inevitable right

7:25

um I don't know I don't know because I

7:27

don't know because I do also think we're

7:29

all human and I think we're always going

7:31

to want to have a hope human connections

7:33

and you'll have that spidey sense when

7:35

something feels a bit off yeah so maybe

7:37

there'll be a you know maybe there'll be

7:39

either a shift of some people that are

7:41

in the real body Camp the tin foil hat

7:44

people and then the other ones who like

7:46

no I want it all plastic stick I think

7:48

people will always find a way to adjust

7:50

I mean like people just find

7:52

you know different sectors because you

7:54

know there's always going to be

7:54

maintenance and you know

7:57

um you know creating the technology and

8:00

stuff like that so if people want to go

8:02

forward with that they can but or a lot

8:04

of people will just go full off grid and

8:07

you know tin foil hats

8:10

yeah like you know I think there'll be a

8:14

quite a significant divide in that sense

8:16

there could be robots instead yeah okay

8:20

instead of people they come to your bed

8:23

and say hey Mrs I'm here and then

8:27

it could be robot vampires yeah robots

8:30

would be a very great band name though

8:33

the road with vampires that's a great

8:36

one I remember that for my brother yeah

8:38

for oh do you play an event not yet by

8:40

all now yeah okay passed out with a name

8:43

and figure out the music afterwards

8:45

what do we do in order we've got all

8:48

these people it's the job the demand for

8:51

jobs will be super hard but the actual

8:53

supply of jobs will be super low how

8:56

would you cope with this like in a from

8:58

like a cultural philosophical answer

9:01

do we all like Universal income was like

9:04

a suggestion that we all just earn a

9:05

certain amount now because

9:07

we're kind of useless I guess but they

9:10

can also like

9:11

um like robots would do like some parts

9:13

of the job but of course like there

9:15

won't be like So Many Robots to fill in

9:17

like all of them right right so there's

9:19

so certainly some people yeah but some

9:21

people be jobless and so the government

9:23

could like find a scheme and give them

9:25

some money or something

9:27

I lived in America for 20 years and he

9:29

had it here as well a lot of you know

9:30

and with industry but

9:33

moved away to cheaper to areas or

9:37

countries that were cheaper and those

9:39

people still haven't got jobs they're in

9:41

an extreme poverty and nothing's been

9:43

done to support them or to help so I I

9:45

actually can't really imagine

9:47

anyone doing anything to try and

9:49

counteract it you just have to look at

9:51

what's going on now

9:52

and when when you read this up school

9:54

and up oh God I'm sorry risko and okay

9:57

and uh what does that mean do you think

10:00

it means um sort of like supporting

10:02

people uh and acquiring new skills that

10:04

will be useful in the future

10:07

um and um like also helping them learn

10:10

about the how to use AI tools for the

10:13

benefit of society yeah as a

10:15

complimentary tool yeah thanks for

10:18

watching this week's episode let us know

10:20

in the comments below what you think

10:21

about artificial intelligence and how it

10:23

could affect your life in the future and

10:26

as always we'll see you next time

10:34

thank you

10:36
