| 0:00.0 | Last episode, we spoke a little bit about FARML, a neuronet trained on a supercomputer at the cutting edge of molecular science. |
| 0:13.1 | And it's not just science. AI is making waves in all kinds of industries, but despite the incredible results we're able to achieve, |
| 0:22.3 | when it comes to the world of work, there are a lot of misconceptions. |
| 0:28.1 | AI will take my job. AI is a robots. AI and science fiction. The fact that AI is a black |
| 0:34.0 | box. I don't understand what happens inside it. And there's lots of confusion |
| 0:38.4 | about AI and ethics. This week, we looked at AI and the future of work from job displacement |
| 0:45.3 | to educating the next generation to find out where AI can be used to change our jobs for |
| 0:51.6 | the better, how automation and algorithms are affecting employees right now, |
| 0:57.0 | and how long I've got before I get replaced by a text-to-speech program. My goodness. All that and |
| 1:05.2 | much more. I'm Michael Bird, and this is Technology Untangled. |
| 1:29.1 | A recent survey by the European Commission found that 42% of companies already use at least one form of AI, with another 20% planning to adopt it in the next two years. |
| 1:36.6 | Like many people, your first thought might be, is AI going to take my job? |
| 1:42.0 | And it's a fair question. |
| 1:44.0 | After all, technology has been making jobs |
| 1:46.4 | obsolete for centuries. And it's actually what I asked Matt Armstrong Barnes, chief technologist |
| 1:51.0 | of artificial intelligence at Hewlett-Packard Enterprise. Job displacement is happening. The job landscape |
| 1:57.9 | is changing as a result of the fourth industrial revolution. |
| 2:02.3 | Robots are a significant factor in that. Just looking at the AI piece, what we need to think about |
| 2:08.5 | is what's air-great at, classification and regression and doing things at scale. A lot of the |
| 2:14.1 | problems AI is tackling can't be done by human beings anyway. |
| 2:18.7 | Good point. The first thing to note is the separation of AI and robotics. These are actually |
| 2:24.3 | totally different fields. They do overlap in the form of artificially intelligent robots, but |
