Muslims should beware the next threat - the Artificial Intelligence revolution – 5Pillars
Blogger Najm Al-Din warns Muslims about the dangers of the Artificial Intelligence revolution which risks making Muslims, like the rest of humanity, slaves to technology and algorithms. In the past month, I have noticed many social media posts about the remarkable accuracy and detail in which ChatGPT – a human-like AI chatbot – can help users with various tasks such as writing articles, drafting academic papers and answering pretty much any trivia question which comes to mind. But my sincere advice to all of us enamoured by this undoubtedly powerful language processing model is to stop feeding the algorithm. It's important that we interpret the evolution of AI in light of the World Economic Forum's "Great Reset" agenda, for which the Davos elites are eagerly preparing mankind. A clarion call of the WEF for some years, The Great Reset refers to the radical restructuring of the globe's social, economic and political systems, which is expected to usher in an era of equitable growth, prosperity and sustainability for the planet. The WEF's website outlines the ambitious initiative in the most sanguine fashion, promising a future where new patterns of consumption, overhauls to infrastructure and major transformations to existing geopolitical relations will upend the way humans live, work and trade.

Back in 90's internet was in nacent age people who knew internet was going to revolutionize the world are the richest persons today.We still have not achieved complete AI but its pretty sure with the amount of data that is being generated today AI is surely key factor in the next decade. From start-ups to multinational giants, everyone is moving towards AI-based solutions and you know what that means JOBS JOBS and JOBS! Most white collar jobs will have a good percentage of tasks being taken care by AI models making it necessary for even the non-techies to understand this technology even if, at the most basic level. Today, just by speaking, you can order food, book a cab, make a call, and a lot more .
Artificial intelligence expected to have a big impact on white collar jobs
Better educated, better paid white collar workers will be the most affected by artificial intelligence (AI), according to a newly released report by the Brookings Institution. The report goes against previous findings of Brookings' and other research that shows less educated and lower-wage workers will be most impacted by robots. Stanford University researcher Michael Webb's approach was to take the text of patents to identify the capabilities of AI, and then quantify the extent to which each occupation involves these technologies. Webb used natural language processing to quantify the overlap between patent texts and job description text and came up with an exposure score for each job. Out of the 769 occupational descriptions Webb analyzed, 740 "contain a capability pair match with AI patent language, meaning at least one or more of its tasks could potentially be exposed to, complemented by, or completed by AI,'' the report noted. "Importantly, this does not mean such tasks will be ...

When artificial intelligence comes for white collar jobs, will people revolt?
Advances in computer technology are one of many factors that have led to the decline of certain types of jobs. To some extent, technology has always played a role in changing how people work and live: think of the internal combustion engine or factory mechanization. But today's guest on The Next Idea wonders if advances in artificial intelligence could be a tipping point into societal unrest, even revolt, because of loss of jobs. Kentaro Toyama, the W.K. Kellogg Associate Professor of Community Information at the University of Michigan School of Information, joined The Next Idea to discuss the future of artificial intelligence and his recent article in The Conversation. Listen below for the entire conversation.

Making the positive case for artificial intelligence - CBR
In part, the critics of AI are driven by the knowledge that'white collar jobs' are the ones that are now under threat. Business leaders are frequently confronted by notions of job-killing automation and headlines on the variation of the theme that "Robots Will Steal Our Jobs." Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, Silicon Valley figurehead, and champion of technology-driven innovation even goes a step further by suggesting AI is a fundamental threat to human civilisation. In part, the critics of AI are driven by the knowledge that'white collar jobs' are the ones that are now under threat. The robot on the assembly line is now a familiar image.
Millennials: Studies Say Your Work Future Is Not Looking Too Bright
Millennials now make up the largest generation in the U.S. workforce, outnumbering employees from the Generation X and baby boomer generations. And with the Artificial Intelligence (AI) revolution coming into full swing, the "future of work" is looking gloomy for Millennials. In Carl Frey and Michael Osborne's "The Future of Employment: How Susceptible Are Jobs to Computerisation? study, they analyzed the number of jobs at risk to technology, and according to their estimates, about 47 percent of total U.S. employment is in the high-risk category of being replaced by automation such as that produced by robots. A McKinsey & Company report states that "half of today's work activities could be automated by 2055, but this could happen up to 20 years earlier or later depending on various factors, in addition to other economic conditions." The report says they are most prevalent in manufacturing, accommodation and food service, and retail trade, and include some middle-skill jobs. So what generation is most at risk? Gallup conducted their own research using Frey and Osborne's calculations, determining each generation's susceptibility to losing jobs to AI. According to Gallup's analysis, "millennials are the generation most vulnerable to the threat of AI and automation, as they are disproportionately more likely to hold positions that Frey and Osborne estimate as having a strong likelihood to one day be replaced by this new technology." Should millennials start panicking now? Well, that depends on your current occupation. Nearly four in 10 millennials (37 percent) are at high risk of having their job replaced by automation, compared with 32 percent of those in the two older generations, stated the Gallup report. Career analysts say that the work millennials do early in their careers are easier to replace because they haven't accumulated the job skills of older, more experienced workers who do more complex work requiring problem solving. In other words, at the risk of offending millennials, the work many of them do are simple enough for AI or automation to take over. But really, no millennials -- whatever their jobs -- are safe from AI. Jason Dorsey, Chief Strategy Officer at The Center for Generational Kinetics, and a millennials expert, tells Forbes, "[T]he jobs at risk of being replaced by AI are not just the entry-level jobs that people typically assume, but rather the repetitive white collar jobs such as in accounting and financial services.

Artificial Intelligence Replacing Management at World's Largest Hedge Fund
Various estimates suggest the American employment mill could shrink by 30% by the year 2025. The United Nations' assessment is even grimmer. They project two-thirds of the human workforce will be replaced in the next decade. Usually, the major sectors included in these loss reports are manufacturing, retail, and blue collar jobs. However, a new analysis suggests white collar jobs are not immune, and now the world's largest hedge fund is replacing its managers with artificial intelligence. The firm Bridgewater Associates, which manages $160 billion worth of assets, tasked a team of its engineers with creating AI software that can automate decision-making and eliminate emotion from financial analysis.
The Coming Robopocalypse of Knowledge Jobs • InsNerds.com
Back in 1994, Tony was learning to play chess under the tutelage of long-time Costa Rican National Champion Bernal Gonzalez. While the chess training didn't stick, he very clearly remembers a conversation where the teacher explained that the world's best chess playing computer wasn't quite strong enough to be among the top 100 players in the world. Technology can advance exponentially, and just 3 years later in 1997, World Champion Garry Kasparov was defeated by IBM's chess playing supercomputer Deep Blue. But chess is a game of logic where all potential moves are sharply defined and a powerful enough computer can simulate many moves ahead. Things got much more interesting in 2011, when IBM's Jeopardy playing computer Watson defeated Ken Jennings who held the record of winning 74 Jeopardy matches in a row.
