There has been a joke going around my community that goes something like this: “OMG, AI is taking our jobs. All users will need to be able to do is describe what they want an app to do, and AIs will do the work without us!” The response is, “No worries. When has a user ever been able to describe what they want?”

Twenty years ago, NVIDIA and Microsoft were nowhere with AI, while IBM’s Watson was winning Jeopardy! and later taking on professional debaters. Conventional knowledge was that IBM was going to own AI, but no one seemed to care since projections at the time indicated that AI wouldn’t take off until sometime around 2040 when general-purpose AI was expected to become viable.

One of the key issues that were discussed by several panels at SXSW was centered on consumer exploitation regarding predatory surveillance and data mining business practices employed by tech giants who monopolize the development of leaky operating systems, intrusive apps/social media platforms, and centralized generative AI (ChatGPT & BARD).

Surveillance capitalism is predatory data mining typically via addictive and harmful sites and applications with social validation feedback loops/intermittent variable rewards along with manipulative targeted advertising based on one’s personal identity and gathered preferences.

There are a lot of areas where AI can be focused and make a difference, including employee productivity, marketing, sales, customer support, manufacturing, medicine, aeronautics, robotics, and governance. But one of the most interesting is logistics. During the Covid pandemic, we saw that everything we buy and consume depends on logistics. If we don’t have access to the materials and technologies we need to build products or deliver food, everything shuts down.

Much of the discussion about generative AI and the future of work focuses on the potential for AI to displace workers. Often vague references suggest that AI will create new jobs as did all the automation of the past.
