You would have to be “very skilled” to have an AI-proof job, Geoffrey Hinton, the so-called “Godfather of AI,” has said.
“For mundane intellectual labor, AI is just going to replace everybody,” Hinton told the “Diary of a CEO” podcast in June. He flagged paralegals as at risk, and said he’d be “terrified” if he worked in a call center.
Hinton said that, eventually, the technology would “get to be better than us at everything,” but said some fields were safer, and that it would be, “a long time before it’s as good at physical manipulation.
“So a good bet would be to be a plumber,” he added.
