AI will transform the world of work

 AI will transform the world of work in many ways.

Some of the possible impacts are:


  • AI will automate many tasks that are currently done by humans, such as data entry, customer service, accounting, and more. This will increase productivity, efficiency, and accuracy, but also create challenges for workers who need to reskill or find new jobs.
  • AI will augment human capabilities and enable new forms of collaboration, creativity, and innovation. For example, AI can help workers analyse complex data, generate insights, make decisions, and communicate effectively. AI can also enhance human creativity by providing inspiration, feedback, and suggestions.
  • AI will create new jobs and industries that do not exist today, such as AI engineers, data scientists, ethicists, and trainers. These jobs will require new skills and competencies, such as programming, data literacy, critical thinking, and emotional intelligence.
  • AI will change the nature and structure of work, such as the way work is organised, distributed, rewarded, and evaluated. For example, AI can enable more flexible and remote work arrangements, such as freelancing, gig work, and crowdsourcing. AI can also enable more personalised and adaptive learning and development opportunities for workers.


AI will transform the world of work in profound and unprecedented ways. Therefore, it is important for workers, employers, educators, policymakers, and society at large to prepare for the opportunities and challenges that AI will bring.

The AI Dilemma and "Gollem-Class" AIs

From the Center for Humane Technology Tristan Harris and Aza Raskin discuss how existing A.I. capabilities already pose catastrophic risks to a functional society, how A.I. companies are caught in a race to deploy as quickly as possible without adequate safety measures, and what it would mean to upgrade our institutions to a post-A.I. world. This presentation is from a private gathering in San Francisco on March 9th with leading technologists and decision-makers with the ability to influence the future of large-language model A.I.s. This presentation was given before the launch of GPT-4. One of the more astute critics of the tech industry, Tristan Harris, who has recently given stark evidence to Congress. It is worth watching both of these videos, as the Congress address gives a context of PR industry and it's regular abuses. "If we understand the mechanisms and motives of the group mind, it is now possible to control and regiment the masses according to our will without their...

A Network Analysis Tool to help identify structural gaps

  InfraNodus is a web-based open source tool and method for generating insight from any text or discourse using text network analysis. The byline on the website states, 'Get an overview of any discourse, reveal the blind spots, enhance your perspective.' which, whilst accurate does little to summarise the potential of such a tool. Watching the introduction helps. Its capabilities include representing any text as a network and identifying the most influential words in a discourse based on the terms' co-occurrence, providing text network visualization and analysis live as new data is added, offering discourse structure analysis to measure the level of bias in discourse and identify structural gaps in discourse, and being available via an API to be used in conjunction with other text mining and analysis software. The white paper, ' Generating Insight Using Text Network Analysis ' concludes:  'The tool is currently used by researchers, marketing professionals, stude...

Claude 3.5 Sonnet, literary analysis capabilities, an experiment

 There are those in the AI observer community that have been suggesting of late that 'AI has plateaued' which reveals, to me, a lack of understanding of how models develop. It's not iterative design but step changes we are witnessing. The differences between Claude 3 Sonnet and 3.5 Sonnet are stark.  One test I often carry out to asses the current capabilities of LLMs is to request a simple prompt to analyse an unpublished poem, commentating on the style and literary devices employed. The outputs have improved significantly over the 18 months I have employed this approach. This is my recent attempt. The poem is self written, self published (so not widely available) to ensure that it's unlikely to have found its way into the training data. For added context, implied in the text, this was written during a residency at a Museum and Art Gallery and came from a conversation with a member of staff about his late father. Calm is museum archival software. PROMPT. "analyse...
