Speaker 1 (00:16):
Welcome back, architects.
This is your work week newsupdate.
Today is March the 26th.
We have three good topics totalk about today.
So one Bill Gates has somepredictions around AI and the
workforce within the next coupleof years.
Also, we have Otter is going tointroduce a new AI agent that
(00:38):
can participate in meetings.
And, last but not least,chatgpt.
Openai has integrated a newkind of image generation feature
inside of its tools.
So let's get started.
First up, bill Gates justrecently had an interview and he
made some predictions thathonestly kind of freaking some
(01:00):
folks out, making some people alittle nervous.
Not necessarily because it'ssomething new.
It's more so because of whoit's coming from.
Obviously, we all know BillGates as the founder of
Microsoft, so things that hesays in this space a lot of
people will listen to.
So when he's talking about techand he's talking about AI, a
lot of people tend to listen tohim because of his background,
(01:24):
and so in an interview he statedthat within the next 10 years,
he believed that artificialintelligence will be capable of
replacing humans in most jobs.
This is not a new idea.
This is not something that wewere hearing for the first time,
but obviously Bill Gates sayingthis really caused a lot of
people to listen, and thisprediction raises again
(01:47):
questions around the future ofemployment and the need for a
different type of workforce.
We have been talking about thison this podcast for a while
that the way that we have beendoing work and again, we're not
talking about since thebeginning of mankind, we're not
even talking about since thelast 500 years, but over the
last hundred or so years the waythat we have been doing work,
(02:09):
the nine to five white collarconcept that we have been
thinking about.
Ai will eat at that and do itvery, very quickly, and so we
have to be thinking about whatis the future of employment?
What is the future ofemployment?
And also, he mentioned somepotential implications for
education systems as well, interms of preparing students for
(02:30):
what he calls an AI-driven jobmarket, and this has created
discussions over the last weekon what industries might be most
affected by these advancements.
Again, we constantly think aboutthe ethical and societal
impacts of this widespread AIintegration.
Countries and nations arestarting to develop really AI
(02:54):
infrastructure.
When you talk about data, howdo you make sure that data for a
particular nation or country iskept kind of in-house and can
they build their own AI toolswithin their country to help
manage some of this stuff?
Again, this is not somethingthat us as individual citizens
(03:14):
should stress ourselves about interms of trying to fix it, but
it should absolutely be aconversation, as we are
discussing things with the nextgeneration, as we are discussing
things in our own lives and ourown careers.
Just going about it how wetypically have done so before
will not work in the next coupledecades, so we have to be
(03:35):
thinking about its impact on theworkforce over the next decade.
And, again, the fact that BillGates would kind of come out and
very straightforwardly just saythat, hey, artificial
intelligence will be capable ofdoing he didn't just say jobs
that most humans are doing, heliterally said things that most
(03:55):
humans do.
You know, if you think about athing I don't know taking out
the trash, cooking yourselfbreakfast that might not be your
job, but that's something thatyou do.
What happens in an environment?
And again, it can be anexciting concept to think
through but what happens in anenvironment when you have AI
tools that can do things thatmost humans can do?
Then you start having otherquestions around purpose and
(04:19):
time and freedom and money andso on and so forth.
So this will be the tool, thetechnology that defines our
generation, and it's great thatwe have somebody like Bill Gates
raising that discussion topicsin other circles across our
country.
So I attend a lot of meetings.
(04:41):
I'm a little ashamed to say it.
My week is normally filled withdozens and dozens of meetings.
That's a whole nother issue foranother episode.
I think we spend almost toomuch time in meetings.
But, that being said, a lot ofus now are very used to jumping
(05:01):
on a Zoom call, jumping onMicrosoft Teams.
Having a quick meeting aboutall the things Doesn't really
matter if it's nonprofit workfor business, sometimes with
friends and family.
We are jumping on a lot ofmeetings all the time.
I use Otter because you knowthere's a lot of things that are
being said takeaways, to do's,notes that you want to refer
(05:23):
back to, and so there's a toolcalled Otter AI and it's not the
only one of its kind, but it'sone of the main ones that you
can actually have.
The tool, or pretty much, an AIbot, join the conversation for
you, transcribe it, everybodythat's talking, it can take
notes, it can generate a summaryof the meeting, it can create
(05:46):
some takeaways or some to-dos,and so after the meeting, I can
literally go on Otter and say,hey, summarize that meeting for
me, or was this question askedduring the meeting?
Was it answered during themeeting?
What are some of the things Ihave to do afterwards?
(06:08):
And so Otterai is just, I think, a fabulous tool.
Again, this is a daily toolthat I use.
Well, it has launched a new AIagent that can actually actively
speak up and contribute duringmeetings speak up and contribute
(06:28):
during meetings.
So I will repeat, Otter AI haslaunched a new AI agent that can
actually speak up in meetingsthat you are on, or even
meetings that you aren't on.
Matter of fact, every now andthen I'll get double booked for
a meeting.
At the same time, zoom calls.
I might go to one of them.
Actually, you know myself, butI'm going to send my Otter bot
to the other one to take noteson my behalf.
Now, it's not saying anything,it's not doing anything, but
(06:52):
after the meeting, and actuallyeven during the meeting, if I
want to, I can check and seewhat's being said, what's talked
about.
I can get kind of a rundown, asummary, of the meeting.
So the fact that now that youhave an AI agent for Otter that
allows you know it pretty muchspeaks up in the meetings is
fascinating to me.
I can't wait to use it.
I mean, matter of fact, thisdevelopment signifies a shift in
(07:16):
how AI can assist in real-timecommunication and collaboration,
but the potential benefits ofthis could be increased
efficiency, the ability tocapture some key points of
discussion in the meetings.
I hope this thing isn't likeinterrupting conversation and
just deciding to speak out onits own, but it just gets real,
(07:37):
real, interesting, and theconcept is that you would give
Otter some general informationabout your organization or your
business or maybe some pastmeetings and, yeah, it can ask
relevant questions with a humanvoice inside of the meeting.
So this is going to have a hugeimpact on roles like admin
assistants.
Matter of fact, we, for a whilenow, have been using Otter
(08:00):
again to transcribe our meetings.
We still have an adminassistant, but that's not one of
the tasks that they are taskedto do is to transcribe our
meeting minutes.
Right, that's something thatthe tool handles, and so the
fact that something can nowspeak up in that meeting will
have an impact on some of thoseroles.
I remember when the Otter botsfirst started jumping on
(08:22):
meetings and folks felt a littleweird, like man, something's
recording us right now, andpeople have gotten over that
very, very quickly.
And now you're at a point whereyou have a bot that's speaking
up in a meeting.
That's probably going to beweird until maybe the summertime
and then probably in the fall,every meeting you go on, there's
going to be a little bot that'sgoing to be speaking up and
asking questions.
Welcome to 2025.
(08:45):
And, last but not least, openaihas integrated its GPT-4.0 model
, which is one of its latestmodels, and they've integrated
it and powering now imagegeneration into chat GPT.
So OpenAI, which again ownschat GPT, has rolled out an
(09:06):
image generation and it's prettymuch powered by their their
GPT-4 model, into its platform.
So what does this mean?
What does all this mean?
So users can now generateimages based on just text, text
prompts within chat GPT.
Hey, give me an image of a manwalking down the streets of
(09:31):
Nigeria with, I don't know, abasketball in his hand right,
and it will generate that imagefor you.
And so this feature reallyenhances the features and the
versatility of ChatGPT becauseit kind of bridges the gap
between the text creation andthe visual content creation that
(09:51):
people can use and potentialapplications.
I mean it ranges from graphicdesign assistance to educational
content development.
I mean, now you can probablysay, hey, I want a children's
book around financial literacy.
It should be I don't know 20pages, and on this page I wanted
(10:14):
to talk about this and I want apicture that looks like that
and it's going to generate thisstuff for you.
So it has a lot of potentialapplications across the board.
Now, obviously, in terms ofquality and of the images and
the originality of the images,compared to human creative
visuals, I'm pretty sure if youhad you an expert human artist,
(10:35):
you can probably still get abetter image from that human.
The question is time.
Right, the time is going to takeyou to call the artist to
describe what you want them todo, for them to take the time to
draw it out, for them to chargeyou.
Now, if you're telling me, I canjust go and chat to BT and say,
yeah, create me an image of ablack father with his son
(10:57):
talking about financial literacyusing dollar bills, and then I
can have that image now inliterally 30 seconds and keep
going about my business.
Again, I think, even if it'snot quite what you need it to be
right now.
This is the worst it will everbe, and so it's going to just
keep getting better and betterand better.
So OpenAI, integrating thisimage generation inside of
(11:20):
ChatGPT, is another step forwardto this kind of new creative
space that we live in, andlearning how to use that stuff
is going to be critical for theaverage person that's doing any
type of content creationactivities.
And that's it for your WorkweekNews update.
