Speaker 1 (00:00):
Join us now. Edvon Brown, our Fox correspondent, I love
Evans on tech Talk because he does such great job
with it here. Evan, welcome in, thanks for being here,
Thank you, good morning. So we talk about all the time,
you and I and others as well, that artificial intelligence
is certainly not only here and not going anywhere. But
it roared in like a lion is probably going out
like a stampede of elephants if it ever does. But
(00:22):
there's some polling numbers out there that say whoa, And
I remember Elon Muskvan even said, look, in the beginning
of all of the AI stuff, you better get a
handle on this because it's going to get crazy quick.
And here we are. So there's a big new poll
out there. What do we find.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Yeah, so this is a Fox News poll that we did,
and it was basically asking people how they feel about
AI and different things and so for their daily lives,
fifty percent of people said it's a good thing, thirty
nine percent said it's a bad thing. But for their
mental health, thirty seven percent that it was a good thing,
fifty percent said it was a bad thing. When you
(00:57):
get into discussions about careers and johns more people with
college degrees felt that it was probably okay for their
long term career that AI was advancing, but people without
a degree were more likely to say that it was
not a good thing. People with a college degree overwhelmingly
felt secure in their job their current jobs sixty percent,
(01:20):
but forty four percent of people without a college degree
said that they really don't feel very good about this.
They don't or only forty four percent of people with
a college degree felt secure about their jobs in the
age of AI. So there is obviously a disparity here
between people in different lines of work and whatnot, with
(01:40):
different skill sets and perhaps training or education levels. But
the point is, I think, is that everyone is certainly
feeling that AI is here, AI is ever present, AI
is not going away, and that AI is more than
just a chatbot that you use to make funny pictures
for memes. It really does find its way into the
workplace to begin to take over some of the tasks
(02:02):
that people more traditionally would do.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Yeah, and I'm really just thick of seeing all this
AI stuff on social media where you see pythons eating
elephants and things. You know, it's ridiculous. Some of the
videos that are out there, and it's getting to the
point where I don't believe anything anymore. I've been duped
so many times on video or even information. I ask
aichat GBT, what's going on with some high school football games?
It's coming weekend, and it sent back the two of
(02:28):
the big schools in the area had by weeks. Well,
somebody called me and said, no, not true, and they're
playing games. So I don't believe everything out there, but
there is good implication, you know, an application I should say,
with AI and medical research and things like that and
helping using it as a tool. But I'm not really
afraid of it taking as many jobs as I think
(02:50):
people are worried about.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Well, I think the risk is in task related repetitive
task related employment. For instance, customer service call centers. Right,
if AI is already being deployed to handle triage level
customer service, So do you need a team of fifty
people doing that work now at the call center? You
might be able to get by with twenty five because
(03:13):
the AI is just relaying escalated matters to the up
to the humans. So maybe you only need twenty five
or maybe even ten depending on your operation. Right, that's
so that's a comic impact. Another thing could be, you know,
we've already been doing some of this to a degree
with algorithmic computing. You know how many people who just
have very simple ten forty forms to file do so
(03:37):
using an automated tax service.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Right, Well, that's that's another good application too. I think
to you know, process the process up a little bit,
you know, speed it up and get to let's get
to it done quicker, so we can move on to
improve things in different fields. I agree there, but as
far as removing human beings from customer service, that's a
problem before. AI. Don't do that to me.
