A Dublin AI expert says that a ‘transformation’ in the jobs market is on the way, and that he is ‘optimistic’ Artificial Intelligence will create exciting new roles in the future.
Since the launch of ChatGPT last November, there has been growing concern over potential job losses, as the new technology is likely to make businesses much more efficient. However, the Director of Machine Learning at Irish tech unicorn Intercom, Fergal Reid, has a more positive outlook on what the future may hold for the workforce.
Dublin man Fergal, who has a PHD in Computer Science, Machine Learning and Complex Networks from UCD, told Dublin Live that while there is likely to be job losses, there will also be some exciting changes. Speaking at the Dublin Tech Summit, Fergal said: "AI will definitely make jobs more efficient…and probably some jobs will be lost. But maybe what is more likely is that jobs will change and more jobs will be created.
