🤖 AI: Is it Stealing or Creating Jobs?
Many tech icons have admitted they’re worried that AI will replace human workers in just about every industry.
But Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky doesn’t seem to share their concern.
In a recent interview on the "This Week in Startups" podcast, Chesky stated that AI would create more jobs, especially for entrepreneurs.
To put it in his words:
"AI is already making Airbnb’s software engineers more efficient (30% of day-to-day tasks could be handled by ChatGPT-like tools within the next six months), this doesn’t mean those engineers’ jobs necessarily are at risk, the saved time could allow them to focus on harder, more personalized projects."
He also said that as AI evolves, you’ll be able to tell chatbots in plain English what you want in a website and technology will build it for you, no coding languages required.
“I think this is going to create millions of startups, entrepreneurship is going to be a boon”
Chesky is not alone in this line of thought - RSE Ventures CEO Matt Higgins, also believes that AI can help people e*rn more money in less time.
We know most people are eager to find answers to this question.

🗃️ UK Launches AI Taskforce to Tackle Risks!
The British government has set up a taskforce to address the potential risk associated with AI.
Leading the charge is tech whiz Ian Hogarth (who co-founded SongKick, a concert discovery service which was later sold to Warner Music in 2017).
They've armed this Taskforce with a jaw-dropping £100 million ($128.17 million), and their mission?
To explore the potential risk associated with AI,
Conduct safety research,
and develop international safety standards.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak believes that AI can grow the economy and deliver better public services, but regulation is needed.
To put it in his words:
“But with such potential to transform our future, we owe it to our children and our grandchildren to ensure AI develops safely and responsibly."

✒️ Grammys Tighten Rules on AI
Grammy Award trophy
The Recording Academy has released new rules regarding the role of AI in creating music.
The rule is simple:
"Only human creators are eligible for the prestigious Grammy award."
This doesn't mean that any work that features AI components will be automatically disqualified.
However, the rules require meaningful human contributions, particularly the lyrics.
This move comes in light of Paul McCartney's recent announcement of an AI-generated "last Beatles record," which sparked a combination of excitement and concern about AI's impact.
By prioritizing human creativity, the Grammys aim to preserve the integrity of the industry's highest accolade and ensure deserving human contributors receive the recognition they deserve.
