Geoffrey Hinton: These jobs will be replaced due to AI | Businessman

“The godfather AI” says some fields are safer than others in terms of AI replacement.

Geoffrey Hinton, 78, is often withdrawn as the godfather AI because of his pioneering work on neural networks that began at the end of the 70s. He won the Nobel Prize 2024 in physics for his work on machine learning and is currently an emeritus professor in computer science at the University of Toronto.

In a recent interview on the podcast “Diary of the CEO”, which was broadcast on Monday, Hinton said that AI has the potential to cause mass unemployment.

“I think for secular intellectual work, AI will just replace everyone,” Hinton said. ”Light intellectual work “indicates jobs. He specialized that the replacement would be the form of a “person and AI assistant” to do a job that “ten people acted”.

Hinton said one example and noted that the parallegally threatened the loss of employment on AI, and said he would “scare” to work at the call center right now because of the potential of automation. However, he suggested that working with a blue collar would take a long time to replace AI.

“I would say it will be a long time before (AI) is just as good in physical manipulation,” Hinton said in a podcast. “So, a good bet should be a plumber.”

In an interview, Hinton also questioned the idea that AI would create new jobs and stated that if the intellectual tasks of AI were automated for people, it would be felt for people.

“You would have to be very qualified to have a job that (AI) just couldn’t do,” Hinton said.

AI has the potential to reduce hiring, especially for basic jobs. Last month, a report published by Signalfire’s risk capital found that large technology companies have ceased to hire new graduates for basic levels, as in the past, and AI is a significant reason for a decline.

The report found that the percentage of new graduation hiring companies such as META and Google dropped by 25% from 2023 to 2024 and reached only 7% in 2024.

It is not just the technical industry – Wall Street also shows signs of AI impact. In March, Morgan Stanley announced dismisses of 2,000 employees who intend to replace some AI. The report published in January from Bloomberg Intelligence showed that AI, which causes up to 200,000 cuts at 93 main banks, included Citigroup and JPMORGan over the next five years.
