How will generative artificial Intelligence (AIGC) affect human society in the coming years?
Recently, UBS analyst Michael Briest cited the global authoritative IT research and advisory institute Gartner report, said that in the next few years, AIGC will have a huge impact on the pharmaceutical, manufacturing, media, architecture, interior design, engineering, automotive, aerospace, defense, medical, electronics and energy industries.
According to Gartner, “AIGC will impact marketing, design, enterprise communications, training, and software engineering by enhancing support processes across multiple organizations.”
Gartner has five bold predictions for how AI will accelerate enterprise innovation over the next five years:
By 2025, more than 30% of new drugs and materials will be systematically discovered through AIGC technology.
By 2025, the use of integrated data will reduce the amount of actual data required for machine learning by 70%;
By 2025, 30% of the outbound marketing messages of large organizations will be generated by AI, up from less than 2% in 2022.
By 2027, nearly 15% of new apps will be automatically generated by AI, up from 0% today.
By 2026, more than 100 million humans will contribute to corporate work alongside robotic colleagues (synthetic virtual colleagues).
Briest said:
Gartner predicts that given its broad reach, AIGC could almost be given the status of a general-purpose technology such as GPT, similar to printing, electricity, or railroads.
Still, as with these early innovations, AIGC could have a significant impact on the labor market. With the rapid development of technology, the concern that human living space is squeezed by AI is increasingly strong.
Goldman Sachs told clients last month that it expects AI to replace hundreds of millions of jobs in the United States and Europe. Another consulting firm wrote in a report:
We believe there is a more than 50% chance that AI will wipe out all of humanity by mid-century.
