Here are five things that happened in the tech industry this week and how they impact your business. Were you lonely?
1 – Nvidia's Jensen Huang says artificial general intelligence is five years away.
Artificial general intelligence (AGI) will be here within 10 years, according to Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang. Unlike generative AI (classified as “weak AI”), AGI can function autonomously, make its own decisions, and follow self-guided instructions without human input. It's consciousness. Characterized as a “strong AI,” this type of his AI possesses human-level intelligence with abilities that go beyond the limits of human understanding. Huang also said that AI illusions (inaccurate data generated by tools such as chatbots) can be “easily eliminated” by applying “search augmented generation,” which compares the AI's answers to “known truths.” He also said that it can be resolved. “AI can't just give answers; it must first do research to determine which answer is the best,” Huang said.

Why this is important for your business:
Within a few years, inanimate objects such as cameras, speakers, and, of course, robots will think, feel, and act like humans. No one will ever fully understand how this will impact our businesses and lives. Yes, it's scary. But I believe it is also exciting and a major advance in human civilization.
2 – AI will create 500 million new jobs – Here’s why.
Computerworld's Lucas Mearian expressed optimism about AI and its impact on jobs. Rather than eliminating jobs, AI redirects employees' daily tasks, giving them more time to focus on other tasks and increasing productivity. Merian cited interesting data from research firm Gartner, which predicts that 500 million jobs will be created by AI by 2033. Additionally, companies are increasing adoption rates based on their need to integrate technology. As a breakdown of these numbers, Mearian included his Upwork survey of 1,400 business leaders across industries about how AI will directly impact their business. 49% said they plan to hire more freelancers, and 64% of executives said they would “hire more professionals of all types thanks to generative AI.” (Source: Computer World)
Why this is important for your business:
Technology always replaces jobs. How many blacksmiths do you know? Typing pool? A carriage driver? People evolve and find other, and almost always better, things to do. As a business owner, you don't have to worry about work. Instead, think about how you can use AI to dramatically increase employee productivity and help you get more done with fewer people.
