Mustafa Suleyman, a cofounder of DeepMind with Hassabis and Shane in 2010 is an AI heavyweight. DeepMind was later taken over by Google in 2014. Suleyman continued with the new company for five more years, but left Google to form a new company Inflection AI that offers personalized AI assistants.
Suleyman, though optimistic about AI’s efficiency increasing capability leading to increased productivity, is also apprehensive about its job replacement potential at the workplace. It is estimated that almost 47 per cent of jobs could be at risk of being automated by mid-2030s. According to a Mckinsey study, there would be 12 million job switches as AI takes over their roles by 2030.
Suleyman calls AI a truly transformative technology and not just a hyped concept. However, it can displace workers, if not regulated.
