So my grandmother turned 94 this week. She knows I work in AI and automation and we regularly discuss history and the current state of affairs. She asks me a lot of questions about AI and what it means for jobs and what people will do without jobs.

Just for some context, I have been in the field of automation for 20 years and I can confidently say I have directly eliminated multiple jobs that never came back. The first time I helped eliminate 3 jobs was over 13 years ago. So long before where AI is today.

My job role now has a goal from my company to achieve autonomous manufacturing by 2030, and we are well on our way. Our biggest challenge is, and has been even before AI, integrating systems. AI will not solve this challenge, but it will drive the necessity to finally integrate systems that have long been troublesome to integrate, because failing to do so will result in the failure of the company.

My grandma fully understands the consequences of a world without jobs. We talk about it almost daily now, because she sees more and more on the news about AI. I’m absolutely fascinated by her perspective. She grew up in the 30s and 40s in the middle of economic disparity and global war. Her family helped house black folk in the south in secret when they had no where to go. She’s seen some shit.

I’m working to help her understand an economy without jobs and money now, but it is a difficult concept for her to learn at 94. She can see and understand that it is coming though, and she regularly tells me I was right, when I’ve explained protests about AI and strikes that will be coming.

Instead of talking about AIs being "smart", it makes more sense to break it down into different cognitive abilities.

Like, AI already has better language learning speed than any human (e.g. it can read a dictionary and grammar book of a language that isn't in its training set and speak it fluently in seconds).

o1 is quite good at math, coding, symbolic logic, and divergent thinking.

However, it's not superhuman at epistemics, creative problem-solving, or long-term planning (yet).

The question is: AI is rapidly getting better. By the time a baby born today grows up, how many cognitive abilities will it be better at than an AI? Will there be any?

Original Title: "In the future, could we see machines take the place of scientists, with humans being consigned to a supporting role? If so, perhaps the AI tool will get the main Nobel prize with humans needing their own category" | The Conversation

AI was central to two of 2024’s Nobel prize categories. It’s a sign of things to come (Nello Cristianini):
