What happens when the workshop ends, but the conversation is too interesting to stop?
At the recent Budapest AI Summit, our colleagues explored why AI is not simply a technology problem during a workshop we featured in an earlier post. Afterwards, we caught up with Zsombor Tőkés for a rapid interview about jobs, accountability and, naturally, AI-generated cat pictures.
Here's what Zsombor said:
Q: Your session was titled "AI Is Not a Technology Problem." What kind of problem is it then?
Zsombor: The biggest challenge today is people's relationship with AI. Many people still don't know where to start or how to engage with it.
Q: What's one thing people worry about when it comes to AI, but shouldn't?
Zsombor: Many people worry that AI will take away their jobs. I don't believe that's true. […] Work will evolve, but that doesn't mean people will become unnecessary.
Q: What's one thing people don't worry about enough?
Zsombor: AI makes it very easy to do things quickly. That convenience can lead people to stop reading carefully, stop taking ownership of their work, and stop verifying what they're producing. […] we risk creating enormous amounts of content that no one actually reads or uses.
Q: Have you ever used AI to generate a cat picture?
Zsombor: Absolutely. Of course I have. 😊
