00:00 This is so messed up.
00:01 This is an AI powered digital chatbot clone of me
00:04 that a company made without my permission.
00:07 - Today, we're diving into the top seven
00:09 earth shattering AI trends poised
00:11 to shake up your reality in 2024.
00:14 The first trend impacts all of us,
00:16 while the seventh is the most important of all of them.
00:19 But don't worry, I've got you covered.
00:21 Before we dive in, check out the link below
00:23 or scan the QR code on the screen now
00:26 to get your free exclusive guide
00:28 unveiling the groundbreaking AI tools
00:30 that are powering these seven futuristic transformations.
00:33 That's not all, I'm also gonna give you
00:35 a complimentary chapter from my latest book,
00:38 Capturing the 10 Essential Skills
00:40 You Need to Not Just Survive,
00:42 But Thrive in an AI Driven World.
00:45 But first, number one,
00:47 expect customers and employers
00:49 to clone you without your consent.
00:51 Recently, OpenAI released what are called GPTs,
00:55 which is a way for anyone
00:56 to create a personalized version of ChatGPT
00:59 to be more helpful.
01:01 And it's incredible when you clone yourself
01:03 to help with your work.
01:04 However, it's making it easier
01:06 to clone a person's knowledge,
01:08 decision making, and personality without their consent.
01:12 Take Google, for example.
01:14 Reportedly, the giant is looking to reassign
01:16 or let go of 30,000 workers in the ad sales units
01:20 whose jobs were automated
01:22 by Google's new AI-based ad tools.
01:25 The question is, did Google train its AI
01:28 on their staff's work before laying them off?
01:30 And was permission given or even needed?
01:33 Well, we don't know for sure.
01:35 What we do know is that there is financial incentive
01:38 for employers to clone employees to reduce headcount.
01:42 This is gonna force us to ask,
01:44 who owns your own digital identity?
01:47 A question futurist Sinead Bivell is asking.
01:50 - This is so messed up.
01:51 This is an AI-powered digital chatbot clone of me
01:55 that a company made without my permission.
01:57 - Highlighting the issue, if someone clones your likeness
02:00 and your knowledge base, then profits off of it,
02:03 it undermines your ability to generate income.
02:06 She makes a clear case for each of us
02:09 owning our own digital identities
02:11 while reserving the right to sell that to others.
02:14 And it is possible.
02:16 Alt, Inc., a tech company in Japan,
02:19 became the world's first company
02:21 to pay salaries to employees' AI clones.
02:24 I suspect that this year is the year
02:26 that the general public realizes
02:29 that copyright protection can also protect their jobs
02:33 and businesses from becoming obsolete.
02:35 The question is, would anyone wanna pay for your AI clone?
02:39 Which brings us to number two.
02:41 Content is now disposable
02:43 and it will become harder to compete.
02:46 For example, ExcelJet, an acclaimed hub for Excel tips,
02:50 was targeted in an AI SEO heist.
02:53 Content strategist Jake Ward admitted
02:55 stealing 3.6 million visitors from his competitor
02:59 by using a specific AI tool that I list in the document
03:02 that I'm about to give you.
03:04 He used it to replicate ExcelJet's best content
03:08 after feeding 1,800 URLs into it
03:11 and diverting millions of website visitors.
03:14 Businesses that rely on organic traffic
03:16 must ramp up their efforts to compete
03:18 for Google's organic search results
03:20 to derive an income and pay salaries.
03:23 While Jake was actually caught out
03:25 and Google penalized him,
03:27 it doesn't mean others aren't going to try targeting
03:30 your website or your business.
03:32 Companies must assess their content strategy now
03:35 to prepare for a flood of AI-generated content online.
03:39 Which brings us to number three.
03:41 There is some good news, especially for consumers.
03:45 AI will drive down the prices of services.
03:49 We'll start to see a move toward consulting AI clones
03:52 for legal services, marketing strategies, and more,
03:55 based on key influences and service providers
03:58 that have been cloned.
04:00 However, this is going to force individuals
04:03 to be more careful with what they share online,
04:06 so as not to undercut the services they sell themselves.
04:11 Businesses will have to rethink their entire models
04:14 and perform a SWOT analysis
04:16 to ensure they don't get supplanted by AI tools
04:19 in the coming year,
04:20 including by customers cloning their expertise.
04:24 Number four.
04:25 This is where we enter the find out stage of (beep) around.
04:29 AI to most in the past year
04:31 has been a bright, shiny new toy.
04:33 Something that can help us write emails,
04:35 articles, and draw up contracts.
04:37 While most are completely unaware
04:39 that they're actively training AI to replace themselves
04:42 without any legal protection to fall back on.
04:45 The New York Times lawsuit against OpenAI and Microsoft,
04:49 in which they've sued for copyright infringement
04:52 over unauthorized use of its published work to train AI,
04:56 is about to open up a can of worms
04:59 and potentially help to establish regulations
05:02 that protect all of us.
05:04 While mid-journey, the image generator
05:06 has been accused of data laundering
05:09 by users after it started spitting out
05:11 copyrighted images from Marvel.
05:14 As reported by The Wire,
05:15 lawmakers last week from both sides of the aisle
05:18 agreed that companies should pay media outlets
05:21 for using their work in AI projects.
05:24 The question is,
05:25 will users of OpenAI and mid-journey be paid
05:29 based on the interactions they're having with AI models
05:32 and the training that they're inadvertently doing themselves?
05:36 Companies like Disney will need to make a choice
05:39 about cutting deals with AI companies
05:42 or protecting their rights.
05:44 I expect this to flow down to individual employee rights
05:47 later in this year as the layoffs continue to grow.
05:50 Which brings us to number five.
05:52 This year, we'll see even more layoffs due to AI.
05:56 As reported by CNN, Duolingo, a virtual language tutor,
06:00 laid off approximately 10% of its contract workers
06:04 to make way for AI-related changes.
06:07 According to Resume Builder,
06:09 40% of companies plan to replace employees
06:12 with AI in 2024,
06:15 while 96% of companies are looking for workers
06:18 with AI skills.
06:20 But just like Google,
06:22 how long before these skilled workers get replaced
06:25 with the AI that they're integrating into these companies?
06:29 Number six, the quality of outputs from generated AI
06:33 may begin to decline.
06:35 Last year, users and researchers confirmed
06:38 that the quality of outputs degraded.
06:40 While OpenAI acknowledged this issue,
06:43 they didn't know why.
06:44 But there could be one potential reason.
06:47 AI trained on AI-generated data makes AI go crazy.
06:51 Scientists at Rice and Stanford University
06:54 found that feeding AI-generated content to AI models
06:57 seems to cause their output quality to erode.
07:01 As the internet becomes overrun with AI content,
07:03 this problem will accelerate.
07:06 And AI companies will have to adjust their approach
07:09 to training their models and legally acquiring
07:11 copyright data.
07:13 Number seven, and this one is critical.
07:15 While I could discuss all of the developments in robotics,
07:19 this is even more important.
07:21 Parents and children alike are gonna start asking
07:24 what career opportunities there will be in our future.
07:27 Right now, we have students studying for careers
07:30 that will be obsolete by the time they've graduated,
07:33 alongside businesses that offer products or services
07:37 that will be supplanted by AI models in the coming years.
07:40 Right now is the time to look at upskilling,
07:44 getting up to date on the latest developments,
07:46 and developing skills that can be used
07:48 across a variety of industries.
07:51 Diversification is gonna be key moving forward.
07:54 Stop looking at what is occurring right now today,
07:57 and consider the skills you, your kids,
08:00 and your business needs within the next five years
08:04 so you know how to adapt or what to pivot to.
