Francisco Gimeno - BC Analyst How is Generative AI impacting us nowadays beyond people who work in the digital world? And what will happen in the near future when this Generative AIs get fantastically developed and can give us tools which can change ways we work and even make jobs obsolete (imagine those working in call centres, for instance). We are advocating to start already a strong global debate on ethics and regulations on all kid of AIs, not just the future AGI which may or not come soon with sentience. It's scary and fascinating at the same time. Let's remember these Generative AIs are just using predictive algorithms, they don't create or have any conscience. They are just tools, but as with all tools regulations and social consensus is needed. The first layer of debate is for those who are directly working on this tech, those engineers and researchers. Let's hope that all Tech layoffs happening now have the least impact possible in this debate, otherwise we will have to work even more to develop a healthy understanding of these tools, and how we can make use of them in a way which really enhance our humanness and creativity, our productivity even, and not the opposite.
