Others are convinced it will only worsen inequalities, maybe even doom society to a future lived in the shadow of intelligent machines.<\/p>\n<p>Scholars recently sat down for a <a href=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/dornsife-alumni\/lifelong-learning\/\">Dornsife Dialogue<\/a> to discuss the impact of generative AI.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why it matters: <\/strong>Experts believe this technology may <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/ai-radically-reshape-job-market-global-economy-employee-labor-innovation-2023-8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">radically reshape the workplace<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/39b89be7-398a-4167-9eeb-58af97b764f3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">impact politics<\/a>. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/2023\/09\/13\/ai-insight-forum-senate-regulation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Regulating this technology<\/a> appropriately, they say, will likely be essential to avoid upending our world.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The big picture: <\/strong>What is generative AI and why is it so ground-breaking?<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Unlike standard computer software, which requires step-by-step instructions from humans to produce content, a generative AI program can create complex images or writing with just a simple human prompt.<\/li>\n<li>This form of AI also learns quickly over time, improving its output.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>What they\u2019re saying: <\/strong>Generative AI platforms such as ChatGPT have created quite a stir. This year, for the first time, generative AI programs have moved from research facilities to home computers.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u201cI can log in to an open AI system [like Midjourney] now and do incredibly amazing things that I wasn\u2019t able to do previously in the comfort of my own home,\u201d says <a href=\"https:\/\/www.berggruen.org\/people\/ziyaad-bhorat\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ziyaad Bhorat<\/a>, associate director of the new <a href=\"https:\/\/news.usc.edu\/new-usc-center-for-generative-ai-and-society-artificial-intelligence\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">USC Center on Generative AI and Society<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And the technology\u2019s abilities are sparking big philosophical debates.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u201cExpression, conversation and creation \u2026 are things we tend to really closely associate with being human.

Research has shown that those whose jobs might be impacted by automation vote differently than those less affected.<\/li>\n<li>\u201cWhen radio first came out, people thought it was going to homogenize culture and people\u2019s minds,\u201d she says. \u201cA lot of new technologies seemed incredibly disruptive at the beginning, and then over time they become institutionalized.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Some of the most prominent questions center around how AI should be regulated.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Event panelists recommended regulators be specific and targeted because AI will impact far more than just creative industries.<\/li>\n<li>Along with government, private industry should be expected to regulate, through self-regulating bodies and within corporate trust and safety departments.<\/li>\n<li>Global leaders should produce agreements, such as banning AI involvement in nuclear warfare decision-making or military applications that could go catastrophically haywire.<\/li>\n<li>Intellectual property concerns will need sorting. Thus far, the Supreme Court has not allowed a copyright on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/legal\/ai-generated-art-cannot-receive-copyrights-us-court-says-2023-08-21\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">AI generated art<\/a>, creating limits on how profitable it might be for a maker. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theatlantic.com\/technology\/archive\/2023\/09\/books3-database-generative-ai-training-copyright-infringement\/675363\/\">Copyrighted books written by humans have also been used to train AI<\/a> \u2014 so far largely without author permission.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>What to watch: <\/strong>Unlike past advances in technology, which replaced working-class jobs such as those on assembly lines, AI is most adept at tasks currently done by white collar workers. This could mean office jobs dry up while retail jobs, manual labor and skilled trades like plumbing stick around longer.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>One new employment opportunity that AI could generate? Positions authenticating which work was actually done by a human.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"video-embed\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Automation, AI, and our Human Future\" width=\"500\"

workers in unsafe conditions.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Rare earth materials for servers that host AI come from dangerous mines.<\/li>\n<li>The repetitive processing, labeling and flagging of data is already often completed by poorly paid \u201cdigital service workers,\u201d usually in the Global South.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cUnless there is some mechanism by which we can own these systems in a
