The Impact of Artificial Intelligence on the Labor Market and Security

• AI is causing a decrease in the number of available jobs.
• Cybercriminals are using AI for automating attacks.
• There is an increasing need for a balance between technology and security.

This is reported by MIT Technology Review, The Verge.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is causing a decrease in job availability among young people concerning future work and security. During a conversation with his daughter, who expressed the thought that many professions could vanish due to AI, they raised serious questions about the consequences of technological progress. According to the leaders of major companies, such as OpenAI and Ford, AI could eliminate half of all jobs in the next five years.

This phenomenon is not without its downsides. The decrease in the demand for young specialists in fields like technology and finance indicates that AI is already impacting the labor market. Generation Z is also structured by the impact of climate change, as AI requires large amounts of energy and water to operate data centers.

At the same time, the number of incidents is increasing when AI is used in cybersecurity. Along with the new system Anthropic, AI systems like Claude are already being used for the organization of cyberattacks. For instance, criminals have used Claude to create psychologically targeted demands for ransom, which has made the automation of processes that previously required skilled teams possible.

The report also indicates that AI lowers the barriers for complex cyberattacks, allowing criminals to automate their actions. Research shows that in cases of AI-related attacks, companies are forced to implement security measures, while criminals still find ways to bypass these measures.

Thus, the question of the use of AI in business and its impact on society remains relevant. It is essential to find a balance between the introduction of new technologies and ensuring security for future generations.
