Walmart -CEO -Ausgaben für Weckrufe: „KI wird buchstäblich jeden Job ändern“ – Die Zählung des Kopfes wird voraussichtlich trotz der Wachstumspläne in den nächsten drei Jahren flach bleiben

„It’s very clear that AI is going to change literally every job,” Chief Executive Doug McMillon said this week in one of the most pointed assessments to date from a big-company CEO on AI’s likely impact on employment.
His remarks reflect a rapid shift from just months ago in how business leaders discuss the potential human cost of the technology. Companies including Ford, JPMorgan Chase and Amazon have bluntly predicted job losses associated with AI. Some have advised other employers to prepare their workforces for change.
What roles? I hear lot of talk and no actual lay offs or roles that are at risk.
Yeah it couldn’t possibly have anything to do with how little you pay everybody. They will always blame something else instead of their own actions.
All the more reason for the AI companies to be paying their own electricity costs. Why should we subsidize their costs when their set to make billions upon billions.
Every job a dumb ass CEO can think of so. I.T guy, coffee getter, prostitute, underage prostitute, tailor, delivery person, assistant.
The bubble is bursting people. They can only keep this AI bullshit up for so long before the gig is up. Pop goes the weasel!
This dweeb only knows how to force his employees to do weird cult chants in their stores. He doesn’t know diddly-dick about anything besides what his genetic dead-end friends tell him.
AI will certainly transform many jobs.
AI won’t reduce the total number of jobs, though.
Not until we put in a UBI that’s high enough to actually allow people to stop working.
It would be wonderful if new machines could save us all labor in aggregate, just like machines are supposed to.
Unfortunately, a broken monetary system and our cultural assumptions about labor stand in the way of this.
95% of Ai spending is producing nil outcomes, the infrastructure chips needed for Ai are being bought with hundreds of billions to build data centres that strain a 1970’s electric grid. Most of these chips will be overtaken by newer chips on 2-5 years timescale….. compelling new investment still with meagre returns. Ai like big data can transform everything over much longer timeframe but these oliogopoly tech hegemonies will face a bubble burst of senseless speculation much much sooner than that. We are heading to cliff of disillusionment just when job numbers are looking bad.
So much money could be saved by just replacing CEOs with AI. Just have it write some generic sounding mission statement every month or so.
I’m amazed that the CEO of Walmart is a computer scientist and not just another empty suit with the thought of layoffs twinkling in his eyes.
I’m sorry, “Walmart ceo” doesn’t exactly make me think of someone with advanced tech expertise.
Are we talking AI powered robots? I can see that transforming many industries sooner than later. I just don’t see how this so called AI which is nothing more than a huge database is going to start taking that many jobs in it’s current form.
Hey…dipshit…
AI CAN’T STOCK SHELVES.
…that’s what robots are for. If you’re going to be an asshole, at least get your terms right.
A lot of c-suite types are big on buzzwords and don’t understand what “AI” even means. Chatbots? Chatbots aren’t going to make your widgets.
I’d love to know how AI is going to change a restaurant.
AI has and will change things, but when we are through this what will be evident is how much pain CEOs caused by forcing it on their workers and companies.
We’re still decades away from this mass sweep of jobs. I work in accounting on the consulting side and work for one of the “leaders of AI integration” and we’re doing some cool stuff but it isn’t nearly as adaptable and capable as these goof ball CEOs think.
We still can’t even get it to do ASC 606 contract assessments reliably. We can’t even get it to pull the same data consistently off of contracts when we give it exactly the parameters we need.
It’s inevitable. Once unit cost dominance is achieved, they have to automate or their competitors will and obliterate them. No one wants to destroy the consumer base but no one can stop it. It’s a prisoner’s dilemma with such extreme payoffs that everyone will automate.
