  Speaker 1: Chuck Douglas in the Power Hour six ten WTV, and
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: I've got Alex Stone coming up from ABC News here
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: in just a couple of minutes. A warning coming from
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: a CEO regarding AI and an entry level white collar jobs.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: And I don't think anybody was thinking about this when
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: they first started this stuff going. But Travis has been
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: holding on through the break. Let me get aim the
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: real quick, Travis, you're on six ten do wle UTVN.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: Hey, Chuck good eating?
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: How are you fine? Sir? Are you?
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: I'm good? So I have a question for you, so
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: on your last segment in regard to that, why can't
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: it be published from the judges and what sentences they
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: give so people know.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: Well, it's a matter of public record. You can go
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: down and actually see. And the judge who the judge
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: who let this dirt ball out is all over social
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: media right now. Picture and I'm pretty sure she was
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: elected as one of those vote brown all the way
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: down judges if I'm not mistaken. When the Democrats pretty
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: much swept everything in Franklin County, well.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: I get that, I get that, but I guess if
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: it was it's somebody out out there was to publish
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: it and to show it people more likely to People
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: don't want to do work, and if you were, if
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: there were someone that was publishing it or showing it
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: or giving it out, I think it would make a
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: much bigger difference, and I think people would want to
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: hold them accountable, especially when it comes time for the election.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: That's an old school point of view, and Travis, I
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: love old school. You might be onto something. Let me
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: think about that. Maybe we can get somebody whose job
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: it is specifically to watch the decisions that come out
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: and with the access to the social media and so forth,
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: the podcasting, all the stuff, maybe that's something we could do.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: Let's just start blatantly, repeatedly calling them out every time
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: they do something like that. All right, speaking of blatant
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: and repeated news about artificial intelligence is in the news
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: every day. I have been playing recently with a couple
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: of the platforms. You know, everybody's in the chat GPT,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: so I've been trying to see what it does. And
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: I'm an old dog trying to learn some new tricks.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: But one of the things I see already is there
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: are so many things events people in my life that
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: I could seriously just replace with this phone app. And
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: this is only going to grow in scale as use
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: of AI grows and those components which create the artificial
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: intelligence platforms continue to become more more what's the word
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: I'm looking for, more viable. More information is being pumped
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: into them because they are much like the Internet. They're
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: grabbing information from everywhere in order to create what they create.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: That could mean the loss of some jobs. Alex Stone
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: from ABC News standing by right now. Alex has the
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: full depressing report. Especially if you're probably like a high
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: school freshman right now, think about what you want to
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: do with your life.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: That's right, Hey, hik get so. I mean, as you
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: mentioned that, it's everywhere now and pretty simply it can
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: put together. Videos will look very very real. You know,
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: everybody thinks of AI videos as where you have like
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: eight fingers on one hand and the faces behind somebody
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: are all gobblygook. That's not how it is now. It's
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: already come a long way in the last couple of
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: years that it's kind of got that stereotype behind it,
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: but they've already improved that photos. The same thing for
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: medical research. Now AI can crunch data and look at
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: scans and in ways that humans and radiologists would never
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: be able to detect things in those scans. So there's
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: a lot of good that can come of it. But
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: today there is a CEO from an AI company they
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: build an AI model called Claude four, and he's issuing
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: a pretty blunt warning. He says fifty percent of all
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: entry level white collar jobs could be wiped out by
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: AI within five years, and that it could drive up
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: the unemployment rate from where it is now I think
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: four point six percent something like that, up to twenty
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: percent in five years because AI is going to become
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: so pervasive. And Molly Kinder is an analyst with the
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: Brookings Metro. She says, yeah, this is very real.
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: These new generative AI technologies pose a real risk to
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: early career nolledge.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: Jobs, and the CEO is warning axios. He says jobs
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: in law, in marketing, in tech, and in finance are
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: going to be most at risk by this. And you
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: could argue news reporters as well, in fact, that the
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: Arizona Supreme Court is now using AI avatars to crunch
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: what is going on in Supreme Court hearings in the
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: Arizona Supreme Court. And then report out a summary for
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: viewers online of what went on in those hearings. This
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: is one of those reports done by an AI reporter
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: in the court.
• 4:30
  Speaker 5: I'm Victoria, one of the Arizona Supreme Court's new AI reporters.
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: If you're wondering why the court decided to use an
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: AI generated spokesperson like me to share its news, the
• 4:39
  Speaker 5: answer is simple. By providing timely updates directly from the court,
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: we help ensure you have accurate information about important legal
• 4:46
  Speaker 5: decisions affecting Arizonas.
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: They don't need a human sitting in there regurgitating what
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: goes on. They can just read the transcripts and the
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: notes from the court reporter and then put that together.
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: So young college educated workers in their first job are
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: expected to to be hit the most by this before
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: they have seniority or experience. Some major companies Chuck already
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: making cotts. Walmart getting rid of fifteen hundred corporate jobs
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: is part of a technology lettery structuring Microsoft laying off
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: six thousand employees, saying it's aligning for the AI era,
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: So it is beginning in that way and the experts
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: so you can protect your job by doubling down on
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: what AI can't do making human to human connections, doing
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: things that are in person and kinderson.
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: If you can do your job locked in a closet
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: with a computer, those are the things that are more
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: worrying for AI. Things that have to be in person
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: and really with people tend.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: To be safer.
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: So that's the problem is I am literally locked in
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: a closet right now with a computer talking to you.
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: And those are the jobs that she says are going
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: to go away first. But you know, she says, master
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: craft and be somebody that your company can't get rid of.
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: But fifty percent of all entry level white collar jobs
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: could be gone.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: And the idea of you know, the court using it people.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: I catch myself doing this because I will hear commercials
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: right now and say, ah, that's AI. That's not even
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: real guy. The trouble is my standards are not the
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: standards of the industry. All they want to be is understood.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: It doesn't have to the court's not going well, the
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: inflection isn't quite human there. They don't care as long
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: as what they are typing in and is being regurgitated
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: by the software is understood. That's all they care about. Yeah.
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: Well, and it's getting better and better. I mean already
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: what you heard there was ten times better than a
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: couple of years ago. Thinking another two or three years
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: and another ten years, because already there's a lot of
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: AI where you know, I have to sit there.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: And go, I don't know.
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: That might be like ads on YouTube. We're like, that
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: might be real and that might not be.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: It's getting better and better and quite quickly. And you
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: can see that in videos where they used to be
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: all funky and now there are a lot of videos
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: that look very very real.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: Blazer and I were just talking about this a few
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: weeks ago, You and I and him, we need to
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: figure out a way to AI ore and come up
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: with an NIL, because you know, there are those personalities
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: out there. You are very good on camera, you're good
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: on the radio. You could be making a living for
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: three hundred years, Alex.
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: Seriously, I thank you, or making no money over three
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: hundred years because AI does it and the money doesn't
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: come back to it.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: Billy Mays is selling stuff on the late night TV
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: thirty years after he said it could happen. I appreciate
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: the info, buddy, thanks very much, and having got it
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: for California Evening. Thanks Jauq. Weird about the six forty
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: six right now. And I know I had a couple
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: of people message me in the first half hour of
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: the show, just telling me, Wow, you're you're really fired up,
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: And yeah, I am. I am, and I hope I
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: didn't scare anybody. I try not to, but yeah, I'm
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: a passionate guy, I really am. And when something matters
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: to me, you're you'll know it matters. I do not
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: come in here and uh and I won't say ever
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: put on fake emotions because sometimes, quite frankly, I come
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: in here and I I laugh, and I have a
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: good time and I bring you through the hour and
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: I'm miserable because I'm a human being and sometimes we
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: all are. We have bad days, bad moments, bad events.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: But as Zach has heard me many times say, I'm
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: going in the room now where everything makes sense. And
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: it does. But while I may sometimes put a smiley
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: face on in order to do the show and not
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: frighten the children and scare the pets out of the room,
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: You're never going to hear me come in here and
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: act like I'm mad about something I'm not mad about
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: or I'm concerned about. I won't feign that what I
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: said is exactly what I meant. And while I live
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: here in Central Ohio and that's that is primarily on
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: my mind, this is just a societal problem overall in
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: this country now. The bad guys are getting away with
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: far too much than good guys are outnumbered, outgunn out represented.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: The court system that should be backing up our law
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: enforcement is instead backing up the bad guys. The neighbors
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: on the street who should be going, yeah, we've got
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: to do something about this, are running go fundmes for
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: the people that are killing police officers. Something's wrong with us.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: And sometimes I feel the need to say that very loudly,
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: and today was one of those days. And there will
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: be future days when I will also be loud, but
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: more often than not, I will try to give you
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: the controlled, reasonable presentation that you come to expect, just
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: because I paid for the subscription and I might as
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: well use it.
