AI and Professional Work

Posted on by

Apologies if I am late on these considerations but the implementation of the AI Act brings up an interesting aspect.

As ethically required, we will need to declare which parts of professional jobs are performed not by us humans, but by AI assistants/agents. But there are also free, or almost free, AI assistants/agents that can be directly used by the customers.

I am not a market expert, but I can imagine that this will lead to (and it reminds me of years ago when Google Search arrived): 1) professional jobs performed without or with little AI assistants/agents’ contribution, + 2) direct customers use of AI assistants/agents to perform the job; and very little in between.

A non-IT example can be the legal profession: asking an AI chatbot for legal advice is for free (or it can appear to be so), but it is not the same as paying a lawyer for legal support.

Compliance of Foundation AI Model Providers with Draft EU AI Act

Interesting study by the Center for Reasearch on Foundation Models, Stanford University, Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence, on compliance of Foundation Model Providers, such as OpenAI, Google and Meta, with the Draft EU AI Act. Here is the link to the study, and the results indicate that the 10 providers analysed “largely do not” comply with the draft requirements of the EU AI Act.
