AI tools can enhance our cognitive abilities, but may lead to the loss of certain creative jobs, according to OpenAI's CTO.

Mira Murati, the chief technology officer of OpenAI, believes that AI has the potential to enhance human creativity but may also eliminate certain creative jobs.

On June 19, Dartmouth College's engineering school discussed with Murati the potential impact of OpenAI's tools, such as ChatGPT, on various industries. During the discussion, the Dartmouth alum was inquired about their ability to write scripts and create films.

"As a tool, it can certainly do that," she said. "I anticipate that we will collaborate with it and it will expand our creativity."

She stated that OpenAI's tools would make it easier for anyone to consider themselves creative.

She argued that AI tools could have a potentially disruptive impact on creative industries, stating that some creative jobs may disappear, but they should not have existed if the resulting content was not of high quality.

I truly believe that utilizing it as an educational and creative tool will enhance our intelligence, creativity, and imagination.

Will AI replace humans? It depends on who you ask

The complexity of the answer arises from several factors when it comes to the replacement of human creativity by generative AI tools.

For one, generative AI learns differently than humans.

These AI tools employ potent algorithms to detect patterns in their training data and subsequently produce novel outputs such as images, text, or audio based on user inputs.

Theo Omtzigt, chief technology officer at Lemurian Labs, states that humans still lack a comprehensive comprehension of how we acquire knowledge, retain it, and cultivate creativity.

Without a mathematical or scientific comprehension of what causes consciousness or creativity, we cannot develop an artificial system with these traits, he stated in December to CNBC Make It.

Generative AI may still be disruptive

That's not to say generative AI tools won't cause any disruption.

Nearly 12 million workers in the US may need to switch jobs by 2030 due to generative AI, according to a May report from McKinsey Global Institute. The study predicts that office workers, customer service representatives, and production workers, including those in manufacturing, will be most affected.

Some individuals in the music industry are attempting to anticipate AI's potential influence.

Over 200 music artists, including Billie Eilish and Nicki Minaj, penned an open letter in April advocating for safeguards against the exploitative application of AI in their field.

"The letter asserts that some of the largest and most influential corporations are utilizing our work to train AI models without our consent. If left unchecked, the development of AI will result in a downward spiral that will diminish the worth of our work and hinder us from being fairly compensated for it."

Dr. Joy Buolamwini, an AI expert and author of "Unmasking AI," questioned Murati about the concerns many creatives have about their work being used to train AI models without their consent at Dartmouth.

OpenAI offers users significant control over how their data is utilized in its products, and users can choose to remove their data from the training set, according to Murati. Additionally, the company is exploring ways to develop tools that enable individuals to receive compensation for their data contributions.
