Researcher David Johnson: creative industry workers will have to compete with computers
David Johnson, a researcher of human–machine interaction, said on Latvijas Radio's programme Kultūras rondo that fears are growing that humans are becoming unnecessary. He studies how artificial intelligence can expand the limits of creativity rather than replace it.
David Johnson, a researcher whose work centres on human–machine interaction, spoke on the Latvijas Radio programme Kultūras rondo about growing concern that people are becoming unnecessary. The topic affects workers in the creative industries, who, as the programme's framing suggests, will have to compete with computers.
According to Johnson, people increasingly understand what could happen if technological capabilities keep expanding. They feel growing uncertainty about their career prospects, their skills and their sense of life purpose.
Johnson himself studies how artificial intelligence can expand the boundaries of human creativity rather than replace it.
