Everyone today has an artificial intelligence tool on their cell phone and only now is it beginning to know

For Bruce Mac Master, “everyone today has an artificial intelligence tool on their cell phone and is only now beginning to know it.” Hence the need for the purpose of AI to have a clear focus.
“All these new tools have to be made available to the human being and look for activities in which humans are irreplaceable.. Change is coming and we have to be ready. The labor reform cannot deny that this is going to happen,” he assured in a chat with this newspaper.
According to the economist, the “big question” that arises is: “What do we do to ensure that artificial intelligence does not harm humanity?”
Mac Master suggested that the laws of Colombia be grounded in the new times. Specifically, he urged that the labor reform have within its pillars the adjustment of contracts “to international labor relations, to the digital world.”
“All the decisions we are making at this moment are decisions of the 20th century. Not of the 21st century. There are many things that have changed or are changing. Today the most serious problem that exists in the world of work is unemployment. Around 10 % And we have the biggest distortion, which is informality,” he said.

“The government’s labor reform does not say a single word about that. And we are not just talking about labor costs. The reform is a reform for the 20th century. It does not recognize that we are in the 21st century,” added the president of the Me too.
