Consequently, proficiency in using this robot has become a valuable skill for those aiming for success in the job market.
A study conducted by Dell analyzed the impact of artificial intelligence on employment rates, and the following results were revealed:
- India leads the scene in terms of new artificial intelligence jobs, hosting a range of roles such as artificial intelligence engineer, artificial intelligence training officer, and computer vision development engineer.
- American companies are increasingly tapping into artificial intelligence talents from Brazil, Canada, and Argentina, with employment rates rising in cities like Toronto by 7%, and Bengaluru and London by 3%; as well as Lahore, Berlin, and Buenos Aires by 2%.
- Germany saw a 52% increase in new contracts in the field of artificial intelligence, followed by the United States at 44% and then the United Kingdom at 41%.
It is worth mentioning that companies are already using interactive chat robots (ChatBots) that rely on artificial intelligence to create marketing materials, code instructions, streamline processes, and automate them. However, this does not mean that artificial intelligence will replace human labor. During a panel discussion at the World Economic Forum’s Growth Summit in 2023, economic expert Richard Baldwin noted, “AI won’t take your job, but someone with experience in using AI will.”
The latest ChatGPT robot has revolutionized the world of technology, driving the tremendous success of major technology companies to accelerate the introduction of updates and new products to adapt to this new era. Microsoft, the developer of ChatGPT by OpenAI, has incorporated its new technology into most of its products.
Similarly, Google introduced Bard, which is available in over forty languages, including Arabic, and supports a variety of features that help you perform many daily tasks easily, including the ability to listen to responses out loud, search for images on the web, or insert images in queries, and much more.
Due to intense competition, Elon Musk decided to launch a new robot called Grok, the first product offered by his company xAI. Elon Musk claims that the initial model of the Grok robot challenges ChatGPT and surpasses the linguistic model (GPT-3.5) used in the initial version of ChatGPT across several metrics.
