MODERATORS
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The company made famous by pandemic video chatting has a new vision for the future of work.
Zoom CEO Eric Yuan told The Verge that AI avatars will one day do your job on your behalf.
According to Yuan, the avatar will speak in your Zoom meetings for you, answer emails, and take phone calls, supposedly freeing you up for the rest of your life.
Yuan noted this is a distant vision of the future, but his comments come at a time of deep skepticism of AI technology and what it can really do.
“I think solving the AI hallucination problem — I think that’ll be fixed,” Yuan said, offering a lot of belief and little insight into how.
It’s unclear if they’ll reach this point, but it’s naive to think Zoom wouldn’t automate some jobs if they could.
