LATEST HAPPENINGS IN AI
Is AI Threat to Freelancers?
Advancements in generative AI, such as ChatGPT and Copilot, have triggered concerns about job displacement. Freelancers, who lack immediate job security, are particularly vulnerable to changes in the labor market. Unfortunately, data suggests that many freelance roles, including writing and coding, are highly susceptible to AI substitution.
The Magnitude of Change
A study examined freelance platforms after ChatGPT’s release and tracked job opportunities in fields impacted by generative AI. The researchers discovered a significant 21% decrease in freelance job openings related to writing and coding. Image creation roles also saw a 17% decline following the release of DALL-E. This trend of replacing freelancers has only intensified over time.
Pivoting Ahead
While the short-term impact is evident, the long-term rebound remains uncertain. Freelancers may need to pivot to other work, but the exact nature of this shift remains a topic of debate. As AI continues to reshape the job landscape, understanding its impact on freelancers provides valuable insights for the broader workforce.
Google Translate Adds 110 New Languages Using AI
Google Translate is breaking down language barriers even further by adding 110 new languages to its repertoire. This expansion, powered by artificial intelligence (AI), represents the largest increase in supported languages ever for Google Translate.
Diverse Language Inclusion
The newly supported languages include a wide range of linguistic diversity:
Afar: Spoken in Djibouti, Eritrea, and Ethiopia.
Cantonese: A highly requested language for translation.
Manx: The Celtic language of the Isle of Man, which almost went extinct but has experienced a revival.
NKo: A standardized form of West African Manding languages.
Punjabi (Shahmukhi): The most spoken language in Pakistan.
Tamazight (Amazigh): A Berber language spoken across North Africa.
Tok Pisin: An English-based creole and the lingua franca of Papua New Guinea.
Impact and Accessibility
These additions open up translations for approximately 8% of the world’s population, representing more than 614 million speakers. Notably, about a quarter of the new languages come from Africa, marking a significant expansion of African language support in Google Translate.
Microsoft Stays in Hong Kong as OpenAI Blocks China's AI Access
Microsoft, which does not offer generative AI services in mainland China, launched enterprise support for OpenAI models in Hong Kong last year. This move allowed developers in Hong Kong to apply for access to these powerful language models.
Impact on Chinese Developers
OpenAI has recently restricted API access to its large language models for mainland China and Hong Kong-based developers. This decision is likely to affect Chinese companies that were developing services based on OpenAI’s models.
