Cal Newport is a computer scientist whose books and interviews are great for cutting through the “noise” about digital tech in our lives.
In this age of Artificial Intelligence (AI), he doesn’t believe that language instructors, academics and copywriters, web designers (amongst others) will become categorically redundant, although AI is already changing the nature of our work.
AI will be similar to the dawn of the internet (some liken AI to the discovery of electricity)– It need not become our “Frankenstein.”
Here’s a helpful interview Newport gave last June, on the bigger picture of where AI is today and where it’s going.
