Dicho de otra forma: la personas que dan las órdenes precisas a la IA para obtener el resultado buscado. Los perfiles válidos para este nuevo trabajo son más variados de lo que se podría pensar. Desde informáticos a lingüistas, pasando por matemáticos.
Parecen ajenos a la realidad que, si se cumplen las predicciones más agoreras, se avecina. Muchos de sus puestos simplemente desaparecerán y sus funciones serán asumidas por la IA del mismo modo que, décadas atrás, millones de trabajadores manuales vieron cómo su trabajo era sustituido por una máquina. Surgirán nuevos empleos, como el de prompt engineer, pero, ¿hasta qué punto estos no serán también engullidos por la automatización absoluta que se nos viene encima?

Waymo To Launch Commercial Robotaxi Service in Austin By End of the YearPosted by msmash on Wednesday March 13, 2024 @02:40PM from the up-next dept.Waymo will begin offering a robotaxi service to the public in Los Angeles this week and in Austin by the end of the year, the company's co-CEO Tekedra Mawakana said Wednesday at SXSW. From a report:CitarThe Alphabet company has been testing and validating its driverless vehicles across about 43 square miles around downtown, Barton Hills, Riverside, East Austin and Hyde Park neighborhoods. The announcement comes about a week after Waymo started letting its autonomous vehicles traverse Austin without a safety operator behind the wheel, a critical step before the company opens the program up to the public.Opening up a robotaxi service means the public will be able to hail a ride in a driverless car via the Waymo One app. Importantly, Waymo will be able to charge for those rides. Austin will become the fourth city where Waymo operates a commercial driverless service. Waymo also operates a robotaxi service in Phoenix, San Francisco and soon Los Angeles.

Amazon Ditches 'Just Walk Out' Checkouts at Its Grocery StoresPosted by msmash on Tuesday April 02, 2024 @12:49PM from the tough-luck dept.Amazon is phasing out its checkout-less grocery stores with "Just Walk Out" technology. The company's senior vice president of grocery stores says they're moving away from Just Walk Out, which relied on cameras and sensors to track what people were leaving the store with. From a report:CitarJust over half of Amazon Fresh stores are equipped with Just Walk Out. The technology allows customers to skip checkout altogether by scanning a QR code when they enter the store. Though it seemed completely automated, Just Walk Out relied on more than 1,000 people in India watching and labeling videos to ensure accurate checkouts. The cashiers were simply moved off-site, and they watched you as you shopped.Instead, Amazon is moving towards Dash Carts, a scanner and screen are embedded in your shopping cart, allowing you to checkout as you shop. These offer a more reliable solution than Just Walk Out, whose impressive technology was truly ahead of its time. Amazon Fresh stores will also feature self check out counters from now on, for people who aren't Amazon members.

Waymo Launches Paid Robotaxi Service In Los AngelesPosted by BeauHD on Wednesday April 10, 2024 @09:40AM from the heads-up dept.Beginning today, Waymo said it would start offering paid robotaxi rides in Los Angeles. It's been offering free "on tour" rides since it announced plans for the service in January, and last month it received regulatory approval for the expansion to a paid service. NBC News reports:CitarWaymo said Tuesday that more than 50,000 people were on its waitlist to use the service. The company did not say how many users it would allow to fully use the app starting Wednesday. Last month, the company said it was starting with a Los Angeles fleet of fewer than 50 cars covering a 63-square-mile area from Santa Monica to downtown L.A. Los Angeles County has a population of 9.7 million people. The service works similarly to other ride-hailing smartphone apps such as Flywheel, Lyft and Uber, except that Waymo's vehicles have no human drivers present. Riders follow instructions on the app and through the vehicle's sound system, though Waymo workers can assist remotely.[F]or now, Waymo's only competition is traditional, human-driven car services. Waymo's expansion to Los Angeles will bring autonomous for-profit taxis to the nation's second-largest city -- and to a city long synonymous with car travel. Waymo already operates commercial robotaxi services in San Francisco and Phoenix. The Los Angeles Department of Transportation said the Waymo expansion was happening too soon, without enough local oversight of autonomous vehicle operations, but in an order last month state officials said that those concerns were unfounded.

Microsoft Launches Free AI Assistant For All Educators in US in Deal With Khan AcademyPosted by msmash on Tuesday May 21, 2024 @12:02PM from the how-about-that dept.Microsoft is partnering with tutoring organization Khan Academy to provide a generative AI assistant to all teachers in the U.S. for free. From a report:CitarKhanmigo for Teachers, which helps teachers prepare lessons for class, is free to all educators in the U.S. as of Tuesday. The program can help create lessons, analyze student performance, plan assignments, and provide teachers with opportunities to enhance their own learning."Unlike most things in technology and education in the past where this is a 'nice-to-have,' this is a 'must-have' for a lot of teachers," Sal Khan, founder and CEO of Khan Academy, said in a CNBC "Squawk Box" interview last Friday ahead of the deal. Khan Academy has roughly 170 million registered users in over 50 languages around the world, and while its videos are best known, its interactive exercise platform was one which Microsoft-funded artificial intelligence company OpenAI's top executives, Sam Altman and Greg Brockman, zeroed in on early when they were looking for a partner to pilot GPT with that offered socially positive use cases.
