Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence can already write texts, draw, drive cars, diagnose, and manage production. All this makes millions of people around the world wonder: will I be left without a job? A scary but necessary conversation. Let’s take an honest look at whom AI can really replace, and which professions will remain in demand – and why.

Why is AI increasingly influencing the labor market?
AI systems are developing exponentially. Over the past 5 years, they have moved from simple chatbots to complex neural networks capable of analyzing data, learning, and making decisions. And most importantly, AI works quickly, without fatigue, errors, or days off, which makes it attractive for business.

In addition:

The cost of technology is decreasing.

Cloud services simplify the implementation of AI.

Companies are striving to automate processes to reduce costs.

All this makes automation widespread and inevitable.

Who can AI replace in the next 10 years?

1. Call center operators
AI already processes calls, understands speech and offers solutions. Virtual assistants cope with tasks no worse than human operators, especially in standard situations.

2. Accountants and auditors
AI programs process invoices, find errors, make reports and even give recommendations. Routine tasks are especially at risk – calculations, reconciliations, documents.

3. Copywriters and translators
AI can write texts, create product descriptions, adapt style and even joke. Machine translation has become much more accurate, especially with context support.

4. Junior lawyers
Analyzing contracts, searching for violations, preparing standard documents – AI can do all this. There are already services that replace junior lawyers in large firms.

The world where you can no longer trust your eyes has already arrived. Videos of famous politicians saying scandalous things, celebrities participating in fake ads, “leaks” with supposedly real confessions — all of this may not be reality, but a product of deepfake. This technology has already changed the information space, and now society is faced with the question: how to maintain trust when lies become indistinguishable from the truth?

What is deepfake?
Deepfake (from deep learning + fake) is a technology that allows you to create realistic fake audio and video content with the participation of real people. Deep learning (neural networks) is used, which analyzes the behavior, voice, facial expressions and features of a person’s movement in order to then recreate their behavior in the desired context — even if they themselves never did or said it.

How are deepfake videos created?
Technologically, deepfake is the result of generative neural networks, most often GAN (Generative Adversarial Networks). One algorithm creates a fake image or video, another checks it for plausibility. Gradually, the system learns to generate more and more convincing fakes.

In addition to this, the following are used:

Audio synthesizers to imitate a person’s voice with high accuracy.

Motion models to imitate characteristic gestures and facial expressions.

Large databases of images and videos for training the model.

Examples of using deepfake
Political manipulation.
In 2018, a fake video appeared with Barack Obama, in which he allegedly talks about the “dangers of fake news.” This video was created as a warning – but it looked so convincing that many took it for real.

Commercial deception.
Brands and bloggers became victims of deepfake advertising, where their faces were inserted into videos without permission.

Cybercrime.
In Germany, fraudsters generated the voice of a company director and demanded a transfer of funds on his behalf. The company lost hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Stars and scandals.
Celebrities regularly become the “heroes” of fake videos created for clickbait, black PR or even blackmail.

Why is this dangerous?

1. Loss of trust
When any video fact can be faked, trust in visual evidence disappears. This can be a disaster for journalism, the judicial system, education and historical accuracy.

2. Information warfare
Deepfakes are a powerful weapon in hybrid conflicts. Fakes can cause protests, panic, market collapses or even diplomatic crises.

3. Reputational losses
A person can be discredited by using his “image” in a compromising context. Even if the fake is exposed, the consequences may remain – the Internet “does not forget”.

4. Blackmail and cyberbullying
Deepfakes can be used to threaten, distribute fake intimate videos, and pressure individuals, especially women and public figures.

Artificial intelligence is no longer the future, but the present. This is especially evident in the field of transport. What used to seem like science fiction — cars without drivers, logistics without human intervention, “smart” roads — has become a reality. And although there are still problems and debates, AI is already changing the way we move, deliver goods and manage transport systems.

What is an autopilot really?
Many people imagine an autopilot as a magical “drive and forget” mode. But behind this function is a complex AI system that combines:

Cameras, sensors and radars — to analyze the environment.

Object recognition algorithms — to “see” pedestrians, traffic lights, markings, cars.

Decision-making system — to determine the speed, route, respond to changes.

Machine learning — to constantly improve the model based on accumulated experience.

This is not just an “automatic cruise control”, but a full-fledged digital driver who navigates the real world, makes decisions and controls the car almost like a person.

Where are autopilots already working?
Tesla is the most famous brand with an autopilot. In FSD (Full Self-Driving) mode, the system controls the car from start to parking. While the driver must be behind the wheel, in some cases the system drives the car almost completely by itself.

Waymo (Google) has already launched a driverless taxi in Arizona. Without a driver. At all. Cars drive along pre-developed routes, and AI processes the situation on the road itself.

Cruise (GM) and Zoox (Amazon) are testing driverless cars in San Francisco and Las Vegas.

Buses and trucks with autopilot – autonomous trucks are being tested in Europe and Asia, plying highways and ports. Some are already in commercial operation.

Why does transport need AI?
AI in transport is not just a trend, but a necessary step towards safe, efficient and sustainable mobility. Here are some key benefits:

Safety: According to the WHO, more than 90% of road accidents are caused by human error. Fatigue, alcohol, distraction — cars do not suffer from these.

Saving time and resources: AI optimizes the route, avoids traffic jams, reduces fuel consumption.

Accessibility: people with disabilities are able to move without assistance.

Cost reduction: logistics, taxis and cargo transportation can become cheaper by eliminating the need for a driver.

How does AI help in logistics?
AI in transport is not only autopilots, but also “smart” logistics. Already now:

Amazon and DHL use AI to plan delivery routes.

AI warehouse management systems coordinate the movement of forklifts, drones and robots.

Airlines use AI to calculate optimal routes, minimize delays, and optimally distribute fuel.

Examples where AI did not fail
Waymo has recorded more than 20 million km of travel without serious incidents. Their AI system successfully avoided drunk pedestrians, responded to aggressive drivers, and independently found detours during accidents.

Tesla has already demonstrated how autopilot saves from a head-on collision or a car suddenly driving into the oncoming lane. The car instantly assesses the situation and brakes – faster than a person.

Machines have long been beating us at chess, calculating faster than any human, and tirelessly managing processes in factories. But the last decade has brought a truly unexpected turn: artificial intelligence has begun to enter the world of creativity. It composes music, writes poetry, generates paintings, and even participates in art exhibitions. And the question increasingly arises: can a machine be a real artist?

What is creative thinking?
Before answering the main question, let’s figure out what it means to be creative. Creativity is the ability to generate new, original, and valuable ideas, and to express them in a form that evokes emotion, reflection, or admiration. Intuition, experience, feelings, and even mistakes are all involved in this process. Human creativity is not always logical – that’s its magic.

How does AI create art?
AI does not “create” in the usual sense — it analyzes huge amounts of data (pictures, music, texts), identifies patterns, and then generates new content that looks original. For example:

Midjourney and DALL E create images based on text descriptions.

AIVA composes Mozart-style music or 80s-style electronics.

ChatGPT writes poetry, stories, sketches, and even film scripts.

And all this — without inspiration, without experiences, without personal history. Only statistics, algorithms, and probabilities.

Is art a technique or an emotion?
Here begins the main philosophical confrontation. On the one hand, AI really does create visually and technically high-quality things. Some works look so expressive that they are difficult to distinguish from human ones. Paintings generated entirely by AI have already been sold at auctions for tens of thousands of dollars.

On the other hand, critics say: art is not a form, but an internal experience. A person puts personal pain, joy, memories, doubts, and faith into creativity. A machine is just a data transformer. It can reproduce style, but it is not capable of experiencing. It imitates, but does not feel.

Examples of AI success in creativity
The portrait “Edmond de Belamy”, created by AI from the French collective Obvious, was sold at Christie’s auction for $432,500.

Music albums created with the participation of AI are already appearing on Spotify and other platforms.

The robot poet ChatGPT wins prizes at competitions where the jury does not suspect that the text was not written by a person.

Artificial intelligence has long ceased to be science fiction. Today, it writes texts, draws pictures, composes music, and even helps write code. One of the most striking examples of such technology is ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence model developed by OpenAI. But how does it actually work? Let’s figure it out as simply as possible.

What is ChatGPT?
ChatGPT is a large language model. Its main task is to understand and generate human speech. It can maintain a dialogue, answer questions, explain complex things, and even joke. But at the same time, it is not a person or a conscious intelligence, but a set of mathematical algorithms trained on a huge number of texts.

What does “language model” mean?
Simply put, a language model is a program that predicts the next word in a sentence based on the previous words. For example, if you say, “I’m going to…”, the model will guess that the next word might be “shop”, “school”, or “park”. It chooses the most likely option – and builds entire paragraphs of text this way.

What are these models trained on?
ChatGPT was trained on huge volumes of text: books, articles, websites, dialogues, codes, and much more. All this is necessary for the model to “see” as many language patterns, topics, wording, and communication styles as possible.

It’s important to understand: it doesn’t remember texts like a person. Instead, it calculates patterns. It doesn’t “know” that the Earth is round – it just “saw” that such a statement is common, and reproduces it as a logical answer.

What’s inside ChatGPT?
ChatGPT is based on the GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer) architecture. It’s a complex neural network, but you don’t have to delve into the technical details to understand the main point.

Generative — it can generate text.

Pre-trained — first it is trained on a large amount of data, and then further trained for specific tasks.

Transformer — a type of neural network that can analyze context. That is, understand not just individual words, but the meaning of entire phrases and paragraphs.

It is transformers that made it possible for ChatGPT to support a coherent and logical dialogue.

How does a conversation with ChatGPT happen?
When you write a message, it turns into a set of numbers — the so-called tokens. These tokens are fed to the model, which “thinks about” them (in fact, runs them through many layers of the neural network), and then gives a response, again in the form of tokens. These tokens are translated back into the text that you read.
