“AI’s Godfather,” says that when it comes to taking AI’s replacement, some fields are safer than others.
78 -year -old Jeffrey Hunton is often called AI’s godfather, which began in the late 1970s, because of his important work on nerve networks. He won the 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics for his work on machine learning and is currently Professor Emirates in Computer Science at Toronto University.
In a recent interview about the Podcast “Diary of CEO” broadcast on Monday, Hunton said that AI has the ability to create widespread unemployment.
“I think for worldly intellectual labor, Ai will only replace everyone,” said Hunton. “The worldwide intellectual labor “refers to white -collar jobs. He made it clear that the alternative would take the form of a “one person and AI assistant” that was “working” the work that “ten people did before.”

Hunton cited an example, noting that Para Leagues threatened to lose his job, and said that he would “panic” because of automation’s ability to work in the call center. However, he pointed out that it would take longer to replace the Blue Collar work AI.
“I would say that before (AI), before (AI), is so good in the manipulation,” Hunton said in the podcast. “So, a good condition would be to be a plumber.”
In the interview, Hunton also challenged the idea that AI would generate new jobs, which states that if AI in automatic intellectual tasks, some jobs will be left to do to people.
“You have to be very skilled to get a job that (AI) couldn’t just do,” said Hunton.

AI has the ability to reduce hiring services, especially for admission level jobs. According to a report released last month from the Venture Capital Firm Signal Fire, big -tech companies have stopped hiring new graduates for admission -level roles as they did in the past, and AI is one of the main reasons for this shortage.
The report states that the percentage of new graduate services in companies like Meta and Google decreased from 2023 to 2024, which reached only 7 % in 2024.

This is not just the tech industry – Wall Street also shows signs of AI influence. In March, Morgan Stanley announced a holiday of 2,000 employees, and some intended to replace AI. According to a Bloomberg Intelligence report in January, AI could lead to more than 200,000 jobs in 93 major banks, including City Group and JP Morgan, over the next five years.
