Impact of ChatGPT on Pakistan
Generative artificial intelligence (AI) refers to artificial intelligence that can
generate new data, such as text, images, or music, based on patterns learned from
existing data. This is achieved through techniques such as deep learning and neural
networks. Generative artificial intelligence has the potential to have significant
impacts, both positive and negative, on job markets in developing countries. An
example of generative artificial intelligence is ChatGPT, which has revolutionized
the use of artificial intelligence.
According to the World Economic Forum,
two-thirds of jobs in developing countries could be lost to automation. This could
have major implications for Pakistan's population and government stability.
Furthermore, lack of education and technology in Pakistan may exacerbate the adverse
effects of job losses caused by artificial intelligence automation.
It is
important to note that the impact of generative artificial intelligence on the
Pakistani job market is likely to be complex and multifaceted, and will depend on a
variety of factors, such as the specific industry and job type covered by government
policies and regulations. This could disproportionately affect low-skilled workers
and those without access to education and training in AI-related fields.
On
the positive side, generative artificial intelligence can help the Pakistani economy
by increasing efficiency and productivity. It automates specific tasks, such as data
analysis and decision-making, and improves efficiency in manufacturing and
agriculture. This can increase productivity and economic growth.
Additionally, in Pakistan, where unemployment is already high, the use of generative
artificial intelligence in developing countries could create new jobs in AI-related
fields such as data analytics, software development, and machine learning. Plus, it
can help improve healthcare. It can be used to analyze large amounts of medical data
to improve the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. This could improve healthcare
outcomes and increase access to healthcare in developing countries.
Also, it
can help improve education. It can be used to create a personalized learning
experience for students. This can improve educational outcomes and increase access
to education in developing countries.
It is worth noting that the positive
impact of artificial intelligence in Pakistan will depend on the availability of
resources such as electricity, internet access, and skilled labor, as well as
government policies and regulations. Because a lot of investment in artificial
intelligence comes from a handful of countries. Countries that have already
developed are getting a head start.
The U.S. government has invested about
$100 million in artificial intelligence R&D through the National Artificial
Intelligence Research and Development Strategic Plan. Other countries, such as the
European Union, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, are investing in artificial
intelligence, but their investment is relatively smaller than that of the United
States.
Therefore, Pakistan should strive to improve the environment for
artificial intelligence implementation. Pakistan's education system needs updating
or millions of children will be out of school.
Artificial intelligence has
the potential to have a significant impact on work, which will make implementing
artificial intelligence in organizations difficult. It will present two types of
challenges for Pakistan. If pakistan is going to implement artificial intelligence
technology, low skilled people will lose their jobs and if pakistan doesn't
implement artificial intelligence in organization, it won't be able to compete with
the world. Therefore, Pakistan's policy should invest in science and technology
education. Investment in artificial intelligence should increase. Otherwise, it will
have long-term implications for overall security.
