The winners and losers in the next phase of digital transformation :

The winners (no surprises here) :
“AI and Machine Learning Specialists top the list of fast-growing jobs, followed by Sustainability Specialists, Business Intelligence Analysts and Information Security Analysts. Renewable Energy Engineers, and Solar Energy Installation and System Engineers ….”

The losers (also no surprises) :
“ … clerical or secretarial roles, with Bank Tellers and Related Clerks, Postal Service Clerks, Cashiers and Ticket Clerks, and Data Entry Clerks expected to decline fastest”

I'd like to see more transparency In terms of the models and the training data - the idea that nobody understands the emergent capabilities and can look inside the black box is a big worry.

Finally - I worry that people will hijack this open letter to simply slow down the competition or, in the case of Elon Musk - scuttle OpenAI because he feels he's been wronged.
