Soft skills are the biggest challenge of artificial intelligence

Karina Nguyen, an Openai researcher, believes that skills such as creativity and emotional intelligence will remain the most difficult capabilities to teach artificial intelligence. Formerly operating at Anthropic Company, after seeing the progress of the Claude artificial intelligence model in programming, he changed his career from engineering to research.

Challenges to learn soft skills by artificial intelligence

In an interview with Lenny’s Podcast, Angvin emphasized that soft skills will remain valuable despite widespread changes in jobs. Referring to the challenges in artificial intelligence research, he said, “I think the activists in this field should be more creative and be able to communicate between different areas.”

Angvin believes that artificial intelligence primarily automates duplicate tasks, but faces serious challenges in understanding and imitating the skills that are natural in humans.

“The dream of any artificial intelligence researcher is the automation of the research process in this area, but it may be a little scary,” he said. This makes the management and emotional intelligence skills remain essential; “Because these are one of the toughest skills to teach models.”

Angvin, currently operating in Openai, is mainly involved in the management and guidance of the research teams. He said the reason for his job redirection was to see the rapid progress of artificial intelligence models in skills such as programming.

Researchers’ job redirection and future career

Angvin also pointed to the continuous progress of artificial intelligence models, saying smaller models are now in many cases more smarter than larger models; As a result, the costs of this technology have been reduced and artificial intelligence has become more and more accessible. He added:

“For example, in the health sector, we may no longer need to see a physician for initial diagnosis. “Simply give our symptoms to ChatGPT and ask if we have a cold or we have another disease.”

Angvin explained that he still thinks about his career in a world that is affected by artificial intelligence. “If the models I work on, someday make my job automatically, I might turn to writing science-fiction stories or working in the museum. I have a lot of options. “
