The taste and human mastery will become the differentiation factor in a world where you can easily generate “ballast”, says a former Vice-President of Openai

In the era of saturation with artificial intelligence systems and tools, a former Vice -President of Openai expects the taste and human skill to make the difference between success and failure, as companies implement technology, reports Business Insider.

“The taste will become a differentiation factor in the era of artificial intelligence, because there will be a huge amount of ballast generated by AI,” said Krithika Shankarraman, former employee of Openai and Fintech Stripe, in a recent episode of Lenny's Podcast. “This power is available to anyone,” she said.

Shankarraman, who is currently working on the investment company Thrive Capital, believes that human employees should be involved at every stage of the process of launching and promoting a product, given that the instruments have, in theory, now make these important tasks much easier.

“The companies that will be distinguished are the ones that show their mastery,” she said. “Those that demonstrate an authentic product understanding, a real understanding of the client and manage to connect them in a significant way,” she said.

People should not become overly addicted to AI

Shankarraman said that you see you have a revolutionary tool and that if you do not already explore how to use it to your advantage, you risk staying behind. Understanding the “basic mechanics” of what you are trying to achieve is essential, she added, and helps to avoid an excessive addiction to AI

“This is why I believe in Stem Education (no science, technology, engineering, mathematics): because it gives you the understanding of the fundamental concepts,” said Shankarraman. “Then you have the opportunity to choose how you apply those concepts, but they have to be there, at the base,” she said.

Looking to the future, Shankarraman believes that we should encourage learning for the sake of knowledge, which will make it easier to assimilate the essential concepts.

“Because having a growth mentality, going to school to learn those concepts and understand how to apply them, it is a completely different mentality than going to school just for notes or to finish the courses,” she said.

The former Vice -President of Openai also launches a warning for companies

Although Shankarraman finally said that it is the responsibility of the individual to take responsibility for how he uses you, he still hopes for companies to take into account the responsible development of technology as models advance, and not fall into the trap of an “pride race.”

“In short, what I try to say is that all these companies have to think in a much more long-term way,” she explained.

“Because it is not a race of the best chatbot or the best results. It is about how you can become a positive force for humanity,” said the former Vice -President of Openai.
