At the Defcon hacker conference, over 2,000 people participated in a challenge to uncover harms and biases in AI chatbots, revealing vulnerabilities that companies can now address before wider deployment. Meanwhile, demand for AI talent is driving up salaries, with companies paying top dollar to recruit machine learning engineers and other roles. A World Economic Forum report predicts that while new technologies will disrupt 85 million jobs globally, they will also create 97 million new roles by 2026. The report finds that entry-level employees are already seeing the biggest impacts from generative AI, as it augments rather than replaces roles.
