When Nasyve Beech first learned about ChatGPT, he was worried it would take away jobs. “I was like, ‘This is a replacement tool,’” the fourth-year Northeastern University student remembers thinking. But over the past few years as he’s studied the technology, he’s adopted a more even-handed mindset as he’s looked to history as a guide.
“I think we do need to be aware of the fact that the same thing happened during the first technological revolution,” he says. “We were like, ‘Oh, they are going to replace us.’ Did it? In some cases, maybe. However, we upskilled our workers and we were able to meet the talent challenge.” Beech has now learned how one country on the other side of the world is adopting that human-centered approach.
