Cayce Myers joined Virginia Tech’s “Curious Conversations” to field questions on artificial intelligence (AI) and its impact on the workforce, regulations, copyright law, and more.
About Myers
Myers is a professor and graduate director in the School of Communication. His work focuses on media history, political communication, and laws that affect public relations practice.
Three takeaways from the conversation
- The rise of artificial intelligence has many similarities with other historical technological advances that have caused disruptive workforce changes. The types of jobs it is impacting, however, makes it different.
- Myers believes the use of generative artificial intelligence will be normalized in many professions within the next year or two.
- Educators are also at an inflection point of trying to find the balance between preparing students to work with the latest technology without having them become completely reliant on it.
