The use of AI in media circles is on the rise, and there is usually consternation that comes with that. But Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott doesn’t believe the situation is as dire as some are led to believe.
During a speaking engagement at the University of South Carolina, Scott was asked by FOX & Friends co-host Lawrence Jones about the rise of AI. She told students at the College of Information and Communications that she believes the entire picture about artificial intelligence isn’t always shared.
“I actually believe there’s too much doomerism in the storytelling of AI,” said Scott. “I actually think AI tools are rapidly growing and anybody who’s young should be getting themselves educated about different AI tools in different industries and how they’re going to be using them.”
She continued by noting that she doesn’t expect jobs to be widely slashed as the abilities of artificial intelligence continue to increase. But she did say that those who are able — and eager — to adapt to changes are better equipped to succeed going forward.
“To me, AI is not a job eliminator,” Scott concluded. “You have to embrace change. It’s here, there are tools that are going to help you do your job more efficiently, more strategically.”
