Bild-Zeitung dismisses more than 200 employees: AI is moving in

Bild-Zeitung dismisses more than 200 employees: AI is moving in : The number of dismissals is in the "low" three-digit range, according to company circles. "Low" can mean: 200 employees have to go. One "efforts" to "avoid operational dismissals and find socially acceptable solutions," says an e-mail signed by the "Bild" editors-in-chief Marion Horn and Robert Schneider, the head of the "Bild" group, Claudius Senst, and the "Bild" managing director Christoph Eck-Schmidt. The fact that Springer no longer discusses the use of AI, but carries it out, makes it clear in the passage of the mail, in which it says that "unfortunately you also have to part with colleagues who have tasks that are replaced by AI and/or processes in the digital world or do not find themselves in this new constellation with their current skills".

As a sci-fi writer, does that give you pause? I think that these are inevitable developments, but how we use them and approach them is what's not inevitable.

That's what we can choose, and I'm going to choose to be excited about something that we've created together, cumulatively, because [generative AI tools are] basically based on all of our writing together, even people who don't think of themselves as writers. It's learned from you.
