There is much talk these days about AI, about what it's capable of and how it's progressing. There's push-back against its use and in what ways it's going to affect people's jobs, especially in the creative and technology spaces. It's completely normal to be concerned about new technology, especially technology as revolutionary as AI. However, whatever someone's opinion on it may be, AI is inevitable.
On the creative side, big businesses won't be as squeamish about using it as individuals. They'll use it to speed up their pipelines and lower production costs, especially in industries like movies and TV where AI, once it's advanced enough, will be able to replace whole teams of people, simplify set design, and probably play a role in the editing process too.
On the technology side, it's clear there are going to be companies that exploit the tech of AI to its fullest, whatever that means and however that looks for them. They'll also be looking to streamline and might even turn to AI to help think of new things they haven't thought of before.
One thing is certain though: If the US doesn't use and advance AI, some other country will, and then the US will be at a technological disadvantage. Something the US and US-based companies don't want. So of course all the various facets of AI will continue to be developed if for no other reason than to maintain a competitive advantage.
So while concerns about AI are certainly understandable, it's far too late to stuff the technology back in a box and forget it exists. At this point it's something that's going to continue to be developed and the best everyone can do, if it intersects with their field in some way, is to find whatever ways they can to work with it and integrate it into their work while still maintaining their own human control over the project, using the AI as a tool to help them create rather than doing the outright creation for them.
