Microsoft has unveiled the occupations most vulnerable to displacement by Artificial Intelligence (AI). Among them are interpreters, translators, historians, sales representatives, and telemarketers. Conversely, there are job roles deemed least susceptible to automation, such as rail-track laying and maintenance equipment operators, surgical assistants, massage therapists, and dishwashers.
Kiran Tomlinson, a senior researcher at Microsoft, emphasized that AI chatbots could enhance job tasks rather than entirely replace human roles. The study introduces an AI applicability score to gauge the compatibility between AI capabilities and job functions, emphasizing the potential for AI to reshape work processes.
Tomlinson highlighted that while AI can support various tasks like research, writing, and communication, it does not possess the capacity to fully replace any specific occupation. As the adoption of AI accelerates, understanding its societal and economic impacts becomes crucial for further development.
Recent research by Acas indicated that over a quarter of workers express concerns about potential job losses due to AI, with additional worries surrounding errors, regulations, environmental impacts, and data protection issues related to AI technology.
