Which jobs are most under threat from artificial intelligence?
About this episode
Since the launch of ChatGPT in November 2022, artificial intelligence has transformed how many workers go about their jobs on a daily basis. AI developments are certainly exciting to many people, but there’s also a lot of nervousness out there, due to the inevitability that AI-based automation will end up replacing some parts of human work in a lot of fields. In January 2024, the IMF issued a cautionary report titled AI Will Transform the Global Economy. Let’s Make Sure It Benefits Humanity. It suggested that 40% of jobs worldwide will be impacted by AI, a figure that could reach 60% in more advanced economies. Are some of those jobs at risk? What about creative fields? What about jobs that require human interaction, like teaching? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
