- The new Microsoft research document identifies the domains where AI is already the most used
- It also shows areas that AI has very little influence on
- Research could show potential for the increase in AI jobs, not just replacement
I don’t know about you, but I have this kind of fear harassed that AI comes for me one of these days. If it is not imminent, then in the very close future. One thing that could appease this fear is to know exactly where the ax of AI will fall on the labor market, so that I can make sure that I am always just out of its reach.
The problem is at the moment, we have many people who make daring assumptions about the types of jobs that AI will take away, but as we all know, no plan survives in contact with the enemy, it could therefore be preferable to approach the problem of another direction.
A new report by Microsoft Research analyzed 200,000 real conversations between people and the co -pilot to understand how AI is used by people in the workplace at the moment. In this way, we can determine which roles are likely to be the most affected because companies adopt a generative AI in the future.
Most at risk
It is not surprising that the jobs that the report identified as the most common work activities are looking for assistance in terms of AI for all involves collecting information and writing, and that the most common activities that AI performs provide information and assistance, writing, teaching and advice.
It turns out that interpreters and translators are at the top of the list with regard to compatibility with AI, with 98% of their activities that overlap with frequent co -pilot tasks that have fairly high completion rates.
So, if you are thinking of changing careers to become a translator, it might be useful to consider your options. Historians, writers and authors and journalists are also at the top of the list. It should not be surprising to also see rereaders, publishers and public relations specialists at the top of the list.
The most resistant to AI
These are physical professions involving working with people most resistant to the influence of AI. The report puts nursing assistants, massage therapists and machine operators, including truck and tractors drivers, such as the most resistant to AI professions. Manual workers such as roofers, dishwasher, maid and housekeeping cleaners were also at the top of the list.
The news will be good for some jobs, but terrible for others. Of course, nothing is guaranteed, and if you work in one of the most compatible areas for AI (I know I am!), So don’t panic for the moment because research could simply indicate that your region is ripe for AI increase, rather than replacement.
I think there will always be a need for humans qualified to a certain extent, even in fields which will be strongly dominated by AI. That said, understanding the impact of AI on jobs will probably put you in a better position than if you have no idea of its threats.
