Amazon CEO Andy Jassi recently announced that her company Wood reduces its workforce as Artificial Intelligence (AI) replaces human employees.
So they warned AI will affect a wide range of jobs And area.
Jassi is not alone, as many other technical firms have issued a similar warning as to how AI Breastthrrow can reopen its workforce.
In May, the CEO of AI Startup Anthropic told the American News website in Arlington, Virginia Axis AI can erase half of all entry level white-collar jobs over the next one to five years.
American public company, in fact, has reduced the number of its white -collar employees by 3.5% in the last three years, Wall Street Journal Report, citing employment data provider live data technologies. In the last decade, one of the five companies in S&P 500 has shrunk.
Several technical companies including Microsoft, Hewlett Packard and Proctor & Gamble have announced the retrenchment of thousands of workers in the last several months.
Recently, retail service provider Shopify said that teams requesting additional employees will first need to prove that AI cannot demonstrate tasks.
Duullingo, a language learning app, is gradually planning to replace its external workers with AI.
Fear of unemployed on a large scale
Economic Cooperation and Development Organization (OECD) estimate A quarter of jobs worldwide is at high risk of replacing AI automation.
But so AI is expected to create new opportunities and increase productivity.
Earlier this year a report by the World Economic Forum forecast This technical change wood displaces about 92 million existing jobs by 2030, while making 170 million new. Jobs in developed economies want more affected than AI than developing people.
A study published by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) last year found that Technology can affect 60% jobs in developed economies – About half of them will appear negatively, while the other half will show positive effects.
The report concluded that about 40% of jobs in emerging markets and 26% of jobs in low -income countries would be hit.
But when these thesis reduce a small initial impact from the labor market AI, they are very low to benefit from AI’s promise productivity.
Who wants to impress?
During the previous technical successes, low-skilled and blue-collar workers bored the most brutal, such as the workers are being replaced by robots on the factory floor floor.
But comprehensive AI adoption is expected to work hard to work hard, white -collar workers, especially with the tasks that can perform on the same or better quality than the AI activist.
Found in a study conducted by Pew Research Center in America The business associated with information and data analysis will be at high risk of replacement by AI, collecting and data analysis, such as web developers, technical writers, accountants and data entry workers.
Laboratory-intensive jobs cannot be easily automated, such as construction workers, child care activists and firefighters, expected to remain the most flexible.
The possibility of large -scale job loss has given rise to concerns on appointment and disintegrating effects of AI on society, attracted the attention of politicians and even religious leaders, with the head of the Catholic Church in May, warned AI after the danger for jobs and human dignity.
Is it a matter of concern?
Labor Market Expert Angeo Weber of the Institute of Employment Research (IAB) in Nurmberg, Germany believes that concerns over job losses are wrong.
Speaking with DW, he said that AI progresses a wide range of economic possibilities and is more liekkey to help workers.
Wabber said, “AI mainly changes work, but it is not original, it does not end it,” In most cases the technique helps human workers “do theKK tasks rather than developing and changing new tasks.”
a paper Harvard Economists David Deming, Christopher Ong and Lawrence H. Shared a similar approach published in January by Summers.
Economists argue that the automation of individual job functions “does not reduce the essential employment” and even “job benefits in some sectors of the economy”.
He said, “In principle, one can already work, make workers so much more productive that enlarged outputs can overcome the fact that some of their work is now being done,” he said in paper.
Emphasizing that AI likes to have an impact “broad and long -lasting”, although he has written “History” the youth. If AI interrupts the labor market, its effect will come out in the decades of the eye. ,
Adapted to a changing technical landscape
Given that Artificial Intelligence Technology is still in its early stale, its accurate long -standing impact on global labor markets is uncertain.
The efficacy of many AI devices depends on how well they are integrated into the workplaces, and the ability to use the will and ability of the workers.
If workers avoid making full use of AI out of anxiety for their jobs, it can compromise productivity that promotes new technology celebrities.
Labor Market expert Weber urges companies and workers to suit the changing technology landscape and seize opportunities as AI technology is a “game changer” for them.
“it [technology] The opportunity presents, but needs to be confiscated. Further development and active training of workers are necessary. Not only to maintain speed, but also to move as possible. ,
