- Microsoft’s new research document identifies areas where AI is already being used more
- It also shows areas in which AI has very little influence on
- Research could show potential for the increase in the work of AI, not just replacement
I don’t know about you, but I have this kind of fear that one of these days comes for me. If it is not imminent, then in the very close future. One thing that could dissipate that fear is knowing exactly where the AI ax will fall in the labor market, so that I can make sure that I am always out of reach.
The problem is that at this time we have many people who make bold assumptions about what kind of work will take away the AI, but as we all know, no plan survives contact with the enemy, so it could better address the problem from another direction.
A new Microsoft Research report has analyzed 200,000 real conversations between people and co -pilot to understand how AI is being used by people in the workplace at this time. In this way, we can determine which roles are probably the most affected as companies adopt generative in the future.
The greatest risk
It should not surprise that the works that the report identified as the most common work activities that people seek assistance to all involve collecting information and writing, and that the most common activities that AI is doing is providing information and assistance, writing, teaching and advice.
It turns out that the interpreters and translators are at the top of the list when it comes to AI compatibility, with a surprising 98% of their activities that overlap with frequent co -filled tasks that have quite high completion rates.
So, if you are thinking of changing career to become a translator, it can be worth considering your options. Also at the top of the list are historians, writers and authors and journalists. We should not surprise us also to see the correctors, editors and specialists in public relations on the list too.
The most resistant to AI
They are the physical trades that involve working with people who are more resistant to the influence of AI. The report places nursing assistants, massage therapists and machinery operators, including truck and tractor drivers, such as the most resistant occupations of AI. Manual workers such as roofs, dishwasher, maids and cleaning cleaners were also near the top of the list.
The news will be good for some works, but terrible to others. Of course, nothing is guaranteed, and if it is working in one of the most compatible areas for AI (I know I am!), Then it is not scared at this time because the investigation could simply indicate that its area is mature for the increase in AI, instead of replacing.
I think there will always be a need for qualified humans in some way, even in areas that will be very dominated by AI. That said, understanding the impact of AI on works will probably put it in a better position than if you have no idea of its threats.
