AI will transform work more than replace jobs, study finds
Despite fears of an impending wave of job losses, a new study shows the impact of AI on the labor market will be more nuanced.
The rise of generative AI tools in recent years has led to fears of an inevitable jobs apocalypse -- a wave of automation akin to the Industrial Revolution that pushes massive quantities of humans out of the workforce. The findings echo a July paper from Microsoft, which similarly found that roles requiring the kind of repetitive information-processing at which large language models excel, like translation and customer service, were more likely to be replaced by the technology. Rather than enforcing a top-down approach to implementing generative AI throughout the workplace, it could very well turn out to be much more effective to give individual employees the freedom and flexibility to start using the technology in a manner that's best-suited to their particular roles.
