Microsoft AI chief says human office jobs could be replaced in 18 months. Are you at risk?

With artificial intelligence (AI) transforming workplace culture and industry, Microsoft AI chief Mustafa Suleyman has claimed that most of the white-collar jobs could vanish within the next 12 to 18 months. Mustafa Suleyman told the Financial Times that accounting, legal work, marketing, and project management are vulnerable to being replaced or automated by AI. Suleyman predicted “human-level performance on most, if not all professional tasks” being done by AI. Most tasks that involve “sitting down at a computer” will be fully automated by AI within the next year or 18 months, he said.
