Microsoft's head of AI says white‑collar jobs could vanish "within the next 12 to 18 months" — as automation bots replace you

Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman.

As generative AI becomes more prevalent worldwide, job security is increasingly becoming a threat to many professionals. Amid security and privacy concerns, organizations are regularly integrating AI into their workflows and automating repetitive and redundant tasks, allowing professionals to focus on what really matters (in theory).

I think that we're going to have a human-level performance on most, if not all, professional tasks. So white-collar work, where you're sitting down at a computer, either being a lawyer or an accountant or a project manager or a marketing person most of those tasks will be fully automated by an AI within the next 12 to 18 months.
