Recent advancements in Artificial Intelligence have seen AI go from simple chatbots to super sophisticated learning programs capable of preventing fraud, offering legal advice and even making investments.
Even traditionally creative occupations like writers and artists are no longer safe as current AI models are now capable of producing instant stories and making images that are near impossible to distinguish from human work.
Now there's more worrying news as, according to a report from the investment bank, Goldman Sachs these new super-intelligent AIs could put up to 300 million jobs at risk and cause “significant disruption”.
With the advancement of AI like OpenAI’s GPT-4, Dall-E and Google's new Bard, capable of generating incredibly realistic and human-like responses, workers are worried that human resources might become a lot less human in the future.
In the report titled ‘The Potentially Large Effects of Artificial Intelligence on Economic Growth’. Goldman Sachs claims that two-thirds of current jobs could be at risk, but the impact of AI will vary across different sectors. Jobs thought to be most affected are the office and administrative roles of white-collar workers including Journalism, legal roles, architecture, engineering, management, financial operations, logistics, sales and customer services just to name a few.
