The latest breakthroughs in artificial intelligence could lead to the automation of a quarter of the work done in the US and eurozone, according to research by Goldman Sachs.
The investment bank said on Monday that “generative” AI systems such as ChatGPT, which can create content that is indistinguishable from human output, could spark a productivity boom that would eventually raise annual global gross domestic product by 7 percent over a 10-year period. But if the technology lived up to its promise, it would also bring “significant disruption” to the labor market, exposing the equivalent of 300 million full-time workers across big economies to automation, according to Joseph Briggs and Devesh Kodnani, the paper’s authors. Lawyers and administrative staff would be among those at greatest risk of becoming redundant. https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2023/03/generative-ai-set-to-affect-300-million-jobs-across-major-economies/ |

| Sure. All those are middle men professions and dont create anything. Don't create food or products or art. |

You do realize that many jobs in CS/tech will also become redundant in the future? Plummers will probably have better job security than software developers.... |

mid to low level programming have already been impacted by offshoring. But, higher level CS work still requires smart people, not to mention people who need to make decisions and manage the program. |

Love this dude...even though the established research lists dozens of other professions more vulnerable to AI (lawyers, accountants, mathematicians, interpreters, authors, copywriters...et al), it always comes back only to the CS positions. Seems like we will all be able to hire plumbers, electricians, contractors, etc. for cheap since the country will be swimming in them. |

Majority of managers, administrative staff, financial, accounting etc. positions will not be necessary... |

| Any job where the work product is delivered via computer is vulnerable. People who argue that their little niche is safe are just burying their heads in the sand |

| One funny thing with these generative AIs is we do not need MODELS or actors. We can create better looking models/actors who can smile better and act better and virtually frww! Will Hollywood disappear? |
