It was already suspected, it was already seen coming, but now that an artificial intelligence development company says which jobs are most likely to disappear, it is somewhat terrifying. OpenAI says that AI will affect 80% of the jobs we know today.
This company is the ‘culprit’ of the popular chatbot ChatGPT that has crept into our daily lives like water through the sewers. OpenAI has calculated the exposure of different jobs to AI, and the figures are revealing and worrying for many.
The study on the work of OpenAI
Using the recently released GPT-4, the Linguistic Machine Learning Model (LLM), alongside human experience, the researchers studied the implications of artificial intelligence on the job market.
Although there are already other studies in this regard, such as the one carried out by Goldman Sachs, this causes a stir for being made with the same technology that could end these jobs. However, OpenAI researchers indicate that this document is not a prediction.
The results? They found that at least 80% of active jobs and at least 10% of your job tasks will be affected by AI by GTPs. Just as 19% of workers will see how approximately 50% of their duties will be affected.
The article that examines the ‘exposure’ from work tasks to artificial intelligence “without distinguishing between the effects of augmentation or displacement of labor”.
Researchers and study authors from OpenAI, OpenResearch, and the University of Pennsylvania defined the ‘exposure’ as a measure, similar to those we know as force, speed, among others. However, this new one serves to measure whether access to a system powered by GPT could at least halve the time it takes a human being to perform a specific task.
What jobs are more ‘exposed’?
For the study, those involved separately calculated exposure from different occupations. So, the language model labeled 86 works as “fully exposed”.
The latter means, according to the authors, that full exposure does not mean that AI can completely replace the work of a person. But, yes, the GPT could save “a significant amount of time to perform a large part of its tasks.”
The flesh-and-blood researchers labeled 15 professions as fully exposed, while the AI went further with 86.
The professions that humans considered 100 percent exposed are:
- mathematicians
- tax preparers
- Financial Quantitative Analysts
- Writers and Authors
- Web and digital interface designers
Other top professions listed by humans were:
- 84.4% – Survey researchers
- 82.5% – Writers and Authors
- 82.4% – Interpreters and Translators
- 80.6% – Public Relations
- 77.8% – Zootechnics
For its part, the AI listed the following professions as 100 percent exposed:
- mathematicians
- Accountants and Auditors
- News analysts, reporters and journalists
- Legal Secretaries and Administrative Assistants
- clinical data administrators
- Climate change policy analysts
The AI also found that these jobs were more than 90 percent exposed:
- postmen
- Blockchain Engineers
- Court reporters and simultaneous subtitlers
- Proofreaders and proofreaders
Lastly, it was also found that higher paying jobs will have a higher exposure to GPT. However, at the other extreme, jobs with lower salaries, such as maintenance, cooks, mechanics, bricklayers, packers, among others, do not have this drawback. But, still, it will spread to almost all industries.
On the other hand, Italy It has been the first country in the West to ban ChatGPT, while it has already been blocked in several countries such as China, North Korea, Iran and Russia.
