The rapid increase in the use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools, specifically large language models (LLMs), has caused concern among those who oppose AI. This is especially true as ChatGPT and similar models have gained immense popularity this year.
A recent study undertaken by the UK Department of Education suggests that the apprehensive claims of “Ah, AI is threatening our employment!” are, in fact, valid. As per the principal investigators, artificial intelligence has the potential to automate approximately 30% of jobs.
According to the survey, the increasing use of AI has a significant impact on jobs in the fields of finance, law, business, management, and clerical work.
Here are the specific jobs that are at risk:
- Business analysts and management consultants
- Financial managers and directors
- Charted and certified accountants
- Psychologists
- Purchasing managers and directors
- Economists, statisticians, actuaries
- Business and financial project management professionals
- Finance and investment analysts, advisors
- Legal professionals
- Business and related associate professionals
- Credit controllers
- Solicitors
- Civil engineers
- Education advisors and school inspectors
- HR and administrative occupations
- Business, research, and administrative professionals
- Financial account managers
- Bookkeepers, payroll managers, and wages clerks
- National government administrative occupations
- Marketing associate professionals
Athletes, roofers, elementary construction jobs, plasterers, steel erectors, and car cleaners; these are some of the professions that will be least affected by artificial intelligence, according to the report.
