- Experts say ChatGPT and associated AI could threaten certain jobs, particularly white-collar jobs.
- This could be done by automating mid-career and intermediate-capacity work.
- Business Insider has compiled a list of 10 jobs that this technology could replace, according to experts.
Since its release in November 2022, OpenAI ChatGPT was used for write cover letters, create a children’s bookAnd even help students cheat on their essays.
The chatbot may be more powerful than we ever imagined. Google found that, in theory, the search engine would hire the bot as an entry-level coder. if he had an interview at the company.
Amazon employees who tested ChatGPT said he does a “very good job” answering customer support questions, is “great” at creating training materials, and is “very good” at answering questions about strategy business.
Businesses are taking note. Both IBM and the British telecommunications giant BT Group cited AI when announcing job cuts earlier this year – and said many would not return.
A recent study from Goldman Sachs found that generative AI tools could, in fact, impact 300 million full-time jobs worldwide, potentially leading to “significant disruption” to the job market.
By 2030, nearly 12 million Americans working in occupations in declining demand could I have to change jobs, according to a McKinsey analysis published in July. AI is considered a key reason: McKinsey estimates that 30% of hours worked in the United States could be automated by 2030.
Human judgment must be applied to these technologies to avoid errors and bias, Anu Madgavkar, a partner at the McKinsey Global Institute, told Business Insider. ChatGPT users have found that the bot can generate disinformation, answer coding problems incorrectlyAnd produce errors in basic mathematics.
“We need to think of these as productivity-enhancing tools, rather than complete replacements,” Madgavkar said.
Business Insider spoke with experts and conducted research to compile a list of jobs most at risk of being replaced by AI.
