The Profession Most at Risk Due to Artificial Intelligence Has Been Revealed
A new study by the Microsoft Research team has identified the profession most threatened by AI, based on the tasks most frequently assigned to artificial intelligence.
Perhaps not immediately, but in the near future, many of us worry about losing our jobs to AI. A new study reveals which professions are likely to succumb to artificial intelligence first in the near future.
Microsoft Research conducted an interesting study to better understand how AI is being used in the business world. The team analyzed 200,000 conversations between humans and Copilot, thereby seeking clues as to which professions might be most affected by AI in the future.
Translation Is the Profession Most at Risk
According to the research results, people most frequently ask AI for help with tasks like information gathering and writing. The most common things AI does are providing information, writing, teaching, and consulting.
Delving deeper into the conversations, the study indicates that translators and interpreters are among the professions that will be most affected. This is because 98% of their work directly overlaps with tasks frequently performed by Copilot. It’s believed that these professions will be handed over to AI in the near future through certain automations.
Professions Requiring Physical Skills Are Safe
On the other hand, the most long-term sustainable jobs against AI generally involve direct human interaction and physical skills. Professions such as nurses, therapists, truck and lorry drivers, who are in direct contact with machines or people, are safe for now.
As an editor, my personal opinion is that no matter how much AI develops, there will still be a need for talented people in many fields. However, knowing what we are up against through such studies and the time we spend with AI is as important as being prepared.
