The Effect of AI Across the US and How to Adjust

Whatever you look artificial intelligence is present. In order to get a handle on how and where this technology, and automation in general, will impact U.S. workers, the Brookings Institute analyzed data in a variety of industries, geographies, and demographic groups across the country. "The next phase of automation, increasingly involving AI, seems like it should be manageable in the aggregate labor market, though there are many sources of uncertainty," said Mark Muro, senior fellow and lead author of the report. "With that said, the potential effects will vary significantly across occupations, regions, and demographic groups, which means that policymakers, industry, and society as a whole needs to focus much more than they are on ensuring the coming transitions will work for all of those affected." The report, titled Automation and Artificial Intelligence: How machines are affecting people and places, concluded that by 2030, some 25% of U.S. employment will have experienced high exposure to automation.
