ChatGPT-like AI systems will impact 80 percent of US jobs, with personal financial advisors and brokers, insurers and data processors at the top of the list. The warning comes from researchers at OpenAI and the University of Pennsylvania, who investigated whether the technology could complete tasks faster than humans. The team found that about 15 percent of all worker tasks could be completed significantly faster by AI and with the same level of quality. The warning comes from researchers at OpenAI and the University of Pennsylvania, who investigated whether the technology could complete tasks faster than humans. 'Exposure' means how much a job will be impacted by AI Fears of software eliminating human jobs have recently made waves across the globe following the launch of ChatGPT in November and its ability to perform eerily-human professional tasks such as writing emails and resumes.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has quite evolved itself over recent decades. While it sparked numerous innovations and brought digital disruption to many industries, it also changed the jobs market forever. It is true that AI has replaced some jobs, however, it has also brought new roles for human workers. As per a 2017 research from IDC, released by Salesforce, AI is projected to create 823,734 jobs by the year 2021, surpassing the number of jobs lost to AI technologies such as machine learning and automation. The report had also predicted that AI would increase global business revenues by US$1.1 trillion in the same time frame.

Garry Kasparov dominated chess until he was beaten by an IBM supercomputer called Deep Blue in 1997. The event made "man loses to computer" headlines the world over. Kasparov recently returned to the ballroom of the New York hotel where he was defeated for a debate with AI experts. Wired's Will Knight was there for a revealing interview with perhaps the greatest human chess player the world has ever known. "I was the first knowledge worker whose job was threatened by a machine," says Kasparov, something he foresees coming for us all.

Automation will affect the future of jobs. There's a lot of handwringing when it comes to the future of jobs. A report from the Brookings Institution, released Thursday, adds to the pile of stats suggesting we'll all be replaced by robots one day. Among the report's main findings: 25 percent of US workers will face what the report authors calls "high exposure" to automation in the next few decades. Another 36 percent -- 52 million -- will face "medium exposure."

Lawmakers are ignoring simple economics in favor of lunatic policies. If it continues, a voter revolution is guaranteed. The government shutdown continues as the debate over a border wall enters its fourth contentious week. Neither side in this has shown any sign of willingness to compromise. This remains a stalemate as of now, the very definition of it, or at least that's what it seems like from the outside.

A new Forrester Research report, Predictions 2018: Automation Alters The Global Workforce, outlines 10 predictions about the impact of AI and automation on jobs, work processes and tasks, business success and failure, and software development, cybersecurity, and regulatory compliance. We will see a surge in white-collar automation, half a million new digital workers (bots) in the US, and a shift from manual to automated IT and data management. "Companies that master automation will dominate their industries," Forrester says. Here's my summary of what Forrester predicts will be the impact of automation in 2018: Automation will eliminate 9% of US jobs but will create 2% more. In 2018, 9% of US jobs will be lost to automation, partly offset by a 2% growth in jobs supporting the "automation economy."

Tech giants Elon Musk and Mark Zuckeberg have been engaged in a very public, somewhat silly and self-indulgent battle over artificial intelligence lately. Musk has warned AI-powered robots could usher in some form of automated war to give humanity its richly deserved demise, while Zuckerberg responded by saying he is "really optimistic" it could usher a golden age of lifesaving technology. Both have traded blows, with Zuckerberg saying the doomsaying is "pretty irresponsible," and Musk tweeting he thinks the Facebook head just doesn't understand the issue. The whole thing is a little eyeroll-inducing given true AI remains a pipe dream for now, and both men stand to benefit greatly from machine learning trends which automate jobs and concentrate control of the emerging digital economy in fewer hands. Coursera cofounder Andrew Ng, a real AI researcher who used to be chief scientist at Chinese tech company Baidu, weighed in on the latter issue Tuesday.

Cooks prepare and serve food, clean workspaces, and interact with customers. But robots are already flipping burgers, and McDonalds is installing food-ordering kiosks in 2,500 stores this year. The same day that news was anounced, the iconic fast-food chain's shares hit an all-time high and analysts upgraded the stock. "Dramatic increases in labor costs have a significant effect on the restaurant industry, where profit margins are pennies on the dollar and labor makes up about a third of total expenses," says Andy Puzder, a former restaurant chain CEO, in the report. "As a result, restaurants are looking to reduce costs while maintaining service and food quality." However, the report does also outline how AI and automation can function alongside existing workers to improve results and free up human workers for higher-level functions.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its ability to replace human jobs over the next few years has been the buzzword around the valley in the recent past. If research and number were to be taken as any parameter a recent study by Obama administration pointed out that almost half of the US jobs would be taken over by AI by 2036. To add insult to injury, certain studies have pointed out that close to 6% of US jobs will be replaced by AI as early 2021. Recent behaviour of the Indian ecosystem has definitely shown a trend of following valley technology. Whether this poses more as a bane than boon is something we will have to wait and watch, but in a country like India which is majorly human resource driven, taking pride on its educated work force and the world largest population in the working age group, the possibility of losing out major employability to AI could pose serious problems.

In the next 15 years, machines are expected to be able to drive cars, replace soldiers, work on the factory line building components, provide comprehensive customer service, run our financial services, translate and interpret text quicker than humans and and and (the list goes on and on). Machines are already writing articles for national newspapers (no, not this article) and the fear is that all jobs will go to robots. Around 40% of jobs will be gone by 2030 in the US, says analysts PwC, and 30% of jobs will go in the UK. This dystopian view of the future, the one of Terminator destruction rather than Iron Man superhuman powers, is something that artificial intelligence companies are very keen to distance themselves from. 'We use the term augmented intelligence [rather than artificial intelligence],' Paul Ryan, head of Watson Artificial Intelligence, IBM UK, tells Metro.co.uk at the AI Summit.
