Artificial Intelligence is being eliminated by young jobs

Stanford University’s new research shows that artificial intelligence is remarkably eliminating basic job jobs for young people in some important areas.

According to Forbes, a new study has been based on the salaries of millions of employees in the United States, indicating that since the widespread emergence of productive artificial intelligence, the employment of young employees (2 to 5 years) in jobs that are exposed to artificial intelligence, with a one. Relative decline of 2 % Has encountered.

Replace young people with artificial intelligence

The study, which covers January 1 to July 1, shows that youth employment declines have begun exactly late in the year, at the same time as the ChatGPT general release.

Areas that have seen the most damage, jobs such as Software development And Customer Support Are; Jobs that are rapidly penetrating artificial intelligence tools such as GitHub Copilot or more than 5 artificial intelligence tools for customer service.

Of course, this study distinguishes between the concept of “automation” and “reinforcement”. Employment reduction has mainly occurred in jobs that have completely automatically replaced the work of artificial intelligence. In contrast, in jobs where artificial intelligence as an auxiliary tool reinforces human abilities, jobs at the base level have remained constant or even grown.

This study, of course, also comes with relatively good news. Currently, this decline in employment has been particularly influenced by young employees, and older employees in these areas have not yet faced a similar decline. Also, jobs that require physical, care, or complex interdisciplinary skills have shown more resistance to artificial intelligence.

However, the speed of artificial intelligence progress is very worrying. The study points out that artificial intelligence systems were only able to solve 1.5 % of the problems in a standard coding criterion in year 2, but this figure in year 2 4.9 % It has leap.

This rate of progress shows that betting that artificial intelligence will not be able to perform more tasks in the coming months and years is a very risky bet. In general, this study is a serious warning for young people who are entering the job market and must prepare themselves for a world where the boundary between human and machine tasks has diminished.
