Studies show that artificial intelligence could completely transform certain professions. This is because ChatGPT can perform many tasks entirely automatically. You can even use Chat GPT to give you the best tips on how to win at a casino playing the latest dragonslots.
While many manual tasks in factories have long since been replaced by machines and computers, office workers have so far felt safe in their jobs.
But with the AI boom of recent months, it has become clear: even computer-based professions will soon undergo a complete transformation. Not even creative jobs are safe anymore.
Two studies by ChatGPT developers OpenAI and Goldman Sachs highlight the risks for various occupational groups. Artificial intelligence could soon render some everyday work tasks obsolete—and that doesn’t necessarily have to be a bad thing; there are opportunities there as well.
The researchers at OpenAI wanted to find out which occupational groups are particularly at risk from AI. With an “exposure score” of 100 percent, the list primarily included mathematicians, tax clerks, writers and authors, web designers, auditors, data managers, and analysts of all kinds.
These are all professions that deal extensively with data. According to OpenAI, the safest professions are graphic designers, investment fund managers, insurance agents—and, of course, social and caregiving professions in general.
The study concludes that around 80 percent of the U.S. workforce will delegate approximately 10 percent of their tasks to GPTs. For 19 percent of workers, AI could even take over half of all tasks. This affects a wide range of income brackets.
Goldman Sachs: 300 million full-time jobs could be replaced by AI
A research division at the investment bank Goldman Sachs has calculated in a study what this development could mean for the labor market in concrete terms. If so-called generative AI delivers on its promised capabilities, this could lead to “significant disruptions in the labor market.” “Generative AI” refers to computer programs that can create new ideas, content, or solutions rather than merely processing predefined rules or instructions.
Goldman Sachs estimates that about two-thirds of current jobs are subject to some degree of AI automation. Generative AI could replace up to a quarter of current work. “If we extrapolate our estimates to the entire world, generative AI could expose the equivalent of 300 million full-time jobs to automation.”
Below, we break down once again why certain occupational groups will need to adapt their daily work routines in the future.
AI is a financial genius
Artificial intelligence holds great potential in the field of finance. As an accountant, AI can process much more data significantly faster. As a result, tax advisors will spend considerably less time preparing and reviewing tax returns in the future.
AI can also function as a financial advisor, as large datasets enable risk analysis and portfolio management. Or AI might become a stock trader and grow your money fully automatically—who knows?
Those whose careers involve working with language will also have to adapt. Tools like ChatGPT are “Large Language Models” (LLM) and don’t need to study for years to learn foreign languages. As a result, the tasks of translators and interpreters will soon be increasingly taken over by AI.
But journalists, too, will in the future have some of their texts written automatically, simply feeding the AI all the important data and facts—the tool will provide the appropriate graphics right along with it.
Perhaps even many tasks currently handled by executive assistants could be performed automatically by AI. Writing emails, scheduling and rescheduling appointments, drafting speeches—all controlled via voice command.
The Machine as Designer and Artist
Whether artificial intelligence can truly be creative—that is, generate original work—or merely recombine existing human creations is currently the subject of heated debate.
Contrary to OpenAI’s assessment, graphic artists and designers are already facing competition from AI, which can visualize virtually anything in just a few minutes: album covers, logos, websites, product packaging, and more. While some reject this entirely, others are already using these methods to achieve their goals more quickly.
Musicians who compose songs for commercials or films, for example, will soon be competing with AI as well. Beats and melodies are automatically generated according to specific parameters; all you have to do is sing along—it won’t be long before these computer-generated catchy tunes are playing on the radio.
