AI vs. Humanity_ Creativity and Connections

from Conspiracy Theories Exploring The Unseen · host Michael Fortune

Artificial Intelligence is shaking things up in the workforce, and it’s crucial to understand just how drastically our jobs might change in the years ahead. According to the World Economic Forum, by 2030, AI could potentially displace around 92 million jobs globally. But don’t let that figure scare you just yet; it’s expected to create around 170 million new roles as well. So, we’re looking at a net positive of approximately 78 million jobs—a remarkable twist in the tale!Now, let’s zoom in on the U.S. for a moment. A collaboration between MIT and Oak Ridge National Laboratory indicates that AI could replace up to 11.7% of jobs here, translating to a staggering 1.2 trillion dollars in salaries gone. That’s a significant slice of the labor market, and it’s not just tech jobs that are in jeopardy. Industries like manufacturing, customer service, and retail are particularly vulnerable. For instance, a staggering 58% of manufacturing jobs and 45% of customer service positions face possible automation. Human interaction or hands-on work may soon include a side of artificial intelligence in many industries.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/conspiracy-theories-exploring-the-unseen--5194379/support.
