The Jobs that Artificial Intelligence will Put at Risk the Most
There is a lot of debate about whether artificial intelligence or AI will take over human jobs around the world. A new report sheds light on how the US job market will be affected by AI and what types of jobs will be most affected.
According to that report, by 2030, 30 percent of the total labor time in the United States will be filled by AI or artificial intelligence. This has been said in the news of Times of India.
According to a study conducted by McKinsey Global Institute, AI will accelerate the process of automation of the economy.
Artificial intelligence, they have been told, will take away a lot of human jobs, which is not the case, but will accelerate automation in various sectors of the economy. In this case, the biggest impact will be on official cooperation, customer service, and food supply.
The report also states that an additional 12 million jobs will transition by 2030 in the United States alone.
It is said that in the future, the healthcare sector will be the most people's work. McKinsey estimates that 3.5 million new jobs will be created in the healthcare and health technology sectors.
According to the report, the job opportunities for software engineers, data scientists, cyber security analysts, biomedical engineers, and environmental scientists will increase by 30 percent by 2030.
However, the US tech sector has recently seen massive layoffs. Despite this, the report mentions that the job opportunities for people skilled in technology will increase. Because digitalization will increase in various sectors of the economy.
A major digital transformation is taking place in the banking, insurance, pharmaceutical, and healthcare sectors, the report said. As a result, the demand for skilled workers in these sectors will increase. The report further states that employment in the communication services sector will grow by 9 percent by 2030.
On the other hand, most jobs will be lost in the administrative support, customer service, and food assistance sectors.
The report estimates that the demand for clerical jobs in the United States will decrease by 1.6 million by 2030. This will happen in addition to 830,000 retail sales workers, 710,000 administrative assistants, and 630,000 cashiers losing their jobs.
According to the analysis, jobs that require the same tasks to be performed over and over again—such as data or information collection or primary data collection—will be most affected by automation.
Low-wage jobs will be hit the hardest, the report said. Those who work in jobs with an annual wage of $30,800 to $38,200 and above are 10 to 14 times more likely to change jobs.
In this case, the condition of women will be more serious. Because their chances of changing jobs are one and a half times more. In addition, demand for high-wage jobs may increase overall, so there is no alternative to upskilling workers.
But McKinsey doesn't rule out the possibility that AI will take over human jobs, even though it can't come to an overall conclusion. Many people may lose their jobs in the short term.
According to the report, technological development or change is often disruptive, but ultimately conducive to economic and employment growth.
