AI – Who will be the workers most affected ?
This paper examines how different socio-demographic groups experience AI at work. As AI can automate non-routine, cognitive tasks, tertiary-educated workers in “white-collar” occupations will likely face disruption, even if empirical analysis does not suggest that overall employment levels have fallen due to AI, even in “white-collar” occupations. The main risk for those without tertiary education, … Continue reading
AI and skills in Canada – Most workers exposed will not require specialised AI skills
Most workers who will be exposed to artificial intelligence (AI) will not require specialised AI skills (e.g. machine learning, natural language processing, etc.). Even so, AI will change the tasks these workers do, and the skills they require. This report provides first estimates for Canada on the effect of artificial intelligence on the demand for … Continue reading
Artificial intelligence (AI) and Skills – High-exposure occupations comprise a third of all vacancies in OECD countries in the sample
Artificial intelligence (AI) adoption by firms is changing how workers perform their jobs and how work is organised. This reorganisation of tasks will result in changing demand for skills. For example, firms will demand more workers with AI skills, i.e. workers with the knowledge and competencies to actively develop and maintain AI models. However, despite … Continue reading
Artificial Intelligence (AI) – No indication it has affected wage inequality between occupations so far and some evidence it may be associated with lower wage inequality within occupations
The last decade has seen impressive advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI). This rapid progress has been accompanied by, amongst others, concerns about the possible effects of AI on the labour market, including on wages and inequality between workers; concerns that have come to a head since the public launch, in late 2022, of generative AI … Continue reading
Artificial Intelligence (AI) – Tasks will be augmented, not automated
Despite technological strides forward, this year’s Future of Jobs report suggests that businesses are becoming more sceptical about the potential for artificial intelligence to fully automate work tasks. Executives estimate that 34% of tasks are already automated – just one percentage point ahead of the figure reported in the Future of Jobs Report 2020. Future … Continue reading
AI in the Workplace – What do workers and employers think and what to do about it
In 2022, the OECD gathered data on the impact of AI on people and their workplaces, in the manufacturing and finance sectors of seven countries. The findings show that AI use at work can lead to positive outcomes for workers around job satisfaction, health and wages. Yet there are also risks around privacy, work intensity … Continue reading
AI and Jobs – No clear relationship but AI is linked to higher employment growth in IT occupations
Recent years have seen impressive advances in artificial intelligence (AI) and this has stoked renewed concern about the impact of technological progress on the labour market, including on worker displacement. This paper looks at the possible links between AI and employment in a cross-country context. It adapts the AI occupational impact measure developed by Felten, … Continue reading
New Technologies and Artificial intelligence – How they are transforming tasks : analyzing 170 million online job postings
Technology has long brought change to the nature of work, and to the skills required for the most desirable, best-paying jobs. But until recently, new technology – even robotics – has tended to mean automating repetitive or arduous tasks, while often leading to new types of tasks for workers. The emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) … Continue reading
Future of Work and Anxiety in Canada – Who is fearful of automation ?
Who is fearful of automation and what do they want politicians to do about it? This paper finds a correlation between Canadians’ fear of job losses from automation and populist and nativist views—but also that Canadians favour traditional government policy approaches to job disruption, such as retraining, more than radical measures such as reducing immigration. … Continue reading
Artificial Intelligence (AI) – It will challenge economists in coming years
After a number of AI-winters, AI is back with a boom. There are concerns that it will disrupt society. The immediate concern is whether labor can win a ‘race against the robots’ and the longer-term concern is whether an artificial general intelligence (super-intelligence) can be controlled. This paper describes the nature and context of these … Continue reading
The Future of Work – Artificial Intelligence (AI) impacts on learning, teaching, and education
At the November 2017 Gothenburg Summit, the Commission presented the Communication ‘Strengthening European Identity through Education and Culture’, that set out a vision for a European Education Area and announced a dedicated Digital Education Action Plan, which aims to foster digital skills and competences for all citizens. The Action Plan focuses on implementation and the … Continue reading
Artificial Intelligence – Creating both fear and hope among workers
What will be the effects of artificial intelligence on the workplace? Our survey respondents expect AI will have a large impact on the skills employees will need on the job. At the same time, they remain cautiously optimistic about AI’s overall effect on the workforce. Another year of AI experimentation and learning has left opinions … Continue reading
The Future of Work – Artificial Intelligence (AI) won’t replace most jobs but people using it are starting to replace people who don’t
As AI is increasingly applied to knowledge work, a significant shift will likely take place in the workplace, affecting many jobs in the Western middle class. Contrary to recent dire predictions about AI’s effect on employment, our survey suggests cautious optimism. Most respondents, for example, do not expect that AI will lead to a reduction … Continue reading
Artificial Intelligence (AI) – The three new categories of AI-driven business and technology jobs
The threat that automation will eliminate a broad swath of jobs, across the world economy is now well established. As artificial intelligence (AI) systems become ever more sophisticated, another wave of job displacement will almost certainly occur. It can be a distressing picture. But here’s what we’ve been overlooking: Many new jobs will also be … Continue reading
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Jobs – Far from killing the jobs of knowledge workers, this tends to free them up to do what they are paid for
“Knowledge work, for the first time, can be produced at volume from NLG-AI systems,” Gould says. “Far from killing the jobs of knowledge workers, this tends to free them up to do what they are paid to do—innovate, model, refine, and improve on the expertise of their business.” “Far from killing the jobs of knowledge … Continue reading
