The investment group Goldman Sachs, one of the most powerful in the world, has recently carried out a study, carried out by Joseph Briggs and Devesh Kodnani, in which it has highlighted the labor consequences of the latest advances in intelligence. artificial.
Both experts have concluded that the experimented development could lead to the automation of a quarter of the work carried out in Europe and the United States.
Who would be affected?
The investment group has claimed that the rise of automation would have a positive reflection on the economy, since the generative systems of artificial intelligence, those that have the ability to create content indistinguishable from man-made content, could raise the global and annual Gross Domestic Product (GDP) by 7% in a period of 10 years.
However, the study in the same way, shows that these tools based on artificial intelligence, such as ChatGPT, can affect a number of jobs and it is that automation would be equivalent to 300 million full-time workers in the most powerful economies.
Analysts say that approximately two-thirds of today’s jobs are exposed to some degree of automation, however, they maintain that administrative and legal jobs will be the most sensitive to the arrival of artificial intelligence.
The prognosis is that up to a quarter of current work could be replaced by artificial intelligencea fact that would bring consequences for a large part of the population.
United States and Europe in the spotlight
With these data, half of the workload could be freed up to spend that time on other tasks that artificial intelligence cannot perform. In some countries, such as the United States or Europe, automation accounts for 63% of the workforceHowever, it is true that there are 30% of jobs that require physical activity, so these would not be threatened under any circumstances.
At least 7% of the jobs in the North American country could be carried out in part by artificial intelligence generative, so many jobs are vulnerable to being replaced. These data extrapolated worldwide make us see that new technologies could replace a fifth of the work carried out by the hand of man, which represents 300 million jobs.
More studies support this thought.
The report by Goldman Sachs reopens the debate on the benefits of artificial intelligence and how it can revive productivity growth or create new jobs.
But this is not the only one that brings out the consequences in an early term, already last week, in an article published by OpenAI referred to the fact that of 80% of the jobs in the United States, at least 10% could be done thanks to these tools.
For its part, Europol warned that the growth of artificial intelligence could also increase cybercrime in the future.
Roughly speaking, investigations are based on the tasks that artificial intelligence can perform in exchange for the hand of man, jobs such as completing tax returns for small businesses, claim evaluations, or even documenting the results of an investigation, among others.
For now, the studies carried out do not contemplate the possibility of using artificial intelligence for more complex tasks such as issuing a court ruling, studying international tax law or checking the status of a patient in intensive care.
