Along with significant technological developments in recent years, serious advances have been made in the field of artificial intelligence. In this context, from chatbots that can answer any question you ask to artificial intelligence systems that create games; A wide range of artificial intelligence applications have become a part of our lives, from software that produces 3D models to tools that make natural disaster predictions.
However, this brings with it an important problem. This problem, which will show itself more in the coming years, is unemployment. Because artificial intelligence is so advanced today that manpower is no longer needed in some positions. Finally, a report on this was published.
11 per cent of the UK workforce is at risk
The development of artificial intelligence could impact a significant proportion of the UK workforce, according to the latest report published by the Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR). The report states that 11 percent of the country’s workforce can be taken over by artificial intelligence. This means that without any growth in the economy, around 1.5 million people could become unemployed.
According to the information shared in the report, fields such as database management stand out among the job positions that will be most affected by the rise of artificial intelligence. However, it is stated that medium and low-paid employees are more likely to be unemployed.
ChatGPT-4 is not the best anymore! This artificial intelligence has overtaken
The best artificial intelligence model has been announced. A new leader emerged in the race where GPT-4 was leading. Here are the details.
The Public Policy Research Institute draws attention to another important point. Accordingly, as productive AI is further integrated into the UK workforce in the coming years, it could replace 59 percent of the workforce. This corresponds to 7.9 million people.
Those who use artificial intelligence effectively may not lose their jobs
Although it is said that artificial intelligence technologies will cause millions of people to lose their jobs, they actually create a new workforce. Because many software companies abroad are looking for employees who can effectively use chat bots such as ChatGPT.
Michal Szymczak, Head of AI Strategy at Zartis, a software and AI consultancy in Cork, Ireland, also supports this. “In other words, artificial intelligence itself will not take away our jobs, but a human who uses artificial intelligence effectively will definitely do it,” Szymczak said.
Although the latest report published by the Public Policy Research Institute was prepared for the United Kingdom, it is highly likely that the workforce in other countries will also be affected by artificial intelligence.
