Seems to me that 100% of congressional staff could be replaced by AI as well as 95% of federal agency staff. We’d need to keep humans in some jobs, like running the DMV where efficient service would be too great a shock.
Whew...there are no mechanical engineers listed to be replaced by AI. What a relief!
When I was a child there weren’t 50 people in the country employed working with personal or business computers. When computers stated making inroads in the 60’s 70’s and 80’s the concern was about people losing their jobs to computers... What happened was computers created jobs. AI could be the same.
RE: Whew...there are no mechanical engineers listed to be replaced by AI. What a relief!
They’re probably part of the list in the category — ARCHITECTURE AND ENGINEERING ( see the chart on this article ).
That would be an improvement...
Pretty simple.
People are a pain in the ass.
It is cheaper to replace them
when you can do so.
I think $15 per hour was the tip point.
I am not worried. Microsoft is touted as leader in AI. If Microsoft needed 950 updates for Windows operating system, AI will be so buggy it will not be funny.
At some point, maybe within 7 years, serious thought will be given to setting a certain number of jobs aside that can only be filled by human beings. We are at this point already.
What appears to be a marvelous and modern improvement is going to put scores of highly trained people out of work.
Where are all these people going to go? What will they do with what remains of their most productive years?
Some may commit crimes of violence, due to the bitterness and frustration of having their routines destroyed all of a sudden. Watch and see. This will be a problem for the next president to deal with.
Computers did not create the same number of jobs they displaced. At best, maybe 1/3 of new jobs were created. I’m betting that the number of new jobs might be 1/10 of the jobs being destroyed. More over time.
Well, on the positive side, can those laid off and fired folks start with the Indians? Maybe now we can get rid of them.
Only if you can get AI to vote..... 🤣🤣🤣🤣
You must be easy to replace if some low caliber H1B visa worker replaced you. I never had that problem in 37 years in US manufacturing jobs.
“congressional staff”
Let’s start with congress critters.
That is truly amazing considering there are currently only about 158 million people employed in the U.S.
Apparently AI is so amazing it's going to replace 142 million workers that don't even exist.
They created numerous times the number of jobs that they replaced.
It is not close. 75% more jobs than 50yrs ago and computer jobs went fr near zero to a lot.
I understand the confusion though, the doomsday models and doomsdayers have such a rich history of accuracy year in and year out. Just see peak oil, peak food, ozone hole, covid-
AI is going to take everyone’s job!
(incl the pesky HR depts patrolling social media)
Excellent point. Artificially intelligent chatbot describes most Indians.
“What happened was computers created jobs. AI could be the same.”
The difference is that AI systems can design themselves. They already are. Any jobs created will likely be menial one (e.g. sales of AI systems).
This article was probably written by an AI bot.
