Will generative AI take your job? It depends, according to a March 21 CNN story about the U.S. Council of Economic Advisors’ Annual Economic Report of the President. The report distinguishes between simple tasks–which an AI can perform more efficiently than a person does–and complex ones, which a person can do more effectively than an AI.
If an AI chatbot can perform most of your job activities, you might need to find new work. The report estimates that 10 percent of the U.S. workforce falls into that category.
The good news for workers is that job complexity can AI-proof your job. At the same time, the technology may assist you in performing the parts of your job the AI can do more efficiently–leaving you to devote more time to the complex parts of your job, noted CNN.
