Artificial intelligence, the study: “300 million jobs at risk”


The sectors that will be most affected will be the administrative and legal sectors but also the banking and financial sectors. Goldman Sachs research, however, also pointed out that the adoption of AI could lead to global GDP growth of 7% over the next 10 years, creating new job opportunities in other fields.

Cashier operators, clerks and administrative employees. But also lawyers and accountants. There are many, 300 million according to a study conducted by Goldman Sachs, jobs at risk due to the spread of Artificial Intelligence (AI). In the next 7 years the professions most in danger will be those that require repetitive and routine skills, manual jobs but also highly specialized ones. The research, however, also pointed out that the adoption of AI could lead to global GDP growth of 7% over the next 10 years, creating new job opportunities in other sectors. Despite the concerns, therefore, experts believe that AI is not destined to completely replace humans in the workplace but predict that it can be used to increase productivity and improve business processes, giving companies a competitive advantage.

I study

It’s titled “The Potentially Large Effects of Artificial Intelligence on Economic Growth“, the study by Goldman Sachs that highlights the effects of artificial intelligence on global economic growth. The leading international investment banking, securities trading and investment management firm believes that the combination of significant labor cost savings, job creation and increased productivity can give result in a productivity boom that will substantially boost economic growth.

The estimates

The authors estimate that “about two-thirds of jobs” in the United States and Europe are exposed to some degree of automation via artificial intelligence. According to Joseph Briggs and Devesh Kodnani, who conducted the research, most people could be relieved of doing about 50% of the work done daily, without losing it, instead seeing the hours of leisure available to them increase. To avoid a negative impact on workers, many experts suggest investing in training and developing specialized skills that can adapt to the evolution of the labor market.
