Dual Nature of AI: Twists and Turns of AI in the Job Market

In the ongoing debate about the impact of AI on employment, opinions often fluctuate between idealistic visions of abundant opportunities and grim predictions of widespread job losses. To provide a clearer perspective on the current state of AI's influence on jobs, let's delve into recent research findings:

Certain tasks see a significant boost in productivity with AI assistance, while others do not benefit as much.

A study by Harvard Business School and Boston Consulting Group found that consultants using GPT-4 were able to complete 12.2% more tasks, doing so 25.1% faster and with 40% higher quality. However, for more complex tasks, the likelihood of consultants arriving at correct solutions decreased by 19%.

Professions like copywriting and graphic design are experiencing adverse effects due to AI tools like ChatGPT.

Research examining AI's impact on the online labor market revealed that the introduction of ChatGPT led to a substantial decline in work and earnings for copywriters and graphic designers on freelance platforms. This trend was consistent across various skill levels, indicating a broad impact of ChatGPT's release on these professions.

Income or skill level doesn't necessarily provide immunity from AI's influence.

A report by OpenAI and the University of Pennsylvania researchers highlights that individuals earning over $100,000 may be more susceptible to the effects of AI than those earning less. The study notes that job impacts from AI models and LLM-powered software could span across all income brackets, with higher-income roles potentially facing more significant challenges due to their alignment with LLM capabilities.
