A new report released by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) noted that more than 27% of jobs are at high risk after the advent of artificial intelligence.
The incorporation of automation in many companies is putting people’s employment at risk, low-skill sectors such as: agriculture, construction, fishing, forestry are included in the forecasts.
In the presentation, the 38 members that make up the global policy forum agreed that the adoption of artificial intelligence in the labor market is still relatively lowBut with the growing demand for AI-skilled workers and falling technology costs, many countries may be very close to a true AI revolution in just a few years.
More policies for your moderate use
For the Secretary General of the OECD, Mathias Cormann “the recent acceleration of generative AI related developments and tools marks a technological milestone with material implications in many workplaces,” it said in a statement.
According to Cormann currently there is a need to consider policy frameworks for the moderate use of AI in jobs while continuing to “foster international cooperation to maximize benefits while properly managing downside risks,” he said.
On the other hand, the Paris-based group showed in the report evidence of few negative effects of the incorporation of AI in companies, since, on the contrary, to what has been speculated, many employees confess that tedious and even dangerous tasks can be reduced with AI.
However, some surveys show that three out of five employees are worried about losing their job or be partially replaced by the AI, reducing their working hours and therefore their income.
