The report says generative artificial intelligence will replace 2.4 million jobs in the United States by 2030, mainly affecting white-collar workers

CTOnews.com, September 10 (Xinhua)-- generative artificial intelligence will replace 2.4 million jobs in the United States and affect 11 million jobs by 2030, according to the latest report from analyst firm Forrester. These jobs are mainly for white-collar workers, including technical writing, social science research, proofreading, copywriting and so on. Generative artificial intelligence refers to the artificial intelligence technology that can automatically generate text, images and other content, such as GPT-4 and ChatGPT of OpenAI.

Tuyuan PexelsCTOnews.com noted that the report points out that while generative artificial intelligence will replace some jobs, it will also help some jobs, such as editors, writers, poets and lyricists. These jobs can work with generative artificial intelligence tools to improve efficiency and creativity. The report also found that jobs with higher education and income were more likely to be affected by generative artificial intelligence. On the contrary, industries with low educational requirements and low incomes, such as transportation, construction, agriculture and manufacturing, are less affected.

According to the report, the job loss caused by generative artificial intelligence will not be great in the next few years, because there are still some problems to be solved, such as intellectual property rights, copyright, plagiarism and so on.
