Experts warn that ChatGPT and other similar AI technologies might pose a threat to various jobs, especially those in the white-collar sector. By automating mid-career tasks of mid-level proficiency, these technologies could potentially disrupt the workforce.
Impact on Job Market
Since its launch in November 2022, OpenAI's ChatGPT has been employed in various tasks such as writing cover letters, creating children's books, and assisting students in cheating on academic essays.
Job Roles at Risk
According to Business Insider, here are 10 job roles that could potentially be replaced by AI, including ChatGPT:
- Tech jobs (Coders, computer programmers, software engineers, data analysts)
- Media jobs (advertising, content creation, technical writing, journalism)
- Legal industry jobs (paralegals, legal assistants)
Tech Jobs
AI tools like ChatGPT are anticipated to impact tech-related roles such as software developers, web developers, computer programmers, and data scientists. These roles are deemed susceptible to being replaced by AI technologies due to their compatibility with automation processes.
OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT, has contemplated substituting software engineers with AI. However, some experts like Oded Netzer believe that AI will enhance coding jobs rather than entirely replacing them.
Media Jobs
Roles in the media industry, including advertising, technical writing, journalism, and content creation, could also face potential disruption from AI technologies. These jobs heavily rely on language-based tasks that AI tools like ChatGPT excel at, leading to concerns about job replacements and efficiency.
Legal Industry Jobs
Legal professions such as paralegals and legal assistants are likely to experience changes due to the influence of generative AI tools. Reports have indicated that AI automation could significantly impact the legal sector, potentially altering job requirements and responsibilities.
