Generative artificial intelligence (AI) is more likely to augment than destroy jobs by automating some tasks rather
than taking over a role entirely, according to a study by the International Labour Organisation (ILO). However, certain
clerical jobs may never emerge in lower-income countries. Most jobs and industries are only partly exposed to automation and are more likely to be complemented rather than substituted by the latest wave of Generative AI, such as chatGPT, the findings showed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe outcomes of the technological transition are not predetermined. It is humans that are behind the decision to
incorporate such technologies and it is humans that need to guide the transition process,\u201d the authors noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Clerical work was found to be the category with the greatest technological exposure, with nearly a quarter of tasks considered highly exposed and more than half of tasks having medium-level exposure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In other occupational groups – including managers, professionals and technicians – only a small share of tasks was found to be highly exposed, while about a quarter had medium exposure levels, the study by the UN body found.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The study found that 5.5 per cent of total employment in high-income countries is potentially exposed to the
automating effects of the technology, whereas in low-income countries, the risk of automation concerns only some 0.4
per cent of employment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the other hand, the potential for augmentation is nearly equal across countries, suggesting that with the right policies
in place, this new wave of technological transformation could offer important benefits for developing countries<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe potential effects of Generative AI are likely to differ significantly for men and women,\u201d the study said, with more
than twice the share of female employment potentially affected by automation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is due to women\u2019s over-representation in clerical work, especially in high and middle-income countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
source of female employment as countries develop economically, one result of Generative AI could be that certain clerical jobs may never emerge in lower-income countries,\u201d the ILO study emphasised.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
