Anthropic Study Warns AI Could Disrupt Office Jobs, Programmers Among Most Exposed
The concern about job loss due to AI is currently high. Meanwhile, Anthropic has developed a new system that studies how much different jobs rely on tasks that can be performed by artificial intelligence.
Economists have difficulty quickly assessing the possible impact of artificial intelligence on the way people do their jobs in the coming years, but it has the potential to change office life significantly. Anthropic claims that they are attempting to monitor the possible changes before they actually appear in the job market. They have come up with a new system that assesses the level of dependency of various jobs on tasks that AI has the ability to perform.
According to a new research paper by economists Maxim Masenkoff and Peter McCrory at Anthropic, this system acts as an index that measures how vulnerable different tasks are to automation by large language models. The index closely examines the tasks that make up a job. If a significant portion of those tasks can be handled by AI and are already being performed using AI tools, that job is considered more vulnerable to automation.
