AI tools like chatGPT likely to complement jobs, not destroy them, says the International Labor Organization (ILO). The study provides a global analysis of the potential exposure of occupations and tasks to generative artificial intelligence (AI) and the possible implications for job quantity and quality.
According to three social scientists at the UN agency, the new technology will likely automate some tasks rather than take over a role entirely. This means that AI tools, such as chatGPT, are expected to augment work within occupations, leaving time for other duties. The ILO report found that clerical work had the highest exposure to the technology, while other occupational groups had a lower risk of redundancy.
The effects of AI on jobs vary across countries. In richer countries, around 5.5 percent of total employment is potentially exposed to automating effects of generative AI, whereas the risk is only around 0.4 percent in low-income countries. However, the potential for augmentation is nearly equal across countries, suggesting that with the right policies, generative AI could offer important benefits for developing nations.
It is important to consider the gender aspect and impact of AI on jobs. Women are more likely to be affected by automation, as they are over-represented in clerical work. This could have significant implications for female employment, especially in high and middle-income countries.
In conclusion, the socio-economic impacts of generative AI will largely depend on how it is adopted and rolled out. Proactive design of policies that support an orderly, fair, and consultative transition is crucial. Workers’ opinions, skills training, and adequate social protection should be key considerations in this process. While the outcomes of the technological transition are not predetermined, it is humans who are behind the decision to incorporate such technologies and humans who need to guide the transition process.
