Artificial intelligence eliminating jobs for younger workers

Economists in Stanford The university has found the strongest evidence of this artificial intelligence He started eliminating certain jobs. But the story is not so simple: While younger workers are replaced by artificial intelligence in some industries, the most experienced workers see new opportunities appear.

Erik Bringgloffson, Professor at Stanford University, Rio Chen, research scientist, Chandander, graduate student, ADP data, the largest salary provider in the United States, from late 2022, when she appeared to first, until mid -2015.

Researchers Discover several strong signals In the data – the most prominent of which is that the adoption of obstetric artificial intelligence coincided with the low job opportunities for younger workers in the sectors It was previously identified as a particularly vulnerable to automation operating in Amnesty International (Think of customer service and software development). In these industries, they found a 16 percent decrease in employment for workers between 22 to 25 years old.

The new study reveals an accurate image of the effect of artificial intelligence on labor. While he made artificial intelligence It is often accompanied by terrible predictions about the jobs that are canceled – there was not much data to support them. For example, the relative unemployment of young graduates began to decrease around 2009, before the current wave of artificial intelligence. And areas that may seem vulnerable to intelligence, such as translation, have already seen an increase in jobs in recent years.

“It is always difficult to know (what is happening) if you only look at a specific company or hear stories,” says Bringingonon. “So we wanted to look at it more systematically.”

By combing salary statements, Stanford team found that the impact of artificial intelligence has a more related to the worker’s experience and experience more than the type of work they do. The most experienced employees in the industries in which artificial intelligence is adopted from the displacement of jobs, with either flat or slightly growing opportunities. The result supports what some of the program developers previously Tell me about the impact of artificial intelligence on their industryAny work by frequent heart, such as writing the connection code with applications interface devices, has become easier to automate. Stanford’s study also indicates that artificial intelligence eliminates jobs but does not reduce wages, at least yet.

The researchers looked at potential confusing factors including the Covid’s pandemic, remotely climbing, and demobilizing the last technology sector. They found that artificial intelligence has an effect even when calculating these factors.

Brynjolfsson says the study provides a lesson on how to maximize the benefits of artificial intelligence through the economy. It has long been suggested that the government can change the tax system so that companies that replace employment are not rewarded with automation. It is also suggested that artificial intelligence companies develop systems that give priority to cooperation between man and machine.

Bringingon and another scientist in Stanford, Andrew Hopt, argued at a paper in June Artificial intelligence companies must develop new “center” AI standards This measures the human cooperation, to stimulate more focus on reinforcement rather than automation. “I think there are still a lot of tasks as humans and machines can outperform the performance (AI on its own),” says Bringgluhson.

Some experts believe that more cooperation between humans and AI can be a feature in the future labor market. Matt Bene, Associate Professor at the University of California at Santa Barbara, who studies the automation driven by artificial intelligence, says he expects to create an artificial intelligence boom demand for increased work-as artificial intelligence product management becomes increasingly important. He says: “We will automate as possible.” “But this does not mean that there will be no growing mountain of the remaining increase in humans.”

Artificial intelligence advances quickly, and Brynjolfsson warns that the effect on younger workers can spread to those with greater experience. “What we have to do is to create a system for early celebration of the driving board to help us track this in an actual time,” he says. “This is a very dependency technique.”
