Recent study identifies 44 jobs most at risk of being replaced by AI, while Bill Gates highlights only three he believes will endure

The Emergence of AI Raises Concerns for the Future

A recent study has identified 44 jobs that are most likely to be replaced by artificial intelligence (AI), aligning with Bill Gates' predictions on which three jobs might be eliminated first.

Recent advancements in technology have led to significant progress in AI and its applications in industry and even among the general public.

ChatGPT is gaining widespread use, yet concerns about AI displacing people from jobs in the near future are quite real.

Now, OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, has conducted a study examining the jobs most at risk of disappearing due to AI advancements.

The team utilized a specialized test called GDPval to evaluate how technology compared to human workers across nine sectors in the US, and whether AI could ultimately take over tasks currently performed by humans.

The rise of AI is very real

The outcome? A total of 44 job categories are most likely at risk as AI becomes more prevalent in our daily lives.

Roles such as software developers, private investigators, and sales managers might become obsolete, along with film and video editors, and even lawyers.

The complete list of 44 jobs includes:

• Concierges

• Property, real estate, and community association managers

• Real estate sales agents

• Real estate brokers

• Counter and rental clerks

• Recreation workers

• Compliance officers

• First-line supervisors of police and detectives

• Administrative services managers

• Child, family, and school social workers

• Mechanical engineers

• Industrial engineers

• Buyers and purchasing agents

• Shipping, receiving, and inventory clerks

• First-line supervisors of production and operating workers

• Software developers

• Lawyers

Could lawyers be a thing of the past?

• Accountants and auditors

• Computer and information systems managers

• Project management specialists

• Registered nurses

• Nurse practitioners

• Medical and health services managers

• First-line supervisors of office and administrative support workers

• Medical secretaries and administrative assistants

• Customer service representatives

• Financial and investment analysts

• Financial managers

• Personal financial advisors

• Securities, commodities and financial services sales agents

• Pharmacists

• First-line supervisors of retail sales workers

• General and operations managers

• Private detectives and investigators

• First-line supervisors of non-retail sales workers

• Sales representatives, wholesale and manufacturing, except technical and scientific products

• Sales representatives, wholesale and manufacturing, technical and scientific product

• Audio and video technicians

• Producers and directors

• News analysts, reporters, and journalists

• Film and video editors

• Editors

These jobs are divided into various categories: real estate and renting and leasing, government, manufacturing, professional, scientific, and technical services, health and social care assistance, finance and insurance, retail trade, wholesale trade information.

The team at OpenAI analyzed the percentage where AI outperforms humans, noting differences across categories.

For instance, a 'win rate' of 49 percent was noted for real estate and renting and leasing, while government scored 52 percent.

At the lower end, information jobs, like reporter and video editor, received a 33 percent 'win score'.

OpenAI selected the nine specific industries based on their contribution of over 5 percent to the US GDP, as indicated by data from the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis.

This follows Bill Gates expressing his views on which jobs he believes will withstand AI advancements for now, highlighting coders, energy experts, and biologists.

In contrast, data and administration jobs, customer service, and assembly line positions might be the first to face the impact of this transformative technology.
