A.I. is on a collision course with white-collar, high-paid jobs — and with unknown impact – By Greg Iacurci (CNBC) / July 31, 2023
- About 1 in 5 American workers have a job with “high exposure” to artificial intelligence, according to Pew Research Center. It’s unclear if AI would enhance or displace these jobs.
- Workers with the most exposure to AI like ChatGPT tend to be women, white or Asian, higher earners and have a college degree, Pew found.
- Technology has led some to “lose out” in the past, largely when their job is substituted by automation, one expert said.
