The Impact of AI on the Job Market: Transformations and Outlook
Artificial Intelligence (AI) may be the key to transforming the workplace, particularly for jobs involving repetitive or automated tasks.
Research suggests that nearly a million jobs in London could be affected or changed by AI. This impact includes over 200,000 telemarketers, 150,000 bookkeepers, and more than 95,000 data entry specialists. Other roles identified as being at risk include fast food and warehouse workers, retail cashiers, paralegals, and proofreaders.
Consultancy firm McKinsey supports these projections, noting that the number of job advertisements for roles vulnerable to AI's impact is down 38% compared to three years ago.
AI's Effect on Hiring and Gender Disparity Women have been identified as being at a higher risk than men because they occupy more of the roles AI could impact. Experts have cautioned that companies must consider this to avoid inadvertently increasing gender disparity due to AI adoption.
AI as a Supportive Tool in Healthcare One NHS Trust has begun using AI as a tool to assist staff, not to replace them.
At Queen Elizabeth Hospital's pharmacy, medication is dispensed by a robot and administered by clinicians. AI then uses data to build patterns of how much medicine is needed to ensure the smooth-running of the hospital, such as stocking up on nebulizers during the winter flu season for the respiratory ward.
Officials at the Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust pointed out that while pharmacists could not manually identify these complex patterns, AI can. This system aids in determining where to store medicines for immediate patient use, making the entire workflow more efficient and safer for patients.
The government has made AI a key part of its 10-year strategy for the NHS. The goal is for AI to take over some of the 'mundane repetitive tasks', aiming to upskill staff for different roles within the organization rather than causing job losses.
Slowing Hiring in Other Industries The overall number of jobs advertised across various sectors fell by 31% between May and July, compared to the same period three years ago. In occupations with high exposure to AI, the advertisements dropped by 38%.
This slowdown in entry-level hiring has raised concerns that organizations risk leaving gaps in their future workforce. Businesses are advised to rethink how they use AI and identify which tasks are best automated and which require human creativity, judgment, and relationship-building.
Several major company leaders, including Jim Farley, CEO of Ford, have predicted that AI will eventually replace up to half of all white-collar workers in the U.S.
In the technology sector, which is leading AI adoption, experts believe AI will significantly boost the efficiency and productivity of developers and designers, helping them turn creative ideas into reality much faster, rather than displacing jobs outright.
