Jobs

Newsweek -   A new report from artificial intelligence giant Anthropic has taken a closer look at which jobs were most at risk due to the rise of AI and large-language models (LLMs).  The report, which was released on March 5, found that AI at present is, "far from reaching its theoretical capacity," and that it is currently achieving only a "fraction" of the coverage made possible by the technology....

According to Anthropic, the most exposed workers demographically tended to be female, older, higher educated and higher paid.

The research showed that currently, AI is being utilized most in jobs involving programming and math—many coders are using AI to produce their work. Computer programmers were 74 percent exposed and data entry workers were 67 percent exposed. Customer service representatives were also more than 70 percent exposed.

Meanwhile, categories for "legal" and "arts and media" were both relatively high in "observed AI usage" in comparison to their "theoretical AI usage."

Both office and administration positions and sales positions have seen high levels of observed AI usage as well.

However, the company suggested that artificial intelligence is currently being underutilized most in areas like architecture and engineering. Their graph also suggested that life and social science jobs are far from their theoretical AI coverage.

The least exposed workers, unsurprisingly, were jobs that require a physical presence like installation and repair, grounds maintenance and transportation. Additionally, food and service workers appear relatively inoculated from AI.
