Microsoft Study Reveals Jobs Most And Least Likely To Be Affected By AI
Doha, Qatar: Microsoft's research division released a new study that analysed which occupations are most and least likely to be impacted by artificial intelligence (AI) tools.
It drew insights from 200,000 anonymised conversations between US users and Bing Copilot, a publicly available generative AI system.
The study found that users most often seek AI assistance for gathering information and writing tasks, while the most common activity that AI itself is performing were providing information, writing, teaching and advising.
To quantify this Microsoft introduced an "AI applicability scores" that measures alignment between AI capabilities and daily job duties.
The top 40 occupations with highest AI applicability scores - that is most likely to be affected by AI are:
