Generative AI and Jobs: A Global Analysis of Potential Effects on Job Quantity and Quality

UN Entity:

SDGs:

SDG 08: Decent Work & Economic Growth

Innovation Area:

Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning
Generative AI
Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) is more likely to augment than destroy jobs by automating some tasks rather than taking over a role entirely, a new study from the International Labour Organization (ILO) has found. The study suggests that most jobs and industries are only partly exposed to automation and are more likely to be complemented rather than substituted by the latest wave of Generative AI, such as chatGPT. Therefore, the greatest impact of this technology is likely to not be job destruction but rather the potential changes to the quality of jobs, notably work intensity and autonomy.
