| Generative AI, the American worker, and the future of work At the end of 2022, the launch of ChatGPT-3.5 captured the world’s attention and showed generative AI’s ability to produce a wide variety of content, such as text, video, audio, images, and code. Since then, numerous questions have been raised about what this technology will mean for work, workers, and livelihoods. While many Americans are worried, much is still unknown about generative AI’s potential impacts. In a new report, Molly Kinder, Xavier de Souza Briggs, Mark Muro, and Sifan Liu examine the unanswered questions, shed light on the industries that are most exposed to disruption from generative AI, and outline three key priorities to protect workers. |
A key point “We find that more than 30% of all workers could see at least 50% of their occupation’s tasks disrupted by generative AI, while some 85% of workers could see at least 10% of their work tasks impacted.” — Molly Kinder, Xavier de Souza Briggs, Mark Muro, and Sifan Liu |
