Artificial intelligence has not yet caused widespread job destruction, according to a recent study. On the contrary, the technology may have contributed to the creation of 1.9 million jobs, representing a positive impact on the labor market.
However, not all professionals are benefiting from this transition. Younger professionals are beginning to feel significant pressure, as they face greater competition and changes in the demand for skills in the labor market.
Repetitive cognitive tasks are those that have shown the greatest vulnerability to automation. These activities, which involve standardized and predictable tasks, are the most likely to be replaced or transformed by artificial intelligence.
The study suggests that, although the overall balance may be positive in terms of net job creation, the transition is generating winners and losers among different groups of workers, with a particularly relevant impact for those starting their careers or occupying positions more vulnerable to automation.
