This is according to a study led by Princeton University The 20 professions most at risk of being replaced by artificial intelligence (AI).

The team of researchers conducted their analysis through ten AI-powered applications such as language, with 52 human skillsto understand if they are closely related.

The results showed that telemarketers, teachers, school psychologists and judges are among those who are at greater risk with new technology.

Fears that software will eliminate human jobs have recently increased around the world after the release of ChatGPT and its ability to perform eerily human professional tasks like writing emails and resumes.

“The effect of AI at work is likely to be multifaceted. In some cases, AI can replace work previously done by humansand in other cases, AI can complement people’s work,” the study reads.

A prominent example of how AI capabilities continue to evolve are recent improvements in AI language modeling. “In particular, ChatGPT, a language modeller released by Open AI in late 2022, has attracted a lot of attention and controversy.“, indicated.

The team used an AI measure of occupational exposure created by Edward Felten, also of Princeton University, in 2021. In that study, the 10 AI applications included:

While the 52 human abilities, obtained from the Database of the Occupational Information Network (O*NET). used by the United States Department of Labor to describe more than 800 occupations, they include examples such as listening comprehension, speaking, inductive reasoning, and arm-hand balance.

The researchers first built an algorithm that measures the extent to which AI can automate the 800 professions. Then they paired the 10 AI-powered apps.
