Description:
Previously only capable of tackling repetitive admin work, AI is increasingly 
capable of doing your boss job.

FULL STORY
======================================================================AI has 
developed into a tool that can now handle more complex workloads It will 
undoubtedly shift the labor market, but will lead to a net job creation 
Experts are calling for more detailed policies to protect displaced workers 

Although early concerns that AI could replace human workers have largely been 
squashed, every now and then we hear of another study that says otherwise, 
and OECDs Job Creation and Local Economic Development 2024 report certainly 
gives that impression. 

The report explores how cognitive non-routine tasks, such as those performed 
by highly-skilled professionals, are increasingly within the scope of AI. 

Up until now, low-skilled, repetitive and administration tasks have been most 
affected by the technology, which has the power to process huge amounts of 
data very quickly to get routine tasks done. AI is coming after your boss job 

Unlike earlier automation trends that primarily impacted manufacturing and 
automotive roles, generative AI is now promising to change roles in 
education, finance and IT. 

The study found that GenAI already affects around a quarter of jobs, but OECD 
doesn't seem too concerned about AI actually replacing human workers. 
Instead, the study likens the emerging tech to automation, which actually led 
to a net creation of jobs despite some being lost for good. 

OECDs report also suggests that AI could be used to tackle the ongoing skills 
shortage by increasing accessibility to those who might not have previously 
been able to undertake certain roles. 

Looking ahead, OECD says that the "uneven recovery" seen post-pandemic cannot 
repeat itself as AI progresses. It calls for more effective collaboration 
between the public and private sectors to create policies that advocate 
workers rights and to invest in upskilling and reskilling initiatives. 

The study calls specifically for policies that identify opportunities where 
AI can drive regional growth, build awareness of AI's benefits for workers 
and employers, improve the uptake of AI tools across small businesses, 
establish frameworks to control AI risks and provide tailored support for 
displaced workers. You might also like Weve listed the best AI writers Check
