AI could wipe out a whopping 300 million jobs worldwide

Artificial intelligence ( AI) is becoming more and more ubiquitous, and while it promises to bring many wonders under its belt, it will also destroy a whole host of jobs.
According to a recent study by investment bank Goldman Sachs , AI could replace (and therefore destroy) the equivalent of 300 million full-time jobs across the globe.
The report estimates that this technology list of kazakhstan cell phone numbers could take over a quarter of work tasks in the United States and Europe, but will also presumably create new jobs and eventually translate into a productivity boom.
AI could also increase the annual value of products and services produced across the globe by 7%.
Although Elon Musk, Steve Wozniak and several AI experts recently called in an open letter for the completely uncontrolled development of this technology to be halted , Goldman Sachs research describes artificial intelligence as a "first-rate advance" for humanity.
The impact of AI on the workforce will, however, vary significantly depending on the field of activity. 46% of administrative tasks and 44% of professional tasks in the legal field could be automated in the future. In contrast, AI will sink its sharp claws into only 6% of jobs in the construction sector. And in the maintenance sector, this technology will replace only 4% of jobs.
The so-called "white-collar workers" , educated workers whose tasks are directly related to legal advice and administration, would therefore be the most affected by AI.
