Artificial intelligence (AI) is changing how we work, sparking a debate about its effects. Some say it will reduce jobs, while others think it will improve work. A recent study in 2023 by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), looked at how AI is affecting jobs in different countries. Here's what it found:
AI is automating tasks, affecting jobs across different skills.
Most people still have jobs, but new jobs are fewer.
There's a demand for people with AI skills.
AI changes the skills people need for their jobs.
AI can make work easier but also more stressful.
People should have a say in how AI is used at work.
The study also found that AI affects different groups differently:
Older workers may struggle to learn new skills.
Low-skilled workers may have trouble finding jobs that use AI.
Men in manufacturing benefit more from AI, as it makes their jobs safer.
AI can help non-native English speakers find jobs.
To help everyone, policymakers need to make rules and programs that support workers as AI becomes more common.
