40% of French employees fear that their job will disappear with automation, figures the statistical data portal Statista. This fear might increase as generative artificial intelligence disrupts the legal world, the development of new materials, and even artistic creation, as we can see with the rise of software such as the chatbot ChatGPT. However, new, surprising professions will appear. Overview.
According to a study initiated by the University of Oxford and Yale University [Lien en anglais]and which mobilized no less than 350 artificial intelligence researchers, machines will surpass humans in a large number of tasks by 2062. Published in 2017, this study explained that computer programs would be able to write complete books from 2049, or to fulfill certain surgical tasks in 2053.
While so-called generative artificial intelligence promises, with tools like ChatGPT, to upset the creation of texts, the scenario of video games, or even the manufacture of new materials, the fear of job losses is growing. Especially since, according to a study published by the European Center for the Development of Training, European countries are not all prepared to the same degree for this upheaval. Fortunately, new professions, exciting and useful, will gain momentum, such as those of artificial intelligence ethicist, teacher in the era of augmented reality or ethical hacker.
