A new study has revealed that artificial intelligence (AI) will replace 40% of jobs in the next 15 years. Presently, companies such as Microsoft and Facebook are recruiting robots to positions within their companies.
A leading AI expert has said that the trend is set to continue throughout the 21st century as companies become increasingly dependent on technology. RS components analyzed job posts from some of the world's biggest tech companies to find out which had the highest percentage of AI-related employment, with Microsoft leading the way with 1,964 AI employment - equivalent to 36% of the total jobs they can offer. The US-based Nvidia, which designs graphics processing units for video games, followed in second place with 837 of AI job openings, equating to 33%.
An RS components spokesman said, "the Google Exec stated that AI will allow new industries to be built from the scratch up with automation in mind. AI will be cheaper than human employees. However, it will also create new roles, as well as replace recent ones."
Nikolas Kairinos, CEO and founder of Fountech.ai, who is an expert in the development and integration of AI solutions to enhance organisations' products and services, in a statement, said, "it should come as a surprise that big tech companies are increasing their number of AI-related jobs. We can see that the companies listed in the research are already using different types of AI-technology to enhance the way they interact with their users and customers. "
Again, he said, "this should not be a call for panic. As with a new technological invention, people often fear the worst-case scenario when this often proves not to be the case. AI is making our jobs better, removing the need for us to complete difficult and time consuming jobs, to instead concentrating on more important ones."
