Do you want an AI prevention job?
Rethink your plans to pursue a career in book maintenance, marketing and programming, and instead consider nursing, construction, or hospitality jobs.
A major new report has modelled the potential impact of artificial intelligence on the workforce and finds why Australia is optimistic about the future of workers in the world transformed by AI.
JSA Commissioner Bernie Glover said he knows we exaggerate the end-of-life predictions about the end-of-work. Still, the impact will be enormous.
“The comprehensive message is that almost every occupation is augmented by AI. It doesn't make a difference at which sector you are in, or at which skill level: you're affected by AI,” Glover said.

In the most comprehensive study of this type in Australia, JSA evaluated occupations according to how well it can be automated or automated or enhanced by artificial intelligence.
“Many administrative tasks that were not affected by the previous wave of automation can be largely undertaken by Gen AI,” the report found.
We then modeled future employment growth for the entire occupation until the middle of the century, comparing those predictions to a world without AI.
The report found that office clerks, receptionists, bookkeepers, sales, marketing and public relations experts, business and systems analysts and programmers would lose the most jobs by 2050.
In contrast, the occupations that employment gained most were cleaner and laundry workers, administrative and safety, management managers, construction and mining workers, and hospitality workers.
However, an important finding in the report was that AI is much more likely to change rather than exchange.
“Now, almost half of all workers are in occupations with low automation and moderate enhancement scores, suggesting that occupations are more likely to experience change than disruption,” the report said.
More jobs, just different jobs
The JSA modeled employment growth in three scenarios in which AI is being recruited and embedded between now and 2050.
We found that AI would slow employment growth until the 2030s, but we found that it would lead to faster growth over the next decade. In all three scenarios, by 2050 there was more Australian work in a world with AI.
The analysis suggests that the most significant employment effect in the decade may not be seen, which may coincide with the time taken for deeper recruitment and related structural changes,” the report states.
Although AI adoption is in a very early stage, some jobs have already been devastated by the introduction of the economy.
After the newsletter promotion
The JSA said they heard about the decline in “important” work in audio actor jobs thanks to Genai.
Although there are reports that employers are deploying AI to complete low-level tasks that were once the domain of university graduates, there is no extensive evidence of the phenomenon yet.
Large companies are embracing AI and are affecting workers.
The CBA recently x dozens of call centre jobs and replaced them with chatbots.
In May, Telstra CEO Vicki Brady said “AI efficiency” would allow the workforce to be reduced by 2030, but the Telco giant denied that last month's announcement of 550 job cuts was a result of technology.
There's no time to waste
Given the rapid evolution of AI, Glover said there was a “sense of urgency” when it came to taking steps to give Australians the tools and skills they need to thrive in the Aighe-Aigmented workplace.
He said it requires a “national leadership framework” led by the Union and includes government at all levels.
“Let's make sure the education and training sector is ready and ready. AI is a fundamental skill now. Everyone will be some form of “quick engineer.”
“We want to prove young people in the future, so let them give them the skills they need.
“Cognitive and critical thinking skills are needed, and therefore it is important to support the humanities and social sciences that have developed these critical thinking skills for centuries.”
Glover agreed with Actu that there is a “strong argument” that employers should work with staff by “co-designing” AI implementation in the workplace.
“The best way to get the best results for workers and employers is to bring workers along, which must be a positive way to move forward.
“We won't mention it in the report, but these are economic roundtables. [next week] It can be argued and I hope they do. ”
