Almost 100M jobs could be lost to AI, automation: Senate report
AI and automation threaten 40% of nurses, 47% of truck drivers, and 89% of fast food workers, with corporate automation aimed at cutting labor costs, Senate Democrats say.
- On Monday, Senate Democrats released a report warning artificial intelligence and automation could displace nearly 100 million United States jobs over the next decade using ChatGPT-based analysis.
- Amid rising corporate investment in AI, Amazon, Walmart, UnitedHealth Group, and JPMorgan Chase tell investors they will slash payrolls while rewarding CEOs with $25 million and $35 million pay packages.
- The report found 40% of registered nurses could be replaced, with 47% of truck drivers and 89% of fast food and counter workers—about 3,000,000 jobs—also at risk.
- To offset job losses, lawmakers propose funding retraining and support, while Senate Democrats push a 'robot tax' and 32-hour workweek to aid displaced workers.
- Researchers including Mark Muro warned large AI job loss projections may not emerge quickly, while Goldman Sachs researchers set a 6%–7% displacement baseline and Ted Cruz unveiled the 'AI Action Plan' legislative framework last month.
