US EditionMicrosoft Research: Which Jobs Overlap Most with AI Tasks?
JUL 29 – Microsoft researchers analyzed 200,000 conversations with Copilot to identify 40 professions most vulnerable to AI automation in information and communication roles.
- Microsoft researchers analyzed over 200,000 Bing Copilot conversations during nine months in 2024 to study AI’s impact on jobs involving information tasks.
- The study focused on which occupations overlap with AI capabilities, finding that jobs centered on providing and communicating information were most affected.
- Professions such as interpreters, translators, writers, journalists, and customer service representatives showed the highest AI applicability, while physical labor jobs remained largely unaffected.
- Lead author Kiran Tomlinson stated AI supports many task activities but cannot fully perform any occupation, and a high applicability score does not mean roles will disappear.
- The findings imply AI will augment some jobs and automate others moderately, but it is too early to predict exact impacts on employment or wages.
