A recent survey of AI-employing business organizations indicate that the deployment of AI-based processes might actually be creating more jobs and not destroying them as previously feared.
Jon C. Ogg reported on the surprising news that AI might be creating more jobs for 24/7WallSt:
Dun & Bradstreet conducted a survey of attendees at the recent AI World Conference and Expo, and respondents from 40% of the organizations said that their companies actually are adding more jobs as a result of deploying artificial intelligence in their businesses. That may not make for a majority of firms, but only 8% of the organizations had indicated that they were cutting jobs after deploying artificial intelligence. Of the “other” respondents, 34% reported that job demand is staying the same and 18% said that artificial intelligence has had no impact on their workforce.
There also appears to be a learning curve when comes to using AI and interpreting the results. Dun & Bradstreet’s survey noted that 46% of respondents said that they have at least some difficulty understanding how their AI systems arrive at their conclusions. And only about one-third of respondents said that they fully understand how their AI systems have come to their conclusions.
Organizations are most likely (62% of respondents) to use AI for analytics. Another 52% said AI will be used for automation and 42% for data management. Dun & Bradstreet showed that another 29% are using AI for back-end systems improvements, and 23% were using AI for consumer-facing chatbots.
