Microsoft Study Identifies 40 Jobs Most and Least Impacted by Generative AI Including Interpreters with 98% AI Overlap

Microsoft released a study analyzing 200,000 conversations with its Copilot chatbot to identify the careers most and least affected by generative AI. The study highlights 40 jobs at the highest risk of being impacted by AI, including interpreters, translators, historians, teachers, sales representatives, and customer service roles. Interpreters and translators face up to 98% AI overlap, indicating a substantial potential for automation. Conversely, the study also lists 40 professions considered most secure from AI disruption, such as phlebotomists, nurses, hazardous material removal workers, and embalmers. Additional insights indicate that employment among college graduates in AI-intensive and non-intensive sectors grew by 5% between the rollout of ChatGPT in November 2022 and recent data, with unemployment rising in computer science but declining in several other AI-exposed majors. Elon Musk has commented that AI is already outperforming most doctors and expects it to surpass human capabilities in various jobs, including his own.
