    Study Notes

    Introduction to AI in the Workplace

    • Discussion questions on AI sentience and decision-making capabilities.
    • Consideration of AI's effectiveness in solving critical versus less rigid problems.
    • Ethical concerns regarding AI accountability for actions causing harm.

    Impact of AI on Employment

    • Industries affected by AI categorized into jobs positively, negatively, and unaffected.

    Jobs Positively Affected

    • Medical Sector: AI algorithms successfully identify and classify brain injuries from CT scans, improving personalized treatment and hospital efficiency.
    • Nuclear Power Plants: AI enhances safety by supporting operators in event diagnosis, signal validation, and autonomous control, reducing human error risks.

    Jobs Negatively Affected

    • Employment Effects by Income Group:
      • Low-income countries: 0.4% of total employment exposed to automation.
      • High-income countries: 5.5% exposed, with gender disparities showing higher risks for women.
      • Augmentation impacts: 10.4% in low-income, 13.4% in high-income.
    • Generative AI Risks: Significant threat to high-wage, white-collar jobs as tasks are more susceptible to AI substitution compared to low-wage occupations, where manual tasks are more likely automated.

    Jobs Unaffected by AI

    • Research & Development: Workers in R&D view their roles as secure due to the creative and emotional skill demands that AI cannot meet.
    • Emphasis on the need for continuous learning to adapt to technological changes for job security.

    Essential Employee Attributes

    • Eight skill groups for employability identified as:
      • Communication skills
      • Teamwork skills
      • Problem-solving skills
      • Initiative and enterprise skills
      • Planning and organizing skills
      • Self-management skills
      • Learning skills
      • Technology skills

    Relationship Between AI, Skills, and Employment Growth

    • Higher software skill demands correlate with employment growth amidst AI advancements.
    • AI can replace simpler job functions, such as translations or research, but not strategic, creative, or critical thinking abilities.

    Discussions and Interactive Elements

    • Kahoot! quiz to engage participants on AI-related topics.
