Daily Mail - Looking for an employment/tech expert to discuss which roles are most likely to be affected by generative AI

ended 02. February 2023

A Mail Online journalist is looking for an expert to discuss the specific roles and industries which are liable to be affected by large language models such as ChatGPT - and which are least. 

What timescale will this happen on? Is ChatGPT a tool, or something that replaces people wholesale? How can workers respond? What roles are least likely to be displaced?

Language models like ChatGPT complement, rather than replace, human workers. Currently, roles in language-based industries such as content creation, marketing, and research are the most susceptible to impact. The key for managers and organizations is to leverage these tools to enhance work performance and efficiency, not to fully outsource to computers. The human touch and creativity will always play a crucial role in the workplace.

AI will have a dramatic impact on UK small businesses as well as employment and skills. OpenAI’s GPT-3.5, or ‘Chat Generative Pre-Trained Transformer’, empowers small businesses to compete with larger competitors by automating content generation, although human input is still needed to check for errors. That will not be the case by the time ChatGPT-10 or 20 is launched. Automation in sales pipeline management and the production of highly personalised content and communications will increase revenues. Automation is key to the success of UK small businesses which represent 50% of our GDP. AI will mean that humans will be forced to add more personality and creativity to be valued. Nesta research proposed that the safest jobs and businesses will be sole traders which equates to 4 million of the UK’s 5.5 million businesses.
