The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) in the work sphere is more likely to transform the jobs of workers who are more highly educated, according to a report from Statistics Canada (StatCan).
“This is contrary to prior waves of technological transformation, which mainly affected less educated workers.”
The study distinguishes three types of workers: those whose jobs are highly exposed to AI and who might benefit from it because of a high degree of complementarity between their tasks and AI capabilities; those whose jobs are highly exposed to AI and whose tasks might be replaced by AI; and those whose jobs are not highly exposed to AI.
