MIT study: AI could complete 60% of US text-based tasks
Business
A new MIT study found LLMs already completed about 60% of US text-based work tasks at a 'minimally sufficient' level; researchers project AI could reach roughly 80%-95% proficiency on these tasks by 2029 (at a 'minimally sufficient' level).
The good news? This shift is expected to be gradual, giving people time to pick up new skills and adapt.
Keith Spencer urges learning AI skills
MIT researchers found that while AI can handle most basic tasks, jobs needing high precision will stick around longer.
Career expert Keith Spencer suggests focusing on skills that are harder for AI to copy.
Plus, Keith Spencer points out that AI is also creating freelance gigs and new opportunities, so learning how to work with AI could be a smart move as the job market evolves.
