The study published on Wednesday focuses on analyzing tasks that artificial intelligence can perform cheaper than humans. However, the authors of the report emphasize that the document concerns primarily the technical capabilities of AI and areas in which replacing humans with technologies is currently possible. However, it does not refer to forecasts regarding the pace of job loss.

The report was based on an extensive analysis of 32,000 professional skills in 923 types of work, covering 3,000 counties in the United States.
So far, artificial intelligence has been used mainly in the high-tech sector. However, according to researchers from MIT, its application can now also cover other areas, such as finance, health care administration, logistics, services, accounting and human resources management.
Previous research by MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory suggested that fully replacing workers with AI in a short period of time is in many cases uneconomic or difficult to achieve.

MIT says: The future is now
As Fortune notes, MIT's latest findings indicate that the era in which the use of artificial intelligence remained in the sphere of future visions is slowly coming to an end. For companies, this means the need to consider wider implementation of these technologies. In turn, for governments, this is a signal to take action to retrain employees, support sectors and regions exposed to rising unemployment, as well as develop social and tax strategies for market areas where AI is beginning to play a key role.
