Economists Warn of AI’s Growing Impact on White-Collar Jobs
Major companies like JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs, Ford, and Salesforce are actively integrating AI to streamline operations, potentially leading to workforce reductions. Goldman Sachs estimates 6-7% of US workers could be displaced, while others project significant job creation in AI-related fields. Executives emphasize AI’s potential to automate tasks across various sectors, impacting roles from customer service to software development. While some data suggests a minimal immediate impact, the long-term effects on the labor market are expected to be substantial, requiring proactive workforce preparation.
