MIT Study: AI Impact – 11.7% of US Jobs at Risk
An MIT-ORNL study introduces the Iceberg Index, a labor simulation tool, projecting AI could impact 11.7% of US workers, representing $1.2 trillion in wages. The index models 151 million workers, mapping skills across occupations and assessing AI’s capabilities. Findings suggest significant impacts beyond tech, affecting routine functions in diverse sectors. States like Tennessee and Utah are using the Index to develop workforce policies, uncovering localized effects missed by conventional tools and enabling proactive workforce planning through scenario experimentation.
