How likely is your job to be automated?

[Rain Man]

Here's a link to do a lookup: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/201...niversity-one/. You can do a search in the table.

There may be nuanced differences, so look up synonyms for your job. For example, my initial guess of market research analyst is 61% likely to be automated, but survey researcher is only 23 percent likely to be automated, and management analysis is only 13 percent. I might also be a marketing manager (kind of), which is only 1.4 percent likely. If I average these, I figure I'm about 24.6 percent likely to have my job go away in the future.

Seems like the should also look at how MUCH of a job is likely to be automated. The jobs like data entry and bookkeeping and jobs focused around singular, well-defined tasks. Jobs like “engineering” are not so singular. Sure, many of the tasks performed by an engineer can and will become automated, but defining the problem to be solved and setting in which it will be implemented involves other tasks which will never be automated because they are unique and the risk to human safety from having the entire process automated is too great.

they can’t automate artistic talent. But, business can get hurt by people getting laid off. That would effect the commercial side of art. Less disposable income to spend on art by the public. As far as automation goes, your talent may be one of the best suited to not be affected.

I don't know their methodology, but it seems like it might not be actual jobs getting eliminated, but rather the mundane parts of jobs being eliminated and then the remaining tasks being Consolidated into fewer FTEs. At least, that's how I would envision it.

Agreed, that would make more sense. The jobs with a higher percentage of mundane tasks will be affected to a greater degree.

Not just any AI could sit on their ass all day. I’m safe, ha.

There’s no selection for creative director, so Advertising Manager: 3.9%. BUT automation around my job has made my job less fun and more tedious, overall. Especially for young employees. Used to be we made mostly TV commercials, radio and billboards and print. The stuff was around for a month or more. It had to be considered. Crafted. It had to command attention. Now we have to make 12-100 times the ads in the same amount of time, to spread across social media. They come and go in a day. Bots serve different versions of ads to different people, based on what website they’re visiting, or social platform they’re on, and what they like on those platforms. So we have to write dozens of headlines, often create dozens of visuals etc. it’s quantity over quality a lot of the time.

And try to do it without offending anyone ?????
I would guess that part has become insufferable.
