Next automation wave hits office, cognitive and creative jobs

Artificial intelligence is a kind of computer technology that can learn to do tasks that people do.

In the past, people thought the jobs most at risk from technology were on factory floors.

Now, AI is moving up the career ladder and can handle thinking jobs.

It is targeting tasks that involve reasoning, analysis, and creativity.

The jobs now most at risk are in offices, campuses, and innovation hubs.

People used to think those workplaces were safe from any technology disruption.

This means the next automation wave affects work in many different places.

The kinds of jobs considered at risk are changing as AI improves.

Workers will need to understand these changes as automation reaches new areas of work.
