Exposure to artificial intelligence in Canadian jobs : experimental estimates / by Tahsin Mehdi and Marc Frenette.: CS36-28-0001/2024-9-4E-PDF

"Recent developments in artificial intelligence (AI) have raised questions about the future of work. Debates centre primarily around the possibility of AI displacing some human workers. Predicting the effects of technological transformation on the labour market is challenging. This is especially true for AI given the uncertainty surrounding the breadth of its potential; the pace of its development and implementation; and how workers, businesses and governments might react and adapt. Past studies on technological transformation examined the potential impact of automation on the Canadian labour market (Frenette and Frank, 2020). Automation is generally understood to be the use of machines to perform simple, routine and non-cognitive tasks. AI, on the other hand, can perform complex, non-routine and cognitive tasks. AI’s capabilities are growing, and it is unclear how powerful it may be in the future"--Page 1.
