Which Canada jobs will survive the AI intervention?

The recent data released by Statistics Canada on September 3, 2024, contradicted the changes brought in by technology that affected automation and less educated workers doing physical tasks. Artificial Intelligence (AI) includes highly developed algorithms that conduct non-routine tasks, model languages, and outdo cognitive tasks.

 

The top 3 types of jobs that would survive the AI intervention are as follows:

 

• Jobs that are highly exposed to AI but combine human tasks and AI capabilities
• Jobs that are highly exposed to chances of being replaced by AI
• Jobs that are not highly exposed to AI

 

AI’s Influence on the Canadian Labor Market

Recent studies reveal AI's impact on Canada's labor market. They show that AI replacement and inclusion would be majorly for legal, institutional, and financial purposes. In the upcoming days, workers will adapt and coexist with changing technologies. The rise of automation will influence the retail, customer service, and manufacturing industries.

 

Studies by Statistics Canada showed that in May 2021, 50% of workers with a Bachelor’s degree or higher were in positions that were more exposed to AI when compared to the 13% of workers with a high school diploma or lesser degree. Canada is working on advancing AI technologies to promote the country's economy and quality of life.

What are the policies implemented by the Government to promote AI?

Some of the policies and prospects introduced by the Canadian Government to merge AI with the labor workforce are given below:

 

• Introducing educational initiatives and government programs to help workers adapt to AI
• Policies to create new job opportunities and avid job displacements
• Measures to promote innovation in research and development, ethical regulation, and AI governance

 

As per the IBM 2023 study, 3,000 executives were surveyed on generative AI, with some finding it helpful while others expressed concerns. Around 75% responded positively, saying it would give them a competitive edge, while 43% found it useful for strategic business purposes. 57% of individuals had doubts about data security, and 48% were worried about unfairness.

 

Artificial intelligence is changing the labor market landscape, creating more opportunities for workers to adapt and up skill themselves. The job market will likely thrive in the future with the amalgamation of AI and the human workforce.
