AI not likely to take your job, Australian study finds

Up to 79 per cent of Aussies will only have generative AI automate very small parts of their job, according to data from a study commissioned by the Australian government.

It was tasked with defining the potential impact of generative AI on the Australian workforce and outlining recommendations as different sectors adopt the technology.

The report also highlights other supposed benefits of generative AI in the workforce, saying it is increasing skills in much of the Australian workforce.

“The technology is increasing demand for both digital literacy and higher-order human skills like critical thinking, communication, and adaptability, while also intensifying the pace of occupational skill evolution,” it said.

Areas such as tech and finance have been strong adopters of AI in these early stages, but other businesses are showing reluctance for many reasons.

“Other [fields] remain in early stages due to barriers like workforce skills, organisational readiness, and regulatory uncertainty,” it said.

It also admitted some Australians may become marginalised or be at greater risk of unemployment in the AI boom: “Women, older workers, First Nations Australians, and people with disability may face disproportionate risks due to occupational concentration and digital access gaps.”
