Researchers at Microsoft tried to determine which precise jobs are most and least likely to be replaced by generative AI — and the results are bad news for anyone currently enjoying the perks of a cushy desk job.

As detailed in a yet-to-be-peer-reviewed paper, the Microsoft team analyzed a “dataset of 200k anonymized and privacy-scrubbed conversations between users and Microsoft Bing Copilot,” and found that the occupations most likely to be made obsolete by the tech involve “providing information and assistance, writing, teaching, and advising.”

The team used the data to come up with an “AI applicability score,” an effort to quantify just how vulnerable each given occupation is, taking into consideration how often AI is already being used there and how successful those efforts have been.
