JAKARTA - A survey involving 16,000 workers found that many employees believe AI can already replace their jobs. Nearly half of respondents admit that AI technology can already surpass them in 'routine tasks' and even be more thorough in paying attention to details.

The findings come just weeks after a leading think tank warned that AI could take over eight million jobs in the UK if the government does not act quickly.

The'super-catastrophic work' is expected to occur in advance on administrative work and entry rates - but will further affect higher-paid jobs in line with the increase in AI sophistication.

Future Work Report by work vacancies website Indeed found that only one in three respondents believed AI would have a positive impact on their role. However, the majority - nine out of ten - are confident they will be able to adapt to change in the next five years.

Workers say that many of their daily responsibilities are ready for automation where three out of five workers say that AI can perform data analysis better than humans.

Routine tasks (48%) and attention to details (45%) are other tasks where workers feel AI has an advantage. Even though repetitive jobs are suitable for AI, workers say they remain confident that they are better at critical thinking, creativity, and emotional intelligence.

Experts have different opinions about the impact of AI on the global labor market - but all agree that this, and already has, has a huge impact.

A Future Work Report by work vacancies website Indeed found that only one in three workers believes AI will increase its work.

BT last year revealed plans to reduce tens of thousands of jobs by 2030 - with about 10,000 to be replaced by technology.

A survey of more than 2,700 AI researchers in January showed that AI will most likely be 'better and cheaper' than humans in each profession in 2116.

Who is most threatened by the AI revolution?

AI is set to have a huge impact on the way we work, where experts predict that AI will be 'better and cheaper' than humans in every profession in 2116.

While tech giants like Google and are marketing it as co-pilot, many fear that AI will replace us completely. Goldman Sachs last year predicted up to 300 million workers worldwide could be lost.

This will most likely affect younger and lower-income people first, with the most automated entry, administrative, and secretary-level jobs.

However, researchers at the Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR) suggested that this would further affect higher revenue in line with AI's sophistication in reasoning and planning.

The estimated date is nearly 50 years earlier than the same estimate made the previous year, highlighting how fast it developed.

Recent surveys of 600 global CEOs have found that many of them are in a hurry to send their'starters' staff to follow the AI bootcamp to keep up with developments.

Hundreds of them admit that they have been secretly using tools like ChatGPT to help them carry out their daily responsibilities and claim to be the result of their own work.

Nick Baxter, chief executive of The IN Group said: "The reality is that many fast-growing companies are still struggling with skills gaps, problems that ultimately undermine growth and slow innovation."

"If we want to build a truly dynamic digital economy, businesses need access to the latest AI talent and technology, allowing ambitious companies to reach their full potential," he added.

Tristan Wilkinson, head of the public sector at AND Digital, said: "The company is Britain's economic pulse, but so many have difficulty following the pace of digital transformation."

"Accelerating sustainable economic growth can only be achieved if the company is given the special support and skills they need to embrace digital initiatives in the long term," he said.

Danny kalinya, Head of Talenta Intelligence at Indeed, said: Unfortunately for workers to feel that AI will change their role, especially as we are not yet fully aware of the impact of AI on the workplace.

However, employees in the UK believe they can adapt and are generally more optimistic about the effects of technology on their work than skeptical, suggesting that they are ready to face any changes that come, added cap.
