They suggest that, initially, there could be a significant shock as certain tasks become more affordable and attractive to automate. However, the subsequent effects are expected to be incremental rather than an abrupt takeover of jobs by AI.
Fine-Tuning
The researchers claim there will be challenges of fine-tuning and customization in generative AI. They emphasize that these processes remain cost restrictive. This adds a layer of complexity to the narrative, suggesting that the customization required for certain tasks is not currently economically viable.
The MIT study provides another perspective on the intersection of AI and employment. While concerns persist, this latest research indicates that the widespread replacement of human jobs by AI is not an imminent threat.
