AI RESEARCH

AI Still Too Costly to Replace Most Workers, MIT Study Shows

A new study from MIT suggests fears of widespread job loss due to AI are currently unfounded. The study only looked at jobs requiring visual analysis — that is, jobs such as final inspection of products for defects or quality control of food. Researchers found only 23% of vision-related job tasks can be cost-effectively automated by AI systems at this time. Here are the key insights:

• Merely 3% of visually-assisted occupations can presently displace human labor in an economically viable capacity

• Despite forecasts of ongoing AI cost reductions, projections indicate half of applicable tasks will still favor human work through 2026

The analysis cites core deficiencies in emerging AI technologies which preclude the rapid displacement of human roles:

• High upfront and maintenance costs of AI systems

• Inability of AI to match humans on tasks necessitating subjective discernment or intuitive assessments

In summary, while AI efficiency gains could heighten adoption, concerns appear sensationalized given economic and technical barriers inhibiting the technology's capabilities for the near future. However, it is worth noting that certain industries may be more susceptible to AI automation.

Microsoft forms a new Gen AI team to develop cheaper models

Seeking more affordable artificial intelligence, Microsoft created an internal group called Gen AI. The team aims to build conversational systems needing less processing power versus models from partner OpenAI. This could reduce reliance on costly licensing from OpenAI, which currently enables various Microsoft products like Bing chatbot capabilities. The report also notes that Microsoft has moved several top developers from its research group to this new team.
