When I spoke at the Maryland Career Development Association annual conference last month, I enjoyed a keynote address from the president of the National Career Development Association, Sharon Givens. Among other fascinating trends and facts, she shared these about automation:
- 47% of US employment is at high risk of automation in the next decade or two (Oxford Martin School)
- Roughly 50% of work activities are automatable using current technology (McKinsey Global Institute)
- In 2022 AI will eliminate 75 million jobs (World Economic Forum)
- Over the next few decades approximately 25% of US employment will have experienced high exposure to automation (Brookings Institute)
Then the coolest thing was her introducing a website where you could look up your job to see the chances of a robot taking your job!
