Customer operations, marketing and sales, software engineering, and R&D make up around 75% of the value that generative AI use cases might provide.
Examples of employment positions that AI has already replaced include copywriters, programmers, exam markers, bank database managers, web developers, and customer service representatives. There is compelling evidence to indicate that paralegals, legal assistants, professors, engineers, surgeons, graphic designers, human resources professionals, and many more jobs might be replaced by AI. Large language models (LLMs) are predicted to have an impact on at least 10% of the employment held by 80% of American workers, according to ChatGPT.
