Deep Tide TechFlow News, February 26 — Morgan Stanley’s latest research report states that artificial intelligence will not lead to widespread permanent unemployment but will change the employment structure and create entirely new job roles. The report references the history of technological changes over the past 150 years, noting that technological advances from electrification to the internet have transformed the labor market but have not replaced human labor. It is expected that new positions such as Chief AI Officer and AI Governance Expert will emerge in the future, along with hybrid roles across various industries. However, some economists warn that, unlike in the past, automation of cognitive tasks by AI may devalue human expertise, potentially decoupling corporate profit growth from employment growth. Currently, 30% of AI “adopter” companies report achieving quantifiable financial or productivity gains, a significant increase from 16% a year ago.
