Suleyman’s Take on Job Market
Suleyman predicted that the workforce across the globe will witness major changes in the near future, where every individual who does their job on a computer could be at risk of losing their job. The Microsoft AI chief further explained, “White-collar jobs, essentially those sitting in front of computers, whether lawyers, accountants, project managers, or marketers, most of these tasks will be fully automated by AI within the next 12 to 18 months.”
Reports suggest that Salesforce, a cloud services platform in the US, reportedly dismissed up to 1,000 employees earlier this month as the company’s CEO focuses on integrating artificial intelligence into certain positions. Similar reports have surfaced in recent weeks concerning major tech firms like Amazon, FedEx, and Ericsson.
