AI will transform work more than replace jobs, study finds

SMRTR summary

New research analyzing nearly 3,000 workplace skills reveals that generative AI will likely transform jobs rather than eliminate them wholesale, with 26% of posted positions facing "high" transformation potential. While jobs requiring cognitive tasks like software development face greater automation risk than physical roles like nursing, only 0.7% of skills were deemed "very likely" to be fully replaced by AI, suggesting the technology will become an important workplace tool rather than a mass job destroyer.
