In this era of rapid popularization of AI, everyone will have some anxiety about AI replacement. The latest statement from Microsoft AI CEO has further deepened this anxiety. Mustafa Suleyman, CEO of Microsoft's artificial intelligence department, recently made a blockbuster prediction in a conversation with the Financial Times.Within the next 12 to 18 months, many white-collar jobs will be fully automated by artificial intelligence.
He made it clear that positions such as legal, accounting, marketing and project management will face major changes,Such jobs will be replaced by artificial intelligence systems,The forecast also echoes the recent trend of layoffs in the tech industry as it reorganizes in response to the shift to AI..
Suleiman emphasized that with the exponential growth of computing power, artificial intelligence will be able to achieve human-level performance in most professional tasks. In the next 18 months, many tasks that need to be done sitting in front of a computer will be fully automated.
According to employment consulting firm Challenger Gray & Christmas, approximately 55,000 job losses in 2025 will be related to artificial intelligence.
At present, the impact of artificial intelligence in the field of professional services is still relatively limited, but Suleiman is confident in this. He believes that this technology can improve the productivity of white-collar industries. In the future, creating new artificial intelligence models will be as simple as making a podcast or writing a blog article. All kinds of institutions, organizations and individuals can design AI systems that suit their own needs.
It is reported that Suleiman’s core mission is to achieve AI super intelligence, help Microsoft achieve artificial intelligence self-sufficiency, reduce dependence on OpenAI, and prioritize the construction of the company’s independent basic model.
