'AI will take 20% of all jobs within five YEARS,' expert warns trends now
The launch of ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence chatbot, late last year marked a new era in AI - and sparked widespread fears over the effect of artificial intelligence on the job market.
Its abilities to write poems, screenplays, take exams and simulate entire chat rooms have led some to suggest it could rapidly take over jobs in customer service, copywriting and even the legal profession.
Microsoft invested $10 billion in ChatGPT and said that the technology will change how people interact with computers.
‘I believe that ChatGPT could replace 20 percent of the workforce as is,’ AI expert Richard DeVere, Head of Social Engineering for Ultima, told DailyMail.com.
‘ChatGPT is no fad – it’s a new technological revolution.
‘Robots aren’t necessarily coming for your jobs, but a human with a robot will do.

'This isn’t just a new fad like Bitcoin, NFTs or smart contact lenses – this is happening and it’s showing no sign of slowing down.’
DeVere continued: ‘It won’t be an overnight process where humans are automatically being replaced by robots – the first wave will be from less experienced people who are using AI tools to assist with their everyday tasks.’
Several companies are already offering artificial intelligence solutions to automate ‘human’ jobs - such as Jounce AI, which promises ‘unlimited free AI copywriting’.

In the UK, ChatGPT was able to secure a place on a shortlist for a job interview (one of just 20 percent to do so) by completing a writing task.
DeVere said that he knows several people who are using the technology already in their jobs - and warns that we are just at the start of the AI revolution.
‘We’re only just in ChatGPT’s early stages. I dread to think what we could expect to see a specialist in AI and workforces do,' he continued.
‘The possibilities of the use cases with ChatGPT are endless. We’ve seen examples of people using the platform from everything to learning how to fix their car, to writing explicit code for hacks.’
But DeVere said that contrary to some warnings about the technology, people in the creative professions should be safe in their jobs - for now.
He says that creative professionals should embrace the technology and use it to augment their own skills.
‘People in creative professions needn’t worry – instead, they should embrace the developments,' said DeVere.
