[flagged] MIT Report Claims 11.7% of U.S. Labor Can Be Replaced with Existing AI (iceberg.mit.edu)

Wildly misreported headline

>The Index measures where AI systems overlap with the skills used in each occupation. A score reflects the share of wage value linked to skills where current AI systems show technical capability. For example, a score of 12% means AI overlaps with skills representing 12% of that occupation’s wage value, not 12% of jobs. This reflects skill overlap, not job displacement.

>The Index reports technical skill overlap with AI. It does not estimate job loss, workforce reductions, adoption timelines or net employment effects.


> MIT Report Claims 11.7% of U.S. Labor Can Be Replaced with Existing AI

Trying to keep the bubble alive




Didn't MIT also publish a similar report saying most AI implementations don't add any value, or something similar?


It's basically an ad


Not 11.6%, not 11.8%, but 11.7%.


I agree. In my physics lab class, the T.A. would get super unhappy if you keep too many decimal places. I call bullshit on that 7.


So? That is nothing compared to tractors, steam engines, automated looms.


Title is wildliy misleading, check.

Its been apparent for a while now that the only yaysayers left either are CEOs or just havent tried the tech yet.
