Almost 4,000 Americans Lost Their Jobs In May Because They Were Replaced By Artificial Intelligence

For those wondering when Artificial Intelligence will start replacing human jobs, the answer is it already has.

Artificial Intelligence contributed to nearly 4,000 job losses last month, according to data from Challenger, Gray & Christmas, as interest in the rapidly evolving technology’s ability to perform advanced organizational tasks and lighten workloads has intensified.

The report released Thursday by the outplacement firm shows that layoff announcements from U.S.-based employers reached more than 80,000 in May — a 20% jump from the prior month and nearly four times the level for the same month last year.

Of those cuts, AI was responsible for 3,900, or roughly 5% of all jobs lost, making it the seventh-highest contributor to employment losses in May cited by employers.

Artificial intelligence is one of the most rapidly developing fields in the technology industry. AI is now used in a variety of fields, including healthcare, transportation, and security. Multiple sectors demand the knowledge of experienced AI specialists as a result of this increase.

Artificial intelligence is the science and engineering of teaching computers to do activities that require human intellect, such as perception, speech recognition, decision-making, and language translation.

It is a discipline of computer science dedicated to the development of intelligent systems.
