   Description:   
   Report claims 70% of 22,000 tasks could be transformed or even replaced by    
   AI, but we need better guidance.   
      
   FULL STORY   
   ======================================================================   
    - Most white-collar jobs could be affected by artificial intelligence   
    - Organizational and analytical tasks are more at-risk, IPPR report finds   
    - AI policies should focus more on AI adoption   
      
   New research from the Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR) has    
   revealed how profound the effects of AI are on knowledge workers, with more   
   than two-thirds of tasks in white-collar roles at risk of being affected by   
   artificial intelligence.    
      
   The report specifically details how generative AI is transforming jobs that   
   rely on computer-based tasks, such as project management, marketing and   
   administrative support.    
      
   It found up to 70% of the 22,000 analyzed tasks could be either transformed    
   or replaced by AI.   
      
   White-collar jobs are at risk of AI transformation    
      
   Organisational and strategic tasks and repetitive and non-repetitive    
   cognitive and analytical tasks were revealed to be among the most likely to   
   see productivity and efficiency enhancements from AI, however now that AI is   
   evolving from a novelty to a genuine aid, the IPPR is calling for better   
   guidance.    
      
   The reports author and IPPRs Head of AI, Carsten Jung, said too many policies   
   focus on either accelerating AI adoption or ensuring its safety, but very few   
   actually set out a clear and purposeful direction for AI adoption.    
      
   The launch of AI agents shows AI is different from past technologies," Jung   
   commented, "AI technology could have a seismic impact on economy and society:   
   it will transform jobs, destroy old ones, create new ones, trigger the   
   development of new products and services and allow us to do things we could   
   not do before.    
      
   IPPR is urging governments to set clear policies, establish measurable   
   targets, partner with private sector and civil society to guide development   
   and to ensure that AI advancements remain aligned with public interest.    
      
   Jung added: Politics needs to catch up with the implications of powerful AI.   
   Beyond just ensuring AI models are safe, we need to determine what goals we   
   want to achieve.
