Tech Giants Collaborate to Address AI's Impact on Jobs

Big Tech companies, including Google and Microsoft, are forming a group led by Cisco to study how artificial intelligence might affect technology jobs, with unions like AFL-CIO and CWA as advisors. The rise of generative AI has raised concerns about job displacement, with some workers in fields like writing and coding already experiencing job loss. The group aims to produce a report with actionable insights for business leaders and workers, focusing on 56 technology jobs, but details on the specific jobs are yet to be determined. While tech executives often downplay job loss concerns, they emphasize the potential for AI to make existing workers more efficient.
