The biggest change in the world of artificial intelligence is about to happen. This could directly impact the jobs of office workers. According to a wired report, OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, is developing an advanced system. It will be automatically capable of performing almost every daily office task more accurately and better than humans. Being trained with real human work data To develop this model, OpenAI is using data from real human work. The company has partnered with ‘Handshake AI’ company for this. Under this, data from past and current office work is being collected from contractors of different professions. This will help AI learn how tasks are completed in the real world. OpenAI has requested two types of data from contractors… The company has asked contractors to provide data about complex tasks that take hours or days to complete. OpenAI wants to see how well their trained new AI models can perform compared to humans. The Company Has Also Considered Data Security Contractors have been given strict instructions to remove ‘proprietary’ (company’s private) and ‘personally identifiable’ information before uploading the data. AI Will Be Able to Work Better Than Humans Many tech industry experts have warned that the increasing use of AI could create difficulties for ‘white collar jobs’ (office workers). OpenAI’s ultimate goal is to achieve ‘Artificial General Intelligence’ (AGI). These 5 sectors could be most affected 1. Data Entry and Administrative Roles: AI can now process data faster and more accurately than humans. People who manage Excel sheets, handle scheduling, or organize data – their work can be completely taken over by AI agents. 2. Content Writing and Basic Coding: The coming time could be challenging for junior developers and basic content writers. Companies are now getting the work of an entire team done with one senior developer/writer and AI help. AI will become even better in the coming time. 3. Customer Support and Call Centers: Chatbots have now become much more ‘human-like’ than before. The way OpenAI is training on ‘real-world’ data, AI will now directly learn to understand and resolve customer complaints. 4. Legal and Paralegal Work: Reading legal documents, extracting important points from them, and conducting research has become easier for AI. Junior lawyers or researchers who work on case studies and drafting, AI can complete their hours of work in minutes. 5. Finance and Accounting: AI’s involvement is increasing in tasks like bookkeeping, tax calculation, and auditing. Accounting firms are now using AI tools on a large scale. This is reducing the need for basic accountants. Experts Say – Skills Must Be Enhanced to Stay Relevant 1. Make AI Your Partner: It’s most important that you learn to operate AI tools related to your field. If you’re a writer, you should know how to properly use tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Grok. If you’re a coder, you should know Co-pilot, and if you’re a designer, you should know tools like Midjourney. 2. Focus on ‘Soft Skills’: AI can process data, but it cannot understand emotions. Team management, negotiation and leadership are qualities that every company will need. Only humans can handle teams during difficult times. 3. Critical Thinking: AI sometimes gives incorrect information. In such cases, ‘critical thinking’ is essential. Checking AI’s output and adapting it according to company needs. Identifying problems and thinking of unique solutions will also keep you ahead of AI. 4. Continuous Learning: Gone are the days when you got a degree once and the job lasted a lifetime. Technology is changing every six months. Keep ‘upskilling’ yourself. Keep an eye on changes happening in the industry. The more updated you stay, the more relevant you will remain.
