What is the result of a data-based analysis of 'what is the freelance job that is most being taken over by AI'?
The development of AI is making human life more comfortable in various fields, but on the other hand, there are concerns that ``human jobs may be taken over by AI.''
The jobs being replaced by AI - an analysis of 5M freelancing jobs - bloomberry

Bloomberry analyzed jobs posted on Upwork from November 1, 2022, to February 14, 2024, one month before ChatGPT was released, and determined which jobs were negatively impacted by the advent of generative AI. I investigated what was going on. The reason why we focused on freelance work rather than large companies such as Microsoft and Amazon is that AI tools are introduced faster in the freelance market than in large companies, and that the freelance market is less affected by layoffs at technology companies. I am listing things that I do not accept. In fact, Upwork's quarterly revenue is on the rise, and it is difficult to think of any other factor other than the ``emergence of generative AI'' to explain the decline in job information.
The graph below shows the popular categories on Upwork: 'Graphics Design,' 'Web Design,' 'Web Development,' 'Writing,' and 'Social Media Marketing.' 'Video Editing/Production' 'Customer Service' 'Translation' 'Accounting' 'Sales' 'Backend Development' 'Market Research' This chart shows changes in the number of job openings from the start of the survey to the end of the survey for 12 job categories called '(Market Research)'. ``Writing'' jobs decreased by 33%, ``Customer Service'' jobs decreased by 16%, ``Translation'' jobs decreased by 19%, and ``Social Media Marketing'' jobs also decreased slightly.
Among the jobs for which the number of job openings is decreasing, ``writing,'' ``customer service,'' and ``translation'' are all fields in which AI that generates text such as ChatGPT seems to be good at. On the other hand, video editing and production jobs increased by 39%, graphic design by 8%, and web design by 10%, indicating that some jobs will not be affected by the advent of generative AI.
Henry Chiu, an analyst at Bloomberry, said generative AI tools such as ChatGPT could be powerful enough to replace many writing tasks, such as writing articles and posting to social media. pointing out. On the other hand, he said that the performance for tasks such as video and image generation is still insufficient, so tasks such as video editing may not be replaced.
Bloomberry also analyzes the impact on freelance hourly wages based on the estimated hourly wage specified in job information. If you look at the graph below showing the change in hourly wages from the start of the survey to the end of the survey, you can see that the hourly wage for 'translation' in particular has fallen by more than 20%.
Furthermore, when Bloomberry investigated ``jobs for which the number of job openings has increased with the advent of generative AI'', surprisingly, the number of job openings for jobs such as ``dataset labeling'' and ``machine learning engineer'' have not increased. It turns out that. The jobs that were actually increasing were 'AI chatbot development,' 'ChatGPT API integration,' and 'AI application development.'
It has been reported that among the jobs actually being advertised on Upwork, there was a job to generate thumbnail images for YouTube videos using MidJourney, an image generation AI. It seems that technology is required to generate high-quality images, and the hourly wage was 50 to 65 dollars (about 7,600 to 9,800 yen).
'One lesson from this is that the vast majority of companies don't develop their own large-scale language models or tune their AI models with large amounts of training data,' Chiu said. What we're doing now is integrating OpenAI's API into existing products and developing chatbots to replace humans in customer service.'
