Artificial intelligence spooks lawyers the most: Study
Reprints
American lawyers are the most worried about advancements in artificial intelligence, according to a new study, which found that artists, accountants, doctors and data scientists round out the top five. The research, conducted by AI customer support company DevRev, analyzed online search data for terms related to a list of careers, including searches that began with “AI impact on,” “will AI replace,” and “how will AI affect,” to determine the top five jobs most at risk of advancements in AI.
Lawyers are the most worried about AI in the U.S., as it is used to review and analyze large volumes of legal contracts, research relevant case studies, and communicate with clients through chatbots. However, the absence of human input can often lead to biased results depending on the data, DevRev said.
The company said artists, the second most concerned group, are worried about advancements in AI such as technology that can be used to create book covers, album art and music videos within a short space of time.
