The Guardian is launching an investigation into one of the most profound workplace shifts of our time: employees tasked with training the artificial intelligence systems that could ultimately make their own roles redundant.
The Scale of AI's Impact on Employment
This call for testimony follows a stark analysis from the International Monetary Fund (IMF), which warned that artificial intelligence will affect about 40% of jobs around the world. The implications range from complete automation to significant changes in how work is performed. As this technology integrates deeper into business operations, a unique and often unsettling scenario is emerging: workers becoming the architects of their own potential obsolescence.
