‘Two track labour market’ emerges from AI adoption, report finds

On one end, AI is “professionalising” work by automating away routine tasks and elevating the need for human expertise, judgment, and creativity.

An example of a “professionalised” job is an employment recruiter, according to the report.

“Consider employment recruiters, AI can now automatically screen CVs, leaving recruiters more demanding tasks like negotiating contracts. We call jobs made more expert by AI ‘Professionalised,'” the report read.

The other end of the spectrum sees AI “democratising” jobs, where the technology reduces the skill barriers needed for complex tasks, reducing the need for expertise.

Among these “democratised” roles include inventory clerks, where AI is now performing complex tasks like managing inventory, leaving people with less expert tasks such as moving stock in warehouses.
