Working Paper 96(Geneva,ILO).https:/doi.org/10.54394/FHEM823901 ILO Working Paper 96AbstractThis study presents a global analysis of the potential exposure of occupations and tasks to Generative AI,and specifically to Generative Pre-Trained Transformers(GPTs),and the possible implications of such exposure for job quantity and quality.It uses the GPT-4 model to estimate task-level scores of potential exposure and then estimates potential employment effects at the global level as well as by country income group.Despite representing an upper-bound estimate of exposure,we find that only the broad occupation of clerical work is highly exposed to the tech-nology with 24 per cent of clerical tasks considered highly exposed and an additional 58 percent with medium-level exposure.For the other occupational groups,the greatest share of highly ex-posed tasks oscillates between 1 and 4 per cent,and medium exposed tasks do not exceed 25 per cent.As a result,the most important impact of the technology is likely to be of augmenting work automating some tasks within an occupation while leaving time for other duties as op-posed to fully automating occupations.The potential employment effects,whether augmenting or automating,vary widely across coun-try income groups,due to different occupational structures.In low-income countries,only 0.4 per cent of total employment is potentially exposed to automation effects,whereas in high-income countries the share rises to 5.5 percent.The effects are highly gendered,with more than double the share of women potentially affected by automation.The greater impact is from augmenta-tion,which has the potential to affect 10.4 percent of employment in low-income countries and 13.4 percent of employment in high-income countries.However,such effects do not consider infrastructure constraints,which will impede the possibility for use in lower-income countries and likely increase the productivity gap.We stress that the primary value of this analysis is not the precise estimates,but rather the in-sights that the overall distribution of such scores provides about the nature of possible changes.Such insights can encourage governments and social partners to proactively design policies that support orderly,fair,and consultative transitions,rather than dealing with change in a reactive manner.Moreover,the likely ramifications on job quality might be of greater consequence than the quantitative impacts,both with respect to the new jobs created because of the technology,but also the potential effects on work intensity and autonomy when the technology is integrat-ed into the workplace.For this reason,we also emphasize the need for social dialogue and reg-ulation to support quality employment.About the

XIntroductionEach new wave of technological progress intensifies debates on automation and jobs.Current debates on Artificial Intelligence(AI)and jobs recall those of the early 1900s with the introduc-tion of the moving assembly line,or even those of the 1950s and 1960s,which followed the intro-duction of the early mainframe computers.While there have been some nods to the alienation that technology can bring by standardizing and controlling work processes,in most cases,the debates have centred on two opposing viewpoints:the optimists,who view new technology as the means to relieve workers from the most arduous tasks,and the pessimists,who raise alarm about the imminent threat to jobs and the risk of mass unemployment.What has changed in debates on technology and workers,however,is the types of workers af-fected.While the advances in technology in the early,mid and even late-1900s were primarily focused on manual workers,technological development since the 2010s,in particular the rapid progress of Machine Learning(ML),has centred on the ability of computers to perform non-rou-tine,cognitive tasks,and by consequence potentially affect white-collar or knowledge workers.In addition,these technological advancements have occurred in the context of much strong-er interconnectedness of economies across the globe,leading to a potentially larger exposure than location-based,factory-level applications.Yet despite these developments,to an average worker,even in the most highly developed countries,the potential implications of AI have,until recently,remained largely abstract.The launch of ChatGPT marked an important advance in the publics exposure to AI tools.In this new wave of technological transformation,machine learning models have started to leave the labs and begin interacting with the public,demonstrating their strengths and weaknesses in daily use.The chat function dramatically shortened the distance between AI and the end user,simultaneously providing a platform for a wide range of custom-made applications and inno-vations.Given these significant advancements,it is not surprising that concerns over potential job loss have resurged.While it is impossible to predict how generative AI will further develop,the current capabilities and future potential of this technology are central to discussions of its impact on jobs.Sceptics tend to believe that these machines are nothing more than“stochastic parrots”powerful text summarizers,incapable of“learning”and producing original content,with little future for gen-eral purpose use and unsustainable computing costs(Bender et al.2021).On the other hand,more recent technical literature focused on testing the limits of the latest models suggests an increasing capability to carry out“novel and difficult tasks that span mathematics,coding,vision,medicine,law,psychology and more”,and a general ability to produce responses exhibiting some forms of early“reasoning”(Bubeck et al.2023).Some assessments go as far as suggesting that machine learning models,especially those based on large neural networks used by Generative Pre-trained Transformers(GPT,see Text Box 1),might have the potential to eventually become a general-purpose technology(Goldfarb,Taska,and Teodoridis 2023;Eloundou et al.2023).1 This would have multiplier effects on the economy and labour markets,as new products and servic-es would likely spring from this technological platform.As social scientists,we are not in position to take sides in these technical debates.Instead,we foc
