Tufts University / The Brighter Side of News·high signal

Tufts University's Digital Planet lab released the first American AI Jobs Risk Index on March 24, projecting 9.3 million US jobs at risk in 2-5 years ($200B-$1.5T annual household income). Computer Programmers face 55% displacement risk, Web/Digital Interface Designers 55%, Writers 57%. Software Developers face the largest absolute income losses due to high salaries combined with large worker populations. Critically, the regions building AI (Silicon Valley, Boston, Seattle) face the highest displacement risk from the technology they're creating.
