San Francisco – that US start-up artisan Fueled the debate about job destruction with his AVA agent “AVA” in the form of a virtual sales employee. Because the AI ​​tools can identify potential customers, contact them, write emails and make appointments. According to the developer, AVA costs 96 percent less than a person who performs the same tasks.
Enormous profit potential
The straight-line approach of the start-up stands in a strong contrast to most companies for generative AI, which carefully weigh up whether chatt-like technologies will make human labor superfluous. “I don’t think it is basically about replacing employees, but better for things that can only do people,” says Josh Consine from the venture capital company Signal.
But in the end, jobs are likely to be lost. Experts at New York’s investment bank Goldman Sachs estimate that AI could destroy 300 million jobs worldwide. The US company consultant Metrigy reports on the basis of a survey from 2023 that 89 percent of companies have reduced customer relationships due to generative AI.
Creation and destruction
On the other hand, 70 percent of the Global economic forum Sermons surveyed to want to hire employees with AI-related skills in the coming years. “It’s a natural development,” says Joe Murphy von D-IDwhich offers video avatars and recently a partnership with Microsoft has been received. “As by the invention of the car, workplaces are created and destroyed on the other.”
Data of the US Ministry of Labor Take this theory: The number of jobs for secretary and administrative assistants fell from 4.1 million to 3.4 million between 1992 and 2023. In the same period, however, the number of computer scientists has more than doubled from around 500,000 to 1.2 million.
