A study by AI company Anthropic has found that many jobs by architects and engineers could be done twice as fast using large language models, but claims this has had little impact on jobs so far.
The paper, published last week, details the differences between actual and theoretical task replacement by artificial intelligence (AI) programs based on a metric called “exposure.”
Anthropic’s study is titled “Impact of AI on the Labor Market: A New Measure and Early Findings.” It used Anthropic user data from its Claude Large Language Model (LLM) to plot observed exposure versus theoretical exposure.
Exposure for architecture among the highest
Theoretical exposure measures how many tasks in an industry could be completed twice as quickly by AI.
According to this prediction model, up to 70 percent of the areas of architecture and engineering could be affected. The art, design and media sector also has a…
