   2 outlets · first: HCAMag AI research

   Machine summary Occupations are rated according to how well their tasks align with present-day AI abilities, drawing on the automation exposure mapping from Jobs and Skills Australia, while results are compared for periods preceding and following the November 2022 public launch of ChatGPT.

   1. As reported, the paper concludes that AI has thus far barely disrupted Australia's labour market in any material way, though there are "tentative signs" of weaker outcomes in the occupations with the greatest exposure to AI, especially for younger workers.
   2. Major drew on Jobs and Skills Australia's automation exposure mapping, a tool that rates occupations according to how closely the tasks they involve align with present-day AI capabilities. Among the most exposed are software developers, administrative staff and clerical workers.
   3. The paper compares outcomes before and after November 2022, the month ChatGPT was released to the public, and the reports describe the results as mixed, including measures such as job-finding rates.
   4. The RBA is reported to be watching two groups rather than waiting for the unemployment rate to move: occupations most exposed to AI, and young workers and graduates.
