Ars Technica 2 months ago 15
Google Research analyzed 15 million anonymized Gemini interactions and found no evidence that AI is causing widespread automation or displacement of white-collar workers. The data showed AI use remains shallow and collaborative across occupations, with end-to-end task automation limited in scope. Workers are using AI tools to assist with specific tasks rather than automate entire jobs, contradicting industry predictions of imminent mass displacement.
