AI companies say, “We’re not coming for your job.”

Artificial intelligence will create 200,000 jobs in Australia by 2030, according to a report supported by Industry Minister Ed Husic.

More than 160,000 of these jobs will be in tech-related fields, while the rest will be in non-tech roles like sales managers, accountants, and human resource managers, who will all play a part in integrating AI.

The report, “Meeting the AI Skills Boom,” found that Australia and New Zealand already have the second-highest uptake of generative AI software globally, with 84 percent of knowledge workers using tools such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Microsoft’s CoPilot, or Google’s Gemini in their jobs.
