El think-tank Citi GPS: Global Perspectives & Solutions, parte del banco internacional City, ha publicado un nuevo informe referido al impacto de la tecnología sobre los mercados laborales. Si bien está dirigido principalmente a sus clientes de los EEUU, los hechos descritos y las conclusiones presentadas nos deberían llevar a pensar en cómo se aplican en nuestro país. El informe busca analizar qué se puede hacer para evitar la pérdida de empleos y recomienda a los responsables de la formulación de políticas en las economías avanzadas debería centrarse en apoyar la ciencia y la educación. La tecnología remota impulsa la colaboración a distancia, lo que está dando lugar a una mayor innovación y ciencia innovadora. Esto, a su vez, puede conducir a la creación de nuevos empleos.
Trying to predict future trends and identify new technologies that will truly be disruptive can be both challenging and rewarding. It can also be incredibly humbling. Getting the trend right is only half the battle. The “you don’t know what you don’t know” is where things can get a little upside down.
Our very first Technology at Work Citi GPS report was based on a seminal report from Carl Benedikt Frey and Michael Osbourne that predicted 47% of U.S. jobs were susceptible to automation over the coming decades. The rationale was that non-routine manual tasks were increasingly able to be automated, and for the first time, low-skill and low-income jobs were at risk of automation. Lower automation risk was attributed to jobs that were intensive in social and creative skills. We did also note that a growing share of office and administration support jobs would soon be subject to automation as advances in big data continued.
