Wildly misreported headline

>The Index measures where AI systems overlap with the skills used in each occupation. A score reflects the share of wage value linked to skills where current AI systems show technical capability. For example, a score of 12% means AI overlaps with skills representing 12% of that occupation’s wage value, not 12% of jobs. This reflects skill overlap, not job displacement.

>The Index reports technical skill overlap with AI. It does not estimate job loss, workforce reductions, adoption timelines or net employment effects.

Trying to keep the bubble alive

Didn't MIT also publish a similar report saying most AI implementations don't add any value, or something similar?

So? That is nothing compared to tractors, steam engines, automated looms.

Title is wildliy misleading, check.

Its been apparent for a while now that the only yaysayers left either are CEOs or just havent tried the tech yet.
