Microsoft is offering voluntary exit packages to about 60,000 employees, while Bill Gates has named four fields he thinks will retain a human role as AI advances. Business Insider reported that a leaked blog post says eligible staff in participating teams in the US, UK, Canada and India can apply. Gates identified coding, biology, energy work and professional athletics, saying people will still want to watch humans play sports like baseball. The article cites an IMF and ILO estimate that 40% to 60% of jobs in advanced economies have high exposure to AI integration.

00:25Microsoft's list of jobs most exposed to AI measures, tasks the technology can handle.
00:30Translators, historians, and proofreaders are among the roles near the top.
00:34But that ranking reflects AI's ability to perform challenging tasks within those occupations.
00:40It doesn't show that AI can do those entire jobs on its own.
00:43So being exposed to AI doesn't necessarily mean your whole job will disappear.
00:48Disclosure, this video contains stock footage and content created or enhanced using AI-assisted tools.
