AI could replace 70% of tasks in computer-based jobs, study says

A new study by the Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR) indicates that artificial intelligence (AI) could potentially transform or replace up to 70% of tasks in computer-based jobs, particularly in fields such as project management and marketing.
