'AI발 일자리 초토화' 한국도 '직격탄'..실직 사태 진짜였다 "이제 초입일 뿐" (자막뉴스) / SBS

AI Summary

The video reports on the significant impact of generative AI on the South Korean job market, particularly since 2023. Data from the Ministry of Employment and Labor's 'Employment 24' platform shows a sharp decline in job postings for roles like office assistants and accounting clerks at small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). An analysis by Park Hong-bae's Democratic Party office revealed that job postings for 34 AI-susceptible occupations decreased by 56.3% in 2023 compared to 2022, while overall job postings on the platform fell by 33.8% in the same period. The IT industry has also been hit hard, with a 42,000-person decrease in IT sector employment in February 2024 year-over-year, and SME IT job postings dropping by about a quarter in 2023. Major IT companies like Microsoft Korea are using AI for HR tasks, and Google Korea's union reported management requests for employees to automate their own work. New graduates are identified as an 'AI vulnerable group,' with a Bank of Korea report from October 2023 indicating a significant reduction in youth employment in AI-exposed sectors.
