The aim of the scenario-based analysis on AI’s impacts on industries is to estimate changes in employment and their added values across industries, based on the four hypothesized patterns of changes in productivity
caused by advances in AI and robotics technology. According to a forecast on the rate of increase in added value by industry induced by the adoption of AI technologies, the finance and insurance industries showed the highest rate of increase in added value, with the construction industry with the lowest. Furthermore, the science and technology industries showed the highest rate of increase in employment, while the finance and insurance industries showed the lowest. These findings indicate that changes caused by advances in AI technology will not be the same in all industries. In other words, underestimating and interpreting changes simply as “humans being replaced by or cooperating with machines” can hinder our efforts to respond and find solutions to change.
