As stated by Mustafa Suleyman, head of Microsoft's AI division, within the next 12 to 18 months, most "white-collar" workers - lawyers, accountants, and managers will be replaced by automated neural networks capable of performing their jobs. "I believe we will reach human-level productivity in most, if not all, professional tasks. Thus, office work, where you sit at a computer, whether you are a lawyer, accountant, project manager, or marketer, - most of these tasks will be fully automated by artificial intelligence within the next 12 to 18 months," Suleyman stated. According to him, a large number of programmers are already using neural networks to write code, which will also impact their job loss.
