MIT study estimates AI could already replace 11.7% of US workforce

Summary

A new study from MIT, reported by Asia Television News, uses an "Iceberg Index" labour simulation model to estimate that current AI systems could technically replace about 11.7% of US workers, representing US$1.2 trillion in wages. The research suggests disruption will reach far beyond tech roles to areas like HR, finance and logistics across all 50 states, and is being used by several US states to test policy responses before large-scale reskilling and infrastructure investments are made.
