Generative AI is the future, with research firm, Forrester claiming in its forecast how much the technology would take over in the future, with as much as 2.4 million jobs in the US seeing the switch. The firm claimed that this number would be reflected by 2030, showing how much impact present developments will do to the future of the US workforce with AI at the helm.
While this is something expected of the future already, this change is not all about replacing humans from their jobs, as it is expected to reshape the future.

Forrester released a forecast report about generative AI in the future, with its numbers claiming that as much as 2.4 million US jobs would be seeing its impact by 2030. The report centers on how much it will impact in the future, but not necessarily eliminate or take from humans to be centered on the machine independently.
It claimed that generative AI is already experiencing "hyperadoption" in the present, with the technology being the fastest to routinely engage billions of users. Forrester also regarded that ChatGPT is leading the charge in AI usage now.
While the report centered on generative AI's takeover of 2.4 million jobs in the US by 2030, it is not necessarily ousting humans of their positions, but having these people use the AI to create outputs or content. Still, AI is set to take as much as 30 percent of the job roles towards the end of the decade.

Forrester Suggests Prompt Engineering
Forrester suggested that what employers or individuals may do is to train the workforce in learning the ins and outs of prompt engineering, and this is the new phenomenon that involves humans working with AI in the present.
Prompt engineering is centered on creating the right prompts for AI to follow, and in turn, would decide the quality of a user's output based on what the generative AI received.
Generative AI Integrations
Different industries and companies have already gone large on using artificial intelligence for their technology, particularly with generative AI whose massive presence is known in the world. One renowned media outlet, Fox Sports, has confirmed that it is looking to incorporate generative AI into its content creation, mainly for archived games that it owns via a Google partnership.
However, the tech world also saw massive complaints regarding this from the controversial SAF-AFTRA strike in Hollywood, particularly as there were plans to use generative AI to create content for future productions. This included screenplay and scriptwriters, actors, and other creatives part of the process that would allegedly have "AI replicas."
The different industries that are facing generative AI developments have mixed perceptions about their company's application of the technology, with some embracing it, and others denouncing the tech. In Forrester's forecast, generative AI is inevitable in making its way to 2.4 million jobs in the United States, but in their findings, it is more about reshaping jobs.
