- AI may be beneficial for paralegals and other white-collar jobs, but it may affect the demand for these workers.

Computer programmers and financial workers are just two kinds of white-collar jobs that may have to worry about artificial intelligence and chatbots like OpenAI's ChatGPT.
"Chatbots have been around for a long time, but there really seems to be a major change here in how good they are," Vincent Conitzer, a professor of computer science at Carnegie Mellon University, previously told Insider.
