If we're talking about the entire period from 1987 to, basically, today, for the most part it's been automation. Think about robotics; think about the car manufacturing plants, basically technology that follows predetermined prescriptions. Do this in the event of that, right? That's automation.
AI is far more intelligent, if you will, to borrow that term. It's much more human-like. The sense is that this has not really permeated as much in the labour market, especially if you go back to the eighties, which is when the study began.
What's going to happen in the future, we don't know yet. We're always happy to report the trends up until now at Statistics Canada. We'll continue monitoring these things. AI is expected to, according to experts, start becoming more visible in the economy in the years to come. At least, its capability is expected to increase dramatically in the next few years according to a lot of experts who are out there.
