The growing trend of artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots, especially ChatGPT, could disrupt the global job market and cause job losses in Africa’s biggest economy, Nigeria, where unemployment rate rose to 33.3 percent in 2020. ChatGPT is a natural language processing tool driven by AI technology that allows one to have human-like conversations and much more with the chatbot. This poses a threat to Nigeria’s job market as the country’s inflation rate has made employers streamline roles in a bid to reduce costs. Most of the jobs that will be affected by the latest wave of AI are the white-collar ones such as interpreters and translators, poets, lyricists, creative writers, public relations specialists, writers, authors, mathematicians, blockchain engineers, accountants, auditors, and journalists.
