We had previously covered 26 Surprising Facts About Google, and now it is time to highlight the most interesting tidbits concerning one of its largest competitors in the tech arena.

Apple, which is currently setting records for market capitalization, is known for being quite a stickler for design and simplicity. This was mainly influenced by the late Steve Jobs, but has also permeated into the company’s culture as a result.

Eccentricity and size makes for some interesting facts about Apple. Here are some of our favourites:

  • Apple’s iPad retina display is actually manufactured by Samsung
  • Samsung also makes 30% of the A8 chips that go in the iPhone 6
  • Apple is worth more than the entire Russian stock market
  • Apple sold 326 iPhones every minute in 2014

Large language models (LLMs) and other generative AI tools haven’t been around for very long, but they’re expected to have far-reaching impacts on the way people do their jobs. With this in mind, researchers have already begun studying the potential impacts of this transformative technology.

In this graphic, we’ve visualized the results of a World Economic Forum report, which estimated how different job departments will be exposed to AI disruption.

Data and Methodology

To identify the job departments most impacted by AI, researchers assessed over 19,000 occupational tasks (e.g. reading documents) to determine if they relied on language. If a task was deemed language-based, it was then determined how much human involvement was needed to complete that task.

With this analysis, researchers were then able to estimate how AI would impact different occupational groups.

Supply Chain431839

In our graphic, large impact refers to tasks that will be fully automated or significantly altered by AI technologies. Small impact refers to tasks that have a lesser potential for disruption.

Where AI will make the biggest impact

Jobs in information technology (IT) and finance have the highest share of tasks expected to be largely impacted by AI.

Within IT, tasks that are expected to be automated include software quality assurance and customer support. On the finance side, researchers believe that AI could be significantly useful for bookkeeping, accounting, and auditing.
