New Delhi, Dec. 27 -- Google DeepMind co-founder Shane Legg has warned about the changes that AI may bring to the workforce. The top AI leader outlined a new 'rule of thumb' to identify if the job you are doing could be easily replicated by an AI or not.

In an interaction with Professor Hannah Fry, Legg laid down the 'Laptop Rule' where he noted that if a job can be performed entirely using a screen, keyboard, camera, speaker, microphone and mouse, it is cognitive and therefore replicable by AI.

"If you can do the job remotely over the internet just using a laptop... then it's probably very much cognitive work," Legg noted. "If you're in that category, I think that advanced AI will be able to operate in that base to some extent."
