Generative AI’s Impact on Employment
A recent report from the International Labour Organization (ILO) and Poland’s National Research Institute (NASK) highlights a startling statistic: 25% of jobs worldwide are at risk due to generative artificial intelligence (GenAI). This technology threatens various roles, particularly in clerical and highly digital sectors, which are deemed the most vulnerable. The report titled “Generative AI and Jobs: A Refined Global Index of Occupational Exposure” sheds light on the potential disruptions to the labor market.
The findings indicate that as generative AI continues to advance, many traditional job roles may become obsolete. Employers and employees alike need to adapt to this evolving landscape. Understanding the capabilities of GenAI can help mitigate job losses and foster new opportunities. Companies should invest in upskilling their workforce to prepare for this technological shift. The future of work may look different, but proactive measures can ensure that people remain valuable in the job market.
