According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), almost 40% of jobs worldwide could be impacted by the rise of artificial intelligence (AI), which is likely to worsen inequality. The IMF chief, Kristalina Georgieva, called for governments to establish social safety nets and retraining programs to counter the effects of AI. The impact of AI is expected to be more deeply felt in advanced economies and among white-collar workers. In more developed economies, up to 60% of jobs could be affected, with approximately half benefiting from increased productivity and the other half facing lower wages and reduced hiring. In emerging markets and lower-income nations, 40% and 26% of jobs, respectively, are expected to be affected. Georgieva warned that the use of AI could increase the risk of social unrest, particularly if younger workers seize the technology to boost their output while older workers struggle to keep up. Despite the potential negative impact, widespread adoption of AI could ultimately increase labor productivity and boost global GDP by 7% annually over a 10-year period. Georgieva emphasized the need to ensure that AI benefits humanity.
