International Monetary Fund (IMF) President Georgieva recently warned that artificial intelligence technology will have a profound impact on the global job market, and it is expected that up to 40% of jobs will be significantly impacted by AI. The proportion of jobs affected in developed economies may even be as high as 60%, with both positive and negative impacts coexisting. This prediction attracted global attention and highlighted the opportunities and challenges brought by the development of artificial intelligence.
International Monetary Fund President Georgieva recently warned in a blog post that 40% of global jobs are expected to be significantly affected by artificial intelligence. Among them, 60% of jobs in developed economies may be affected, with half positive and half negative impacts. Georgieva called on policymakers in various countries to address the inequalities brought about by artificial intelligence, establish social safety nets and provide retraining programs. Goldman Sachs and other institutions have previously issued similar warnings.
The IMF's warning has sounded the alarm for governments to respond to the social and economic changes brought about by artificial intelligence. Active policy responses and the construction of social security systems will be key. In the future, how to ensure employment stability and social equity in the AI era will become an important issue facing the world.
