The rapid development of generative artificial intelligence is profoundly changing the American work environment and economic landscape. A new study predicts that up to 90% of U.S. jobs will be affected by generative AI, half of which will see significant changes, and about 9% of workers may be at risk of losing their jobs. This is not limited to simple manual labor and routine knowledge work, but even higher-level knowledge work is not immune. Faced with this challenge, enterprises and governments need to actively respond and take effective measures to help the workforce adapt to the new technological environment.
One study suggests that generative AI will impact 90% of jobs in the United States, with significant changes in workforce and economic dynamics. Half of all jobs are expected to see significant changes, with approximately 9% of workers likely to be affected. With the widespread application of generative AI, not only manual and routine knowledge work, but also higher-level knowledge work will be affected. Emphasizing the importance of strategic reskilling, Cognizant launches Synapse, a program designed to redefine technical education and workforce development.
The impact of generative AI on the labor market is huge, requiring companies and individuals to actively respond. Strategic reskilling and upskilling is critical to help workers adapt to new job demands and be better equipped to handle future challenges. Cognizant's Synapse program provides a useful exploration direction to address this challenge.
