According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), artificial intelligence is poised to impact around 40% of all jobs, potentially exacerbating global inequality. The IMF’s managing director, Kristalina Georgieva, emphasizes the need for policymakers to address this “troubling trend” to avoid AI fueling social tensions.
While AI is expected to enhance productivity in approximately 60% of jobs in advanced economies, it also poses the risk of replacing human-performed tasks, leading to job losses and wage reductions. In contrast, only about 26% of jobs in low-income countries are likely to be affected.
The EU has introduced comprehensive laws for AI usage, China has established national regulations, and the U.S. is compelling developers to share AI safety results.
