In the next 36 months nearly 25 to 40 per cent of jobs will be under threat from AI and job losses are inevitable
It promises to get worse before getting better.
On the one hand there is the fear that the speed of Artificial Intelligence adoption will only accelerate job cuts, starting with the information technology sector and then spreading across the board.
The debate is on the timetable for the imminent disruption, where expert opinion varies widely from within 12 months to 36 months.
On the other hand, there is optimism that the technology will lead to huge productivity gains, create a small number of highly paid AI jobs and offer opportunities for the traditional IT industry to get back in the game by transforming their business.
