WEF: AI Will Create and Displace Millions of Jobs
The World Economic Forum’s (WEF) Future of Jobs Report 2025 forecasts AI to trigger the most significant labour transformation since the industrial revolution.
The report anticipates that by 2030, AI and other information processing technologies will transform 86% of businesses, sparking the creation of 170 million new roles worldwide while making 92 million existing jobs redundant.
The findings derive from a survey encompassing 1,000 companies across 22 industries and 55 economies, which altogether employ more than 14 million people.
These insights reveal an economy in dynamic transition, offering both challenges and opportunities resulting from rapid technological progress.
Rising global interest in AI
Since OpenAI introduced ChatGPT in November 2022, investment in generative AI has soared, approaching nearly eight times the initial figures.
“As we enter 2025, the landscape of work continues to evolve at a rapid pace. Transformational breakthroughs, particularly in Gen AI, are reshaping industries and tasks across all sectors,” says Saadia Zahidi, Managing Director at the WEF.
