OR artificial intelligence it’s here. 41% of employers plan to reduce their workforce as the artificial intelligence automates certain tasks, his research showed World Economic Forum.

Of the hundreds of large companies surveyed around the world, 77% also said they plan to train workers between 2025-2030 to work better alongside artificial intelligence, according to findings published in the Future of Jobs Report of the WEF.

“Advances in artificial intelligence and renewable energy are reshaping the job market – leading to an increase in demand for many technology or specialist roles, while leading to a decline for others such as graphic designers”the WEF said in a press release ahead of its annual meeting in Davos this month.

Writing in the wide-ranging report, the Saadia Zahidithe forum’s CEO, emphasized her role genetic artificial intelligence in the reshaping of industries and jobs in all sectors. The technology can generate original text, images and other content in response to user prompts.

The postal service employeesthe executive secretaries and the payroll clerks is among the jobs expected to see the fastest decline in numbers in the coming years, whether due to the spread of artificial intelligence or other trends.

“The presence of both graphic designers and legal secretaries in the top 10 fastest-declining jobs, a prediction not seen in previous editions of the Future of Jobs report, may indicate the growing ability of GenAI to performs knowledge tasks the report said.

Instead, AI skills are increasingly in demand. Almost 70% of companies plan to hire new employees with skills in designing AI tools and enhancements and 62% intend to hire more people with skills for better work alongside AIaccording to the latest survey, conducted last year.

The good news, the report said, is that the primary impact of technologies like genetic artificial intelligence on jobs may lie in their ability to ‘augment’ human skills through ‘human-machine collaboration’ and not to replace workers.

However, many workers have already been replaced by AI. In recent years, a number of tech companies, including file storage service Dropbox and language learning app Duolingo, have cited AI as a reason for layoffs.
