A new World Economic Forum survey reveals that 41% of employers worldwide expect to reduce their workforce due to AI automation by 2030. According to Matt Novak’s report, the study included 1,000 employers representing over 14 million workers across 22 industries. While employers anticipate staff reductions, they also predict a net job growth, with 170 million new positions created against 92 million jobs displaced. The survey indicates that 77% of employers plan to train existing staff for AI integration. Graphic designers and legal secretaries are among the roles most likely to decline due to AI capabilities. The report emphasizes that both humans and machines are expected to become more productive, with AI and big data skills becoming increasingly important in the workforce.
