Artificial intelligence continues to improve every day, expanding its functionality. This increases the fear of many professionals who think that they will be replaced.

When generative AI was revealed to the general public in 2022, it arrived with a certain limitation in its performance. In less than 3 years today, these limits were leapfrogged and its powers were expanded. If from the first day he instilled fear of replacement to many professionals, is that these fears still remain today, being confirmed and even materialized. Several have already been replaced and the massive layoffs have not yet ended. Nevertheless, things won't be this way foreveraccording to a report from the World Economic Forum (WEF).

AI will create more jobs than it will replace

If there is one thing that everyone agrees on today, it is that AI will actually replace many professionals. This is undeniable, particularly because of the ability of this technology to perform better in repetitive tasks and those that can be automated. Replacements have already begun and we should see more before the end of this decade. According to the WEF report, nearly 92 million jobs will be replaced by 2030. For the IMF, these are almost 60% of current jobs that AI will impact.

In the report, specialists mainly predict the worst for office workersincluding secretaries. At the same time, several others will experience meteoric growth. This is the case for professions linked to cybersecurity, AI, networks, big data, etc.

But if we are certain of the elimination of certain positions and the automation of others, the WEF also suggests that nearly 170 million new jobs will be created with the revolution of AI. He predicts the same scenarios like digital technology which has eliminated jobs, but generated millions of others.
