Afraid AI will steal your job? You’re not alone

Concerned AI might take over your job? You’re not the only one

Meanwhile, numerous companies are still questioning whether the quickly advancing technology will significantly alter jobs and skill enhancement at a fundamental level. “Automation has had a lasting impact on human tasks, particularly during the industrial period when machines rapidly substituted the manual labor of humans,” according to IDC.

The influence of AI and genAI varies depending on the profession and sector, with creative and engagement-focused skill sets and tasks being the first to be affected. Market researchers, customer service teams, web developers, professional service units, healthcare positions, and various other roles are already witnessing changes in their work methodologies due to AI.

According to the same IDC data, 29% of business and IT executives anticipate AI and genAI to facilitate quicker decision-making processes for back-office core areas of management such as HR, operations, and finance. In contrast to two years ago, companies are altering their conversations regarding AI enhancement to explore what it can bring to the business and its workforce rather than dwelling on the potentially uncontrollable challenges it might present.
