Follow, forward, like, take you to understand the latest digital product information! In the next three years, 80% of jobs could be disrupted by AI! Executives are more worried, but employees are less worried
According to the latest "2024 Global Talent Trends in Asia" report released by Mercer, a global human resource management consulting firm, generative AI technology will significantly transform 80% of jobs in the next three years. This is really surprising and delightful news.
After surveying 3,600 executives, HR managers and employees, the report found that as many as 56% of executives believe AI will create new jobs for their organizations. Unfortunately, 44% of executives are not optimistic.
It seems that not everyone is as confident as those optimists about the future of AI technology. However, for some bold and careful bosses, this attitude is understandable. After all, if some "out-of-control" AI is accidentally introduced, the whole company will naturally be "unemployed".
It is worth mentioning that, in contrast, the average employee is much less worried about AI-induced job losses. From 53% in 2022, it has dropped to only 10% today. It seems that these "subordinates" are more open than those "bosses".
But then again, 21% of employees are worried that AI will increase the pressure and difficulty of their work. While this is a little less of a concern than job losses, it far outweighs the concerns of executives. It seems that AI is more of a "double-edged sword" for ordinary employees.
Overall, the biggest highlight of the report is that it highlights the importance of AI skills. The demand for AI-related skills has surged 21-fold in the past six months, reflecting not only the market's thirst for professionals in this field, but also the huge gap between the education system and the real needs.
Therefore, it is estimated that for some students who want to find a place in this "AI wave", they may have to hurry up to improve this skill in the future. Otherwise, when you graduate, even if you study a popular major, you will inevitably be replaced by AI.
But for business owners, the report is a heavy warning. A whopping 54% of executives believe that if they don't adopt AI technology at scale soon, they may not be able to survive in the market after 2030.
So the most urgent thing for these companies right now is to redesign their workflows, while also working to rebuild employee trust and alleviate burnout and financial stress. Only in this way can we truly be fully prepared for the future era of AI.
Of course, for some small companies or startups, these may only be theoretical troubles. After all, it is a bit overwhelming to complete all these reforms in a short period of time. Fortunately, the report also provides some solutions, such as the establishment of a skills taxonomy, the development of a competency framework and a skills-based incentive scheme.
In short, whether you are an executive or an ordinary employee, you must be fully mentally prepared in the face of the unstoppable "torrent" of AI. After all, it's not just about your job, it may even determine your future survival. Therefore, learning AI-related skills as soon as possible may be the most reliable choice.
