In an increasingly digitalized world, artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming a transformative force in the workplace. According to a new comprehensive study conducted by PwC, the AI Job Barometer for 2024, based on the analysis of over 500 million job postings in 15 countries, it is revealed that AI is revolutionizing the labor market.
According to this study, artificial intelligence will cause significant changes in how work tasks are carried out, resulting in increased productivity and new job opportunities across various sectors. AI is expected to generate around 1.1 million jobs by the year 2024.
One of the main conclusions of the report is that artificial intelligence will not only automate certain tasks but also transform entire roles, requiring workers to develop complementary skills to adapt to this new work environment. This means significant changes in the workforce are expected as AI expands.
In the words of Juan P. Aguirre, technology expert at PwC: "Artificial intelligence will not only change the way we work but also which jobs are in highest demand." This underscores the importance for both companies and workers to prepare for this shift and adapt to the new demands of the labor market driven by AI.
In summary, artificial intelligence is proving to be a disruptive force in the job market, creating both challenges and opportunities for workers and companies. The key to maximizing this change will be the ability to adapt and the ongoing update of skills to meet the needs of an increasingly technology-driven work environment.
