IMF chief warns of AI “tsunami” facing six in 10 jobs


IMF chief Dr Kristalina Georgieva has warned of an artificial intelligence AI tsunami which could impact the international labor market.

In recent years, the massive all-encompassing impact of the pandemic provided a great example of how industry can deal with severe disruption and emerge from the other side. The 2023 Annual Work Trend Index polled 31,000 respondents from 31 countries and despite the lingering fear, 75% of workers now use AI in the workplace, with a feeling that the technology is a great tool at times of stress and high intensity to allow them to concentrate on the imperative tasks. These examples correlate with the warning from IMF chief Georgieva, showing that the evolution of the workplace can be harnessed, but there are still significant risks posed by AI.
