RT reported that the World Economic Forum (WEF) said that the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in many fields could bring about many changes in human resources and employment in the global labor market in the future.
According to the WEF report, about 77% of surveyed companies said they have been training and improving their employees' skills in coordinating with machines to improve work performance in the period from 2025 to 2030.
Meanwhile, 41% of businesses plan to reduce their workforce by 2030 as AI capabilities grow.
The report found that 92 million jobs will be displaced by AI, but the technology is predicted to create more than 170 million new jobs by 2030.
WEF stressed that the demand for big data, cybersecurity and AI skills will increase dramatically in the future.
Advances in AI, robotics and energy systems, particularly in renewable energy and environmental engineering, are expected to drive demand for specialist roles in these areas, according to the WEF.
The report also identified occupations that will see the largest declines due to AI and other technology trends, including service workers, executive secretaries, payroll clerks and graphic designers.
WEF's head of Jobs, Wages and Employment, Till Leopold, noted that technological trends such as generative AI can open up a range of unprecedented job opportunities but also bring many risks.
However, WEF still emphasized that AI is not only intended to replace humans but also has the potential to support improving human performance, while affirming that human-centered skills such as creative thinking, resilience, flexibility and agility will still play an important role.
