A MIT study estimates that 11.7% of current jobs could be automated with existing AI technologies.

Concerns about the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on jobs are no longer theoretical. As the adoption of AI increases, companies are no longer asking whether AI fits their operations, but how it will replace or transform human work. Investors like Eric Bahn and Marell Evans predict that budgets for AI will affect employment, and the workforce will become an adjustable variable. By 2026, AI is expected to transition from productivity tools to actual automation of work. While some believe that AI will improve efficiency, others emphasize that it could become an excuse for layoffs. The challenge for companies will be to determine where AI adds value and how to manage the transition responsibly.
