According to the IMF, artificial intelligence will affect 40 percent of global employment

The IMF has published a report titled "Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Work" regarding the potential impacts of artificial intelligence on global employment.

The report states that artificial intelligence is poised to profoundly transform the global economy, with some commentators comparing it to a new industrial revolution.

Pointing out that it is not easy to predict the impact of artificial intelligence on economies and societies, the report notes that while artificial intelligence promises to increase productivity in the labor market, it may also replace humans in certain jobs.

DEVELOPING ECONOMIES MAY FACE FEWER PROBLEMS

While the report emphasizes that artificial intelligence will affect 40 percent of global employment, it notes that many developing economies may experience fewer problems, but at the same time, they may benefit less from the advantages of artificial intelligence.

The report warns that this situation could further worsen income inequality between countries, and emphasizes that, unlike previous waves of automation that affected middle-level workers, the risks of job displacement created by artificial intelligence also include high-wage workers.

IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva, who also wrote an article on the subject, pointed to the danger that artificial intelligence could pose to the labor market, stating: "In most scenarios, artificial intelligence will likely worsen overall inequality. This is a troubling trend that policymakers must proactively address to prevent the technology from further stoking social tensions."

Emphasizing that it is vital for countries to take comprehensive social measures, Georgieva stated: "In this way, we can make the transition to artificial intelligence more inclusive by protecting livelihoods and reducing inequality."
