The Future of Jobs in the Age of AI: What You Need to Know
Forrester’s latest forecast reveals that automation and AI will only lead to a 6% job loss in the US by 2030, equating to 10.4 million roles. Rather than replacing jobs, AI will primarily augment around 20% of positions in the next five years.
Key Insights:
- Over-automation can damage companies’ reputations and weaken employee morale.
- AI-driven layoffs are often confused with financial cuts, indicating a trend towards “AI washing.”
- Disproportionate impacts on specific roles, especially junior positions and customer service.
What This Means for Businesses:
- Investing in employee training and upskilling is critical.
- Organizations should view AI as a tool to enhance human skills, not replace them.
- Leaders must prioritize governance and ethical use of AI.
As J. P. Gownder states, how we navigate AI today will shape our future.
