Anticipating Disruption in the Workforce

Generative AI is set to significantly disrupt a wide array of jobs, with estimates suggesting that over 30% of workers could see more than half of their tasks impacted. Unlike previous automation waves that primarily affected blue-collar jobs, this new wave threatens cognitive and non-routine tasks, including roles in STEM, finance, business, and law.
