Report Reveals 25 Percent of Jobs Globally at Risk from Generative AI
(MENAFN) A joint report from the International Labour Organization (ILO) and Poland's National Research Institute (NASK), released on Tuesday, revealed that 25% of jobs globally are at risk from generative artificial intelligence (GenAI), with clerical and digital-intensive roles facing the highest threat.
The study, titled "Generative AI and Jobs: A Refined Global Index of Occupational Exposure," offers what researchers describe as the most comprehensive global analysis yet of GenAI's potential impact on labor markets.
However, the findings suggest that job transformation, rather than widespread job loss, is the more probable result of AI’s integration into workplaces.
"We went beyond theory to build a tool grounded in real-world jobs," stated Pawel Gmyrek, ILO senior researcher and lead author. "By combining human insight, expert review, and generative AI models, we’ve created a replicable method that helps countries assess risk and respond with precision."
Greater Exposure in Wealthier Nations
While the global exposure rate to GenAI is 25%, the risk rises to 34% in high-income countries due to their higher level of digital integration.
Clerical jobs are most vulnerable, as GenAI could automate a variety of administrative and data-entry tasks. Other high-risk occupations include media, software development, and finance-related cognitive jobs.
The report also presents an "occupational exposure index," based on an analysis of nearly 30,000 job tasks, validated by expert input, AI scoring, and ILO employment data. This index offers a more nuanced view of how GenAI might affect different sectors and countries.
