AI is not a job killer, it is a gear lever. We are the largest job agency in the world and we can see where things are moving

Optimists believe that AI will create more jobs for a bright future that we can only dream of. Pessimists believe that he will be a killer of employment on an unprecedented scale. However, there is a middle road. The AI will evolve the roles – first those linked to the three CS – Coding, Conversation and Contents – and this will also create more opportunities for people to work on new ways. Certain tasks will become obsolete, news will emerge.
We have been planning labor trends for over 70 years. In 2018, we were already talking about the intersection of human intelligence and machine. Our article “Robots does not need to apply” pleaded for the importance of human skills at a time when automation has evolved quickly.
This emphasis is no less relevant today than seven years ago. The introduction of AI into global workplaces is not as simple as upsetting an entire department and allowing technology to take over. This requires a precise and man -centered approach to analyze tasks and processes to allow people to focus on work that really adds value.
Some organizations have learned that hard when they rebuilt employees they had previously dropped, after recognizing the number of automated tasks which required human intervention and discernment.
Regarding AI, I am an anchored optimist. I believe that rather than eliminating jobs, the AI changes in nature. In fact, until 2025, seven categories of jobs out of 20 – such as IT, finance and customer service – have increased an increase in IA skills required in job offers compared to 2024. And companies in sectors such as finance, advice and automation – which were formerly adopters of late technologies – pave the way.
Unlike other emerging technologies on IT, AI is now woven in almost all parts of our work and our life, evolving in partner, coach, mentor and assistant. However, its true value is always based on human surveillance, judgment and context. As I often say, AI is the cape, but humans are – and will remain – superheroes. Three key adoption information strengthens this point of view and guide what managers should then do.
People are uncertain in their role in a workplace focused on AI
According to our research, more than half of employers around the world use a generative AI, with 47% saying that they currently use AI tools to hire, train and talent on board. Forty-seven percent believe that the most productive workers strengthen their IA skills internally thanks to direct work experience and programs sponsored by employers.
However, individual employees need to see clear paths from the front and many do not. 50% of employees do not consider that technology will improve work for them and 41% fear that their role will be replaced by automation over the next two years. This uncertainty is understandable since 39% of the basic skills of the workforce will be disrupted by 2030, according to the World Economic Forum. However, if AI is deployed in the right way, it will allow organizations to grow, creating more opportunities for humans, no less.
We see it in our own company – our AI agent which is integrated into our recruiter platform, including nearly 15 useful tools to help recruiters rationalize their day and provide more intelligence in the recruitment and awareness process. He creates work descriptions, job advertisements and interview managers to filter the candidates. This saves our recruiters a lot of time who can now create tasks in seconds vs hours, then keep notes, create and update the profiles and recordings of candidates, and discover new opportunities to find and present more candidates to fill more roles, more quickly.
Provide contextual training by the Department, update work descriptions and career path to include UN update and the support of digital literacy via certification and microcredentiality will bring you your real partners in the AI course.
We do not favor talent basins for young people to direct a future shortage based on AI is always a reality. In 2025, 71% of American employers said they had trouble finding the qualified talents they need. Despite this, employers who hire AI roles are short by the higher level and priority talents of higher level and higher level talents capable of giving an immediate commercial impact.
The entry -level professionals have never come with a preponderance of knowledge and wisdom – that is what work is used for – and they are neither better nor worse to demystify and exploit AI than the rest of us. By slowing down our pipeline of future talents to continue the expertise today, we ignore the need for practical planning of succession and employees who can develop their skills over time, because AI evolves in its capacities. We are also likely to contribute to an inequitable society plagued by young people, a direction that most do not want to see.
Technological skills Build IA – Soft Skills operates it
Hiring people to build AI is critical, of course. But the same goes for hiring people with critical thinking, interpersonal and artistic skills that have the capacity to teach our values, assess the ideas of AI in the context of human behavior and to design new ways of thinking and deploying AI for profit and goal.
The AI transforms the way we work day by day, and the level of enthusiasm and experimentation is inspiring. It is now time to keep in mind that human workers are always our most precious asset. Let’s not be taken so much in the “speed need” that we neglect the essential contributions of people. Box: a frame to move forward
Beyond meeting these challenges, organizations may think about the implementation of AI through what we call our 3D framework:
Do – be more effective day by day: it involves rationalizing operations and reducing friction. This may mean that AI does certain tasks that are reproducible, focused on processes and do not require human ingenuity.
Discover – reveals information at speed: AI excels in data -based decision -making and recognition of the models that humans may miss. The integration of AI to analyze and thinking means no less time spent by humans, it simply means more clear and more precise ideas than humans can use to make better decisions.
Dirrurt – co -create a new value: this is where AI and humans generate new possibilities together, not only better processes. Organizations must reflect and speak to their people of work they do to ensure that AI disrupts as much as the DO – it is energizing work and focused on growth that does not create anything that neither humans nor AI could accomplish alone.
