The facts

1. The 60% figure is being misrepresented. IMF research estimates that around 60% of jobs in advanced economies are exposed to AI, not that 60% will disappear. Exposure can mean automation, augmentation or productivity gains. The WEF projects 170 million jobs created and 92 million displaced globally by 2030, a net gain of 78 million jobs.113114
