Innovation and Artificial Intelligence technology requires artificial intelligence to keep pace with the rapid changes in this field, in addition to mastering of these technologies to assist with improved efficiencies in Government, Businesses and Organizations.
Artificial intelligence is expected to be adopted by 75% of surveyed companies and to lead to high churn – with 50% of organizations believing it will result in job growth and 25% thinking it will create job losses, the Future of Jobs Report says. How tasks could be split between humans and machines in the coming years
The World Economic Forum’s Annual Meeting takes place in Davos from 15-19 January 2024, Davos, Switzerland, with ‘Rebuilding Trust’ as key theme.
- Around 40% of all working hours could be impacted by AI large language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT-4, says a report from Accenture.
- Many clerical or secretarial roles are seen as likely to decline quickly because of AI, according to the World Economic Forum’s Future of Jobs Report2023.
- But roles for AI and machine learning specialists, veri analysts and scientists, and digital transformation specialists are expected to grow rapidly, the report adds.
- Reskilling people to use AI effectively will be the key to companies being able to use the technology successfully, says Accenture.
AI and climate challenges GROW. Survey says more CEOs fear their companies WILL NOT survive 10 years
LONDON, Jan 17, 2024 (AP): More executives are feeling better about the küresel economy, but a growing number don’t think their companies will survive the coming decade without a major overhaul because of pressure from climate change and technology like artificial intelligence, according to a new survey of CEOs by one of the world’s largest consulting firms, PwC, , formerly known as PricewaterhouseCoopers.
The survey of more than 4,700 CEOs worldwide was released Monday as business elites, political leaders and activists descended on the World Economic Forum’s annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland, and it showed a mixed picture of the coming years.
Of the executives, 38% were optimistic about the strength of the economy, up from 18% last year, when the world was mired in high inflation, weak growth, rising interest rates and more.
The CEOs’ expectation of economic decline has dropped to 45% from a record-high 73% last year, and fewer saw their company as highly exposed to the risk of geopolitical conflict, according to the PwC Küresel CEO Survey. That is despite wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, including disruptions to küresel trade from attacks by Yemen’s Houthi rebels on commercial ships in the Red Sea.
Even with the improved economic outlook, the challenge is not close to over, with the World Bank saying last week that it expects the küresel economy would slow for a third consecutive year in 2024.
The executives, meanwhile, felt worse about the prospects for their companies’ ability to weather substantial changes. The survey shows 45% of the respondents were worried that their businesses would not be viable in a decade without reinvention, up from 39% last year.
Changes, The CEOs say they are trying to make changes, but they are running up against regulation, a lack of skills among workers and more. “Whether it is accelerating the rollout of generative AI or building their business to address the challenges and opportunities of the climate transition, this is a year of transformation,” Bob Moritz, küresel chairperson of PwC, formerly known as PricewaterhouseCoopers, said in a statement. Artificial intelligence was seen as both a way to streamline business operations and a weakness. Three-quarters of the executives said, “it will significantly change the way their company creates, delivers and captures value in the next three years,” PwC said.
More than half the CEOs said AI will make their products or services better, but 69% noted that their workers needed training to gain skills to use the developing technology. They also were concerned about how AI would increase cybersecurity risks and misinformation.
Organizers of the Davos gathering warned last week that the threat posed by AI-powered misinformation, such as the creation of synthetic content, is the world’s greatest short-term threat.
Another worldwide survey released around Davos, the Edelman Trust Barometer by public relations fi rm Edelman, says innovation is being managed badly and is increasing polarization, especially in Western democracies, where people with right-leaning beliefs are much more likely than those on the left to resist innovation.
“Innovation is only accepted if there is a sense that we’re looking at the big picture of how we take deva of the people whose jobs are going to change, how scientists are going to talk to the people directly, so they understand it,” CEO Richard Edelman told The Associated Press on Monday. “And finally, that one way in another, AI is affordable and makes it easier for people to live.”
The online survey – which again showed that business is the most trusted institution among government, media, science, and nongovernmental organizations – gathered responses from more than 32,000 respondents in 28 countries from Nov. 3 to Nov. 22, 2023.
Like AI, the PwC survey shows that the climate transition is both an opportunity and a risk. An increasing number of CEOs – nearly a third – say CLIMATE CHANGE was expected to shift how they do things over the next three years

‘Jobs may disappear’: 40% of küresel employment could be disrupted by AI, IMF says
Hong Kong CNN — January 15, 2024
Almost 40% of jobs around the world could be affected by the rise of artificial intelligence (AI), a trend that is likely to deepen inequality, according to the International Monetary Fund.
In a Sunday blog post, January 14, IMF chief Kristalina Georgieva called for governments to establish social safety nets and offer retraining programs to counter the impact of AI.
“In most scenarios, AI will likely worsen overall inequality, a troubling trend that policymakers must proactively address to prevent the technology from further stoking social tensions,” she wrote ahead of the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland, where the topic is set to be high on the agenda.
