Almost 40% of jobs worldwide could be affected by the rise of artificial intelligence (AI), a trend that is likely to deepen inequality, according to the International Monetary Fund.

IMF chief Kristalina Georgieva called on governments to provide retraining programs to counter the impact of artificial intelligence. 

"In most scenarios, AI is likely to exacerbate overall inequality, a worrying trend that policymakers must proactively address to prevent the technology from further fueling social tensions," she wrote ahead of the World Economic Forum's annual meeting ( WEF) in Davos, Switzerland.

As AI continues to be adapted by more workers and businesses, it is expected to both help and hurt the human workforce, Georgieva noted. 

Echoing earlier warnings from other experts, Georgieva said the effects were expected to be felt more deeply in advanced economies than emerging markets, in part because "white-collar" workers are seen to be more at risk than white-collar workers. arm.

"In the most developed economies, for example, up to 60% of jobs could be affected by AI. Roughly half of them could benefit from how AI promotes higher productivity," she said. /CNA
