AI is already significantly impacting the job market in several ways. Around 300 million jobs globally, or about 9.1% of all jobs, are at risk of being replaced by AI, with particular vulnerability in sectors like writing, photography, and software development[1][2][4].

By 2025, two million workers in manufacturing could be replaced by automated tools, and by 2030, 14% of the global workforce (around 375 million workers) may need to change careers due to AI[1][4].

In the US, 23.5% of companies have already replaced workers with AI tools like ChatGPT, and in May 2023, AI was responsible for 3,900 job losses, making it the seventh-largest factor in job displacement that month[1][4].

Additionally, 14% of workers report being displaced by automation and robots, and AI is expected to impact 80% of the US workforce, affecting at least 10% of their tasks. Large businesses are more likely to adopt AI, and sectors like telecom are planning significant workforce reductions through AI implementation, such as British Telecom’s plan to replace 10,000 employees with AI over seven years[1][2][4].
