The report “Gen-AI: Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Work,” published by the International Monetary Fund, explores the profound impact that generative AI is expected to have on global labor markets. It highlights that approximately 40% of global employment is exposed to AI, with advanced economies being more at risk but also better prepared to benefit from AI innovations. The report discusses potential increases in income and wealth inequality due to AI, as well as the need for countries to invest in AI preparedness, including digital infrastructure, regulation, and labor market policies, to maximize benefits and mitigate risks.
