Out of hundreds of large companies surveyed around the world, 77% also said they were planning to reskill and upskill their existing workers between 2025-2030 to better work alongside AI, according to findings published in the WEF’s Future of Jobs Report. But, unlike the previous, 2023 edition, this year’s report did not say that most technologies, including AI, were expected to be “a net positive” for job numbers.

Postal service clerks, executive secretaries and payroll clerks are among jobs that employers expect to experience the fastest decline in numbers in coming years, whether due to the spread of AI or other trends.

“The presence of both graphic designers and legal secretaries just outside the top 10 fastest-declining job roles, a first-time prediction not seen in previous editions of the Future of Jobs Report, may illustrate GenAI’s increasing capacity to perform knowledge work,” the report said.

THIS IS SHIT but REAL unfortunately !
My friend who was in a FAANG company, got laid off last year. Even though he was in core team, a lot of AI usage in his particular work, made him and other 10 people redundant !

I will just leave it here -
Out of all the most searched engineering terms, computer engineers are in high risk zone. Crazy that those who created it are getting replaced first. My mechanical friends seems to be most happiest since college placements. I guess more business applications will be on law field as well which is pretty hard to access at finger tips at the moment by everyone.
