IBM CEO warns of imminent job loss due to AI advancements.
TL;DR Summary
IBM CEO Arvind Krishna warns that AI could replace many clerical white-collar jobs within the next five years, and anticipates AI replacing 30% of IBM's non-consumer-facing jobs over the same period. However, Krishna notes that while AI will cut jobs, there is still a need for human employees for more complex work. The deal between IBM and SAP to embed IBM's Watson into SAP's business solutions raises questions about jobs, but SAP CEO Christian Klein believes that AI can re-skill the workforce rather than just cut jobs.
