"IMF Warns: AI Set to Disrupt 40% of Global Jobs, Worsen Inequality"

The IMF warns that generative artificial intelligence (Gen-AI) could impact 40% of jobs worldwide, with 60% of jobs in advanced economies like the US at risk. The organization urges countries to implement policies to ensure responsible adoption of AI, as it could exacerbate inequality and deepen social unrest. The report raises concerns about AI's potential to widen inequalities within and among nations, emphasizing the need for comprehensive social safety nets, retraining programs, and regulatory frameworks to mitigate the negative impacts of AI on the global workforce.
