An International Monetary Fund (IMF) analysis projects that almost 40% of global jobs will be affected by artificial intelligence (AI), with advanced economies facing higher exposure. IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva warns of AI potentially worsening overall inequality, emphasizing the need for proactive policymaking to prevent social tensions.

Georgieva advocates for comprehensive social safety nets and retraining programs to support vulnerable workers.
