According to Gartner’s forecasts, artificial intelligence will result in a net increase of 1.7 million jobs globally by 2030.
Experts predict that by the decade’s conclusion, AI will generate 10.6 million new roles, even as it causes the loss of 8.9 million jobs.
“Organizations that have made the most progress in AI adoption see it not as a substitute for their employees, but as a driver for reshaping operations and rebalancing human and technological skills to stay competitive in changing markets,” said Helen Poitevin, a senior analyst at Gartner, during the Gartner IT Symposium/Xpo in Barcelona.
In 2026, a major effect of AI on the labor market was companies choosing to postpone the creation of 1.3 million jobs. Additionally, in the last year, 2.2 million jobs were eliminated, whereas 1.6 million were generated.
Gartner expects that by 2030, approximately 0.4% to 1.8% of the global workforce will be displaced from their jobs because of AI. At the same time, just over 20% of workers will have to adjust to new methods of working.
