US EditionAfrica: AI Threatens One in Four Jobs - but Transformation, Not Replacement, Is the Real Risk
- A joint study by the ILO and Poland's National Research Institute found that one in four jobs worldwide is exposed to generative AI, mainly in high-income countries, as of 2025.
- This exposure arises from advances in generative AI that transform job tasks rather than replace entire roles, with women and clerical workers facing disproportionate change.
- The ILO-NASK index, using nearly 30,000 job descriptions and expert surveys, identifies occupations most vulnerable to AI-driven change, with 34% of jobs in rich countries affected.
- The analysis highlights that partial automation may negatively impact job quality by limiting responsibilities, suppressing wage growth, and increasing job insecurity, emphasizing the importance of inclusive social dialogue to address these challenges.
- The ILO urges governments, employers, and workers’ organizations to ensure AI adoption supports workers through training, infrastructure expansion, and equitable technology access.
