AI Is Reshaping Roles, But This May Not Be Forever
Amitrano, in an op-ed for The Times, said that AI is definitely reshaping roles, with the development of new tools and the investment in skills “offsetting more serious disruptions” to the market, but this disruption may not last forever.
“Our research shows that job postings for AI-exposed occupations are growing at a slower pace compared to those with lower exposure – and this gap is widening.” – Marco Amitrano, head of PwC’s UK practice.
However, Amitrano is optimistic about the future of AI. He wrote, “Most technologies, if not all, have boosted both productivity and wages. Indeed, the integration of AI with other technologies, products and services has the potential to create whole new industries. But potential doesn’t convert to progress on its own; it requires sustained and serious investment in tech, infrastructure and training — underpinned by progressive public policy.”
