La IA, como todos los avances, va a transformar la forma en que trabajamos, por lo que lo que tenemos que hacer es adaptarnos, porque la adaptación es fundamental para el desarrollo. Saving Changes...

Abhishek, I believe that AI will both cut and create jobs. While it's true that AI can automate many routine tasks, leading to a reduction in certain operational roles, it will also create a demand for new, specialized positions. As AI becomes more integrated into our operations, we'll need individuals with the skills to develop, implement, and maintain these systems. So, while some jobs may be displaced, I'm optimistic that the overall impact will be positive, leading to the creation of new and exciting career opportunities. Saving Changes...
Every significant technology advancement has resulted in creation and elimination of jobs. A difference with AI is the level at which those eliminations occur - whereas with past advancements those affected were usually front line staff or manual workers, now it is more highly skilled ones who will be affected.

Abhishek, to add to Kiron's feedback, this is also very heavily dependent on the industry you operate within! Saving Changes...

AI-tooling will transform roles and responsibilities, redefining positions at a pace far exceeding what we have seen in the Internet age. It will catalyze change, whether “technology warranted” or not.
Meaning the narratives around AI, for example, Gartner’s prediction that 80% of project management jobs will be done by artificial intelligence by the year 2030, will become a license or excuse to kick higher percentages of project managers to the curb when internal financial pressures force reductions.
Although sounding a little dismal, there will be new career opportunities and likely a boom in projects, but efficiencies will still drive the day, and efficiencies equate to fewer headcounts needed to perform given functions, and PMs are not immune. Saving Changes...
I agree that there will be shifts both ways depending on the industry and other factors like socioeconomic conditions.
I also see that a lot of the future projections are biased towards the goals of those speculating on the future. I noticed that PMI cited one estimate that 50% of jobs worldwide would be heavily impacted by AI within 5 years. I find that highly suspect when a) The company cited is a publicly traded AI company with a vested interest in making their business potential look good to investors, but more importantly b) 44% of all jobs worldwide are unskilled labor and while automation might affect farming in highly developed countries, the cost/benefit is not the same in much poorer countries.
Be careful of who's projections you trust, because a lot of them are marketing. Saving Changes...
While AI automation can lead to job losses in routine tasks, it also opens doors to new roles requiring specialized skills. Moreover, AI can dramatically improve productivity, as evidenced by the ability to write emails in a fraction of the time compared to traditional methods. However, the challenge lies in ensuring that individuals have the opportunity and support to develop the skills needed to thrive in this evolving job market. Investing in education, training, and reskilling programs will be crucial for mitigating the negative impacts of AI and maximizing its benefits. Saving Changes...
