The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) recently announced that 27 per cent of jobs in major countries rely on advanced skills, that could be easily automated amid the Artificial Intelligence (AI) revolution. As AI implementation and adoption progress, new regulations will be necessary at the institutional and national levels to ensure safety, prevent misuse and protect jobs when necessary. “We must recognise that these technologies are here to stay, and AI will play a significant role,” argues Shaukat Ali Khan, Global Chief Information Officer at Aga Khan University. They can make profound changes in resource-constrained contexts. While many tasks may be automated by emerging technologies, not all tasks will be replaced. Professionals who engage with and leverage these emerging technologies will hold the most value in the years to come. Instead of worrying about job security, it is better to allocate time to understand and leverage these technologies.
