As AI-driven automation increasingly takes over jobs, certain countries will be hit harder than others, especially those with large populations.
In the Middle East region, the top three nations that will be hit hardest by artificial intelligence (AI) job automation are Iran, Jordan, and Egypt.
Regarding the Asia region, workers in Bhutan, Pakistan, and India will bear the brunt of increased automation of roles, according to data sourced by bizreport from International Labour Organisation and Willrobotstakemyjob website, according to the “Zawya” website.
This requires these countries to upskill their workforce for new jobs and roles that are changing fast with the arrival of new-age technologies.
The US bank Goldman Sachs has projected that AI would render 300 million workers jobless. While bizreport estimated that 64 % of the worldwide workforce is at risk of AI automation.
