According to the IMF, 60 percent of Advanced Economy jobs will be impacted by AI. According to the IMF report, half of those impacts will be of the positive variety allowing for greater productivity.

The other issue is that AI may increase the digital divide across economies. Between simple access to the technology and the cost of that access, many may not have the access to AI required to impact their position positively.

The IMF report notes that half of the jobs impacted by AI will be negatively affected, while the rest may actually benefit from enhanced productivity gains due to AI.
