Artificial intelligence can affect 40 % of global jobs

The United Nations predicts that the value of the artificial intelligence market will reach $ 4 trillion and $ 5 billion by 2033, which is approximately the size of the German economy: The agency has raised concerns: Artificial Intelligence can affect 40 % of jobs around the world and worsen inequality between countries.

According to the United Nations Trade and Development Agency (UNCTAD), the market value of artificial intelligence is expected to reach $ 4 trillion and $ 2 billion by 2033. Of course, advanced artificial intelligence will not be pervasive in all countries; That is, the economic achievements of this technology are focused in some countries. The agency has also raised concerns about automation and job shifts, and warned that artificial intelligence could affect 40 % of jobs worldwide.

The impact of artificial intelligence on jobs

According to the United Nations, artificial intelligence -based tools transform the economy and create many opportunities, but they also pursue more inequality among countries. The report shows that 100 companies, mainly in the United States and China, account for 40 % of artificial intelligence research costs.

In addition, the United Nations points out that leading American technology giants who benefit from the boom in artificial intelligence, such as Apple, Nvidia and Microsoft, are now worth a market that competes with the GDP of the entire African continent. The dominance of artificial intelligence over national and corporate levels increases technology gaps and puts many countries at risk of being lagging. The report says 118 countries are absent on the issue of artificial intelligence.

In its report, UNCTAD has made recommendations to the international community to reduce inequality and develop artificial intelligence: the general publication of artificial intelligence technologies, the construction of joint artificial intelligence infrastructure, the use of open source artificial intelligence models, and the initiative to share knowledge and resources of artificial intelligence.
