AI and automation to reshape global job market by 2030

The global labor market is undergoing a significant transformation driven by artificial intelligence, automation, and robotics. According to the World Economic Forum’s ‘Future of Jobs 2025’ report, it is projected that 170 million new jobs will be created globally by 2030, while 92 million existing positions are expected to disappear, resulting in a net gain of 78 million jobs.

Technological impact is widespread, with 40% of global jobs exposed to AI, a figure that rises to 60% in advanced economies. This shift necessitates a focus on lifelong learning, upskilling, and reskilling to navigate changing professional landscapes.

In response to these shifts, educational institutions like the Luiss Business School are emphasizing the importance of critical thinking and adaptability. Experts suggest that as technology provides easier access to answers, the ability to ask the right questions and master new scenarios will become essential professional competencies.
