AI impact on global labor markets and future planning

Artificial intelligence is projected to significantly impact the global labor market. Kristalina Georgieva, Director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), stated that AI will affect 40% of jobs globally. This impact is expected to be more pronounced in advanced economies, affecting 60% of jobs, compared to 23% in developing economies. Georgieva noted that AI may reinforce, devalue, or eliminate certain roles, and acknowledged that the IMF cannot precisely predict the state of the labor market in five years.

In a related discussion on shaping the future, the 11th edition of Foro Géiser is scheduled for November 6, 2026, in Tenerife. Organized by the Fundación Canaria Géiser, the forum will focus on the concept of 'hyperstition'—the idea of constructing the future through data and purpose. The event aims to promote a humanist economy that balances growth with social, environmental, and cultural impact.
