AI is coming! Are You Ready to Welcome Your New Colleague?

By: MerxWire

Artificial intelligence is accelerating workplace change. In the next few years, AI will not only reshape work patterns but also affect job search directions and skill choices. Some occupations may even be gradually replaced.


By 2027, AI will displace approximately 83 million jobs worldwide. However, it’s not all about job loss. AI is also set to create around 69 million new jobs, offering a glimmer of hope in the face of this transformative change. (Photo via Pixabay.com)

WASHINGTON, D.C. (MERXWIRE) – Artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer the exclusive domain of tech companies—it is increasingly integrated into our daily work environments. For instance, AI is used to draft reports, analyse data, automate customer support, and improve product development. According to the World Economic Forum’s 2025 Future of Jobs Report, 86% of companies worldwide are expected to undergo business transformation by 2030 due to the adoption of AI. This wave of change is forecast to create 11 million new jobs while simultaneously displacing 9 million existing roles.

There is no need to panic about AI “stealing jobs.” The real question is: are you ready to work with it? The report reveals that 75% of organizations plan to upskill their current workforce with AI capabilities, and 70% intend to hire new employees with relevant AI experience. In today’s rapidly evolving job market, your ability to work with AI is becoming more valuable than your academic degree.

Many executives are ramping up investment in AI technologies. A survey by consulting firm Accenture shows that 58% of business leaders expect to adopt generative AI solutions by 2025, which are AI systems that can create new content at scale. This represents a significant jump from 37% in 2024. Furthermore, 86% of companies surveyed said they plan to increase their AI budgets this year, underscoring that AI is no longer a luxury—it’s a necessity.

Changes in job structures are already underway. A report from Bloomberg Intelligence suggests that the global banking sector may cut up to 200,000 jobs over the next five years due to increased efficiency from AI integration, particularly in back-office and operational roles. In contrast, the fintech industry is expanding rapidly, with rising demand for new roles tied to emerging technologies. This shift reflects not a decline in industries but rather a reallocation of talent needs, where skills in AI and technology are becoming more valuable than traditional roles.

In the modern workplace, survival is no longer about who performs tasks the fastest but about who adapts quickly. Your skills are still valuable. Two key skills are emerging as essential: data literacy and technological fluency. Knowing how to collaborate with AI and leverage it to solve problems will soon become a prerequisite for employment and advancement. However, your existing skills will still be highly valuable.

AI’s evolution is a technological upgrade and a global learning challenge. The future belongs to those who are open to learning, capable of adapting, and willing to embrace change. Whether you’re a newcomer to the workforce, considering a career switch, or an industry veteran, proactively developing your AI skills is the most reliable way to stay resilient in this rapidly transforming era.
