AI for Good Webinar

Generative AI and Jobs: A global analysis of potential effects on job quantity and quality

The ILO's "AI & Work" webinar, part of the AI for Good initiative, analyzes Generative AI's impact on jobs, indicating high automation risks for clerical roles and transformations in higher-tier jobs, with a focus on global and demographic effects and policy discussions, plus a networking event.

The new webinar series “AI & Work”, curated by the International Labour Organization, kicks off with a presentation of a global ILO study which analyses the potential exposure of occupations and tasks to Generative AI, and the possible implications of such exposure for job quantity and quality. It estimates task-level scores and then models potential employment effects at the global level as well as by country income group, highlighting the profile of those most affected. The study finds that clerical work is highly exposed to the technology and at risk of automation. Managers, professionals and associate professionals, are likely to see their jobs transformed as only some tasks can be automated. Nevertheless, these positions will transform, with likely consequences for job quality.  The study discusses the different policy options to address these challenges.

This live event includes a 30-minute networking event hosted on the AI for Good Neural Network. This is your opportunity to ask questions, interact with the panelists and participants and build connections with the AI for Good community.
