Comment by Kristalina Georgieva
Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund

Quote attributed to Kristalina Georgieva about AI being "like a tsunami hitting the labor market." Web search confirms she said this at the World Economic Forum in Davos on Jan 23, 2026. Multiple sources (Fortune, Time, Yahoo Finance, BusinessToday India, WION) repeat the exact same phrases. Vote "against" is correctly aligned -- Georgieva warns AI will eliminate entry-level jobs and affect the middle class. Year 2026 is current. Quote is relevant to statement 389.
