Expert opinions on Future Of Work

AI will lead to an explosion of not just new jobs, but new job families.

We all know generative AI will destroy certain jobs and will create new jobs.

Businesses that report using AI to improve business operations are more likely to report reductions in workforce headcount than those using AI for other purposes.

AI is already changing how people work, and it's bringing real risks: massive job losses, increased workplace surveillance, and weaker bargaining power for workers. We need to get ahead of it.

For now, AI is not (yet) destroying jobs at scale. Even in advanced economies, only a small share of roles currently face a high risk of full automation. Instead, AI is reshaping how work is organised, who benefits, and who is left behind.

Across the global economy, we’re beginning to see a new divide emerge between different models for talent and value creation. The companies seeing the greatest returns on AI are using it to amplify human expertise, accelerate innovation and create en...

Benefit-sharing across borders. Almost all dividend and ownership proposals stop at the national border. But the populations most exposed to displacement and least able to capture AI’s gains are often outside the countries where it is built. We want ...

ABUNDANCE IS COMING. THE QUESTION IS WHO IT'S COMING FOR.

AI could make goods and services cheaper than ever, raising hopes for a new age of abundance where scarcity plays a smaller role in human life.

Scarcity has shifted, not disappeared: The premise of AI abundance needs sharper evidence.

Important and sensitive decisions — concerning employment, credit, access to public services or even a person’s reputation — risk being fully delegated to automated systems that do not know “compassion, mercy, forgiveness, and above all, the hope tha...

Hence, under the overarching ambit of the National AI Council and together with tripartite partners, we are studying the use of AI tools by businesses and its impact on employment, before deciding the most appropriate approach for Singapore.

The requirement of human review is one of the most burdensome compliance elements for employers, particularly in comparison to states that allow alternative processes rather than human review.

Eventually, we need some form of universal basic income for everybody while they work and once they retire.

Paying people not to work will only increase inequality and rancor. [...] If universal basic income is aimed to improve the objective conditions of the average person in 2050, it has a fair chance of succeeding. But if it is aimed to make people subj...

Universal basic income is not the answer to the impact of AI on the labour market.
