The Real Risk With Artificial Intelligence

Everyday AI is automating more jobs. Experts predict that AI will replace full-time careers in 2025—reducing the number of jobs and creating a greater reliance on gig employment and freelancers. AI has been in the wild wild west for the last couple of years.

We’ve gone from fears of the invasion of artificial intelligence (AI) replacing our jobs in 2023 to business leaders observing that AI is shrinking an already competitive job market in 2024.

But the expert consensus is that AI is a tool to help workers be more efficient, not to disrupt employment rates as much as people believe, according to Jae Gardner, director of operations at Redrob. “If anything, it will expand a company’s workforce, but probably more globally,” he told me through email.

One example is the emergence of AI Avatars to assist the workforce in everyday tasks in 2025.

Andy Bradshaw, CEO of SHL, believes embracing AI is as much a cultural journey as it is a technological one. “Not only do workers need to have the appetite and skills to embrace AI, but leaders need to foster a culture of curiosity, adaptability and continuous learning,” he told me through email.

“If organizations are to gain real value, using AI as a tool to amplify the work of humans in ways that enhance efficiency, decision-making, and productivity leaders need to shift their people from fearing the disruption to really driving it—and that’s when the real innovation begins.”

“Some will embrace this more readily than others, but to succeed, organizations must balance small-scale experimentation with building a broader, AI-ready culture,” he adds. “AI will become dominant in the workforce, so it’s essential to start learning in a controlled environment now.”
