Key insights & Data highlights

New technologies are affecting labor markets and the nature of work by displacing, augmenting or creating new tasks performed by workers.

Robots are displacing industrial workers in routine manual task occupations (e.g., assembly line operators).

AI threatens to displace services workers not only in routine tasks (e.g., risk assessors) but increasingly in nonroutine cognitive tasks (e.g., interpreters). AI-empowered robots could also impact workers in nonroutine manual occupations.

Both AI and digital platforms may lead to the creation of new tasks (e.g., AI-prompt engineers and cloud engineers).
