Mars Finance News, on May 30th, KobeissiLetter published a market opinion stating that AI is about to reshape the global labor market. It is estimated that approximately 24% of jobs worldwide (about 838 million) will be impacted by generative AI, with high-income countries being the most affected, about 33% of employment facing risks, and about 6% of jobs potentially facing the highest level of AI replacement risk—these jobs typically involve repetitive and predictable tasks. Regionally, Europe and Central Asia are the most affected (about 32%), the Americas follow (about 30%), and Africa is the least affected (about 13%). The overall exposure of low-income countries is only one-third that of high-income countries. The largest labor market transformation in modern history has now begun.

Europe is leading the world with 32%. With unions so strong over there, a major disturbance is probably coming.

838 million? That number looks frightening, but it seems white-collar workers are suffering more than blue-collar workers.

The largest-scale transformation in history, this phrase carries too much weight. Can the education system keep up?

This wave of generative AI is different from automation back then; this time, it's the thinkers who are panicking.

33% versus 13%, if this digital divide isn't properly addressed, global inequality will directly explode.

Low-income countries are less exposed because the jobs are too basic, and AI is too lazy to replace them? That explanation is a bit harsh.

High-income countries are actually more exposed, which is a bit counterintuitive, but upon reflection, it makes sense—AI will primarily replace those who work in offices.

The transformation has begun, but is the social safety net ready? Don't just keep shouting slogans.

Already started thinking about how many more years I can keep working, feeling anxious.

Approximately one-third exposure means two-thirds of people are temporarily safe? Or is it just delayed?
