Workers seek more job security in the age of AI BCG’s annual Global Talent Survey provides insights into worker priorities and perceptions from more than 150,000 people across 188 countries. For the first time in the 10-year lifespan of the Global Talent survey job security emerged this year as the top workplace priority among respondents. BCG suggest that this increased focus on job security may be due to industry restructuring and heightened geopolitical uncertainty, some of it around AI. While the impact of technology on jobs is not new, the disruptive potential of gen AI is affecting a wide range of sectors, influencing not only repetitive tasks but also the potential for creative and conceptual work.

If you look at all the previous generations of past technological paradigm shifts, for the first time, the aspect under threat is what makes humans unique- pattern recognition and to a large extent creativity. In the past, we mostly sped up, automated routine tasks or massively expanded ‘muscle’ / physical capacity, but for the first time the most vulnerable and susceptible are knowledge workers, and intellectually most brains comprehend that as these machines get better, there are no other practical frontiers for us. And that is scary.

3wI think business leaders should be looking to reassure team members by exploring with them the untold opportunities that will now exist that didn't prior to the advent of AI. As a provider of AI related services, we're discovering on a daily basis new tasks as well as the potential automation of these tasks that could never have been achieved before. This could have been attributed to a lack of resources, logistics or the available technology to perform costly, labour intensive tasks. As with the introduction of the desktop PC back in the late 80's early 90's, when the fear of job losses reached fever pitch. I along with many others can see a future that is far from the apocalyptic vision that was forecast back then and is being repeated now. If leaders look to grow and innovate instead of just looking to cut costs, then it will be a "win win" for all parties......Just my two penn'orth's worth.
