"By 2030, not only will all IT work rely on AI, but much of it will be performed by bots without the help of humans, Gartner's analysts said. They predicted that in five years, 25 percent of IT work will be totally performed by bots, while 75 percent of IT workloads will be performed by humans with the help of AI. This isn't a welcome prediction for AI naysayers, who often point to potential job losses as a reason to be dubious about AI."
"Currently, only 1 percent of job losses are the result of AI, per Gartner's numbers. That doesn't mean there won't be any AI-related job losses in IT, though. Plummer and Mullery believe that AI will take away entry-level IT jobs. This aligns with some of what we're already seeing today. According to data from labor research firm Revelio Labs, "highly AI exposed entry-level jobs have declined by over 40 percent" from January 2023 to July 2025."
By 2030 all IT department work will involve AI, shifting from 81 percent of IT work currently performed without AI. Within five years 25 percent of IT work will be entirely performed by bots, while 75 percent of IT workloads will be performed by humans augmented with AI. Organizations already use AI in recruiting, journalism, customer service, and social media influencing. The IT industry has prepared for thousands of AI-driven job losses, but Gartner does not expect an AI jobs bloodbath; currently only 1 percent of job losses are attributed to AI. Labor research firm Revelio Labs reports highly AI-exposed entry-level jobs declined by over 40 percent from January 2023 to July 2025.
