"New research from Gartner shows that from 2028 onwards, roughly 32 million jobs a year will be "reconfigured, redesigned, or fused". It's an outlook that pours cold water on the prospect of mass AI-related job cuts across a raft of industries, but doesn't outright deny there will be some casualties along the way. Speaking to ITPro, Helen Poitevin, distinguished VP analyst at Gartner, said the consultancy's modelling points to a period of upheaval as roles are reshaped and workers adapt to new ways of working."
"This isn't the first time Gartner has pointed to mass upskilling as a way to counter the impact of AI on the workforce. Last year, analysis from the consultancy showed software engineers and developers in particular will be forced to broaden their skillsets as a result of the technology. But upskilling is easier said than done, and with millions across multiple professions expected to adapt to compensate for the technology, is this achievable?"
From 2028 onwards, roughly 32 million jobs a year will be reconfigured, redesigned, or fused. The outlook suggests fewer mass AI-related job cuts but significant role reshaping and transitional casualties. An estimated 150,000 people will need daily upskilling and support in new ways of working, with an additional 70,000 requiring upskilling each day over the next few years. Enterprises must rewrite job expectations, redesign roles, and change workflows and processes. Mass upskilling will be necessary across professions, and clear, candid communication will be vital to support workers during this upheaval.
