Enterprise technology powered by artificial intelligence will create more jobs than it eliminates within the next three years, accounting for two million net new jobs by 2025, according to IT industry research firm Gartner Inc.
It expects “millions” of jobs to be displaced by AI over the next few years, with positions in the manufacturing sector hit hardest, as more companies deploy AI-enabled technologies to handle routine tasks.
But within three years those losses will reverse to gains, Gartner said in a report this week.
By 2020, it expects AI to create 2.3 million jobs, while eliminating 1.8 million, led by “new positions of highly skilled, management and even the entry-level and low-skilled variety.”
