The International Labor Organization considered that artificial intelligence may lead to an increase in jobs rather than their destruction, suggesting that the greatest impact of this technology will be reflected in potential changes in the quality of jobs, especially labor intensity and independence, and not in the destruction of some jobs.
The organization added in a study on Monday that a global analysis it conducted on the potential impacts on the number and quality of jobs indicates that most jobs and industries are only partially exposed to “automation” or dealing with them electronically or technologically – and that it is likely that the last wave of “generative artificial intelligence” will be It has a complementary role. According to the site of the seventh day in Cairo
The study revealed that clerical work may have the highest exposure group to technology, with nearly a quarter of tasks considered highly vulnerable, and more than half of tasks considered to have a medium level of exposure, while other occupational groups - including Managers, professionals and technicians - only a small proportion of the tasks were found to be "highly exposed" while about a quarter had "medium exposure levels".

The global study documents remarkable differences in the impacts on countries at different levels of development, linked to current economic structures and existing technological gaps, finding that 5.5% of total employment in high-income countries is potentially vulnerable to the effects of "automation" and technology, while in low-income countries those The risks concern only about 0.4% of the workforce.
The study noted that there are approximately equal opportunities for promotion across countries; Which suggests that with the right policies in place, this new wave of technological transformation could provide important benefits for developing countries.
The study also showed that the potential effects of "generative artificial intelligence" may differ greatly between men and women, with the possibility of the impact of "automation" and technology more than doubling on female jobs, due to the high number of women working in clerical jobs, especially in high and medium countries. Income, and that as countries develop economically, this may make some clerical jobs may never appear in low-income countries.
In terms of the social and economic effects of "generative artificial intelligence", the study said that it will depend to a large extent on how to manage its spread and the extent to which policies are designed that support an orderly, fair and consultative transition, stressing that the voice of workers and their training in skills and adequate social protection will be the key to managing the transition, and warning against If this does not happen, there is a risk that only a few well-prepared countries will benefit from the new technology
