"We collectively, including the fund, did not appreciate the backlash against globalisation that came from the fact that, yes, the world economy is doing better as a whole, but many communities were hollowed out because their jobs disappeared and there was not enough attention to them. I’ll tell you what I’m very keen not to see repeated is the same with artificial intelligence." - Kristalina Georgieva - International Monetary Fund (IMF) Managing Director

"I myself took training on AI and became a master of Co-pilot because we all have to step forward." - Kristalina Georgieva - Managing Director, IMF

"What is being eliminated [by AI] are often tasks done by new entries into the labor force - young people. Conversely, people with higher skills get better pay, spend more locally, and that ironically increases demand for low-skill jobs. This is bad news for recent ... graduates." - Kristalina Georgieva - Managing Director, IMF

Quote: Kristalina Georgieva – Managing Director, IMF

"Is the labour market ready [for AI] ? The honest answer is no. Our study shows that already in advanced economies, one in ten jobs require new skills." - Kristalina Georgieva - Managing Director, IMF

Quote: Kristalina Georgieva – Managing Director, IMF

"We assess that 40% of jobs globally are going to be impacted by AI over the next couple of years - either enhanced, eliminated, or transformed. In advanced economies, it’s 60%." - Kristalina Georgieva - Managing Director, IMF

"Productivity growth has been slow over the last two decades. AI holds a promise to significantly lift it. We calculated that the impact on global growth could be between 0,1% and 0,8%. That is very significant. However, it is happening incredibly quickly." - Kristalina Georgieva - Managing Director, IMF
