IMF calls for retraining and protections as AI reshapes jobs

TL;DR Summary
An IMF analysis of the US, UK, Germany, Denmark, Brazil and South Africa finds AI-related skill demand is boosting wages but not net employment in the most exposed jobs; five years on, regions with higher AI-skill demand show a 3.6% employment gap. The IMF urges stronger retraining, social protection and education reform so workers can leverage AI rather than compete with it, ahead of Davos.
