AI could displace 11 million US workers by 2035, report says
AI could displace 11 million US workers by 2035, report says. Artificial intelligence and automation could force roughly 11 million workers—about 7% of all employees in the United States—to find new professions by 2035. So says a report released Tuesday by management consulting giant McKinsey, which predicts automation could reduce labor demand in the U.S. by 21%—roughly 36 million jobs—over the next decade. While economic growth would allow about 25 million workers to remain in their current fields, the remaining 11 million may need to find a new occupation altogether. This means about 770,000 workers would need to switch occupational.
