This week brought significant news about how artificial intelligence, including agentic AI, is affecting workers around the world. Companies are increasingly using AI to do jobs that people used to do, and workers are worried about their job security. However, the news is mixed - workers who use AI every day are doing better in their jobs and earning more money. A major survey from PwC found that only 14% of workers use AI daily, and only 6% use the newest type called agentic AI. Meanwhile, employers are struggling to train their workers properly, with only 12% of employees getting enough AI training. A study from Stanford University found that young workers aged 22 to 25 who work in jobs that AI can do are losing their jobs faster than other workers, with a 13% decline in employment. At the same time, companies are worried about finding workers with the right AI skills, and some companies like Meta are starting to grade employees based on how well they use AI. The big challenge is that while AI promises to make work better and more productive, many companies are not using it to help workers do better - instead, they are using it to replace workers entirely.
