00:02Boston Consulting Group said artificial intelligence will reshape between 50%
00:06and 55% of U.S. jobs over the next three years, changing how work is done rather than eliminating
00:12most roles, according to CBS News. The firm projected that 10% to 15% of jobs could be
00:18replaced over the next five years. Managing director and senior partner Matthew Kropp said
00:23indiscriminate layoffs are harmful to society and companies, and emphasized that many jobs
00:27should be reskilled rather than eliminated. He urged business leaders to use AI to augment
00:32workers and prioritize reskilling employees into roles with stable demand. The analysis
00:37found that some roles, such as software engineering, may see higher demand as costs fall, while
00:42call center jobs may decline due to automation. Jobs requiring physical presence or interpersonal
00:47skills are expected to see limited impact. BCG said new job categories may emerge, though
00:52they remain unclear.
