Estimates vary, but experts converge on a transformative window of 10 to 30 years for AI to reshape most jobs. A McKinsey report projects that by 2030, 30% of current U.S. jobs could be automated, with 60% significantly altered by AI tools. Goldman Sachs predicts up that to 50% of jobs could be fully automated by 2045, driven by generative AI and robotics.
Goldman Sachs previously estimated that 300 million jobs could be lost to AI, affecting 25% of the global labor market. On the bright side, AI is least threatening to labor-intensive careers in construction, skilled trades, installation and repair, and maintenance.
