Key Points
- Artificial Intelligence (AI) is reshaping the global labor market, driving gains for productivity and redefining skill requirements.
- While AI may replace some routine roles, it also augments human skillsets, creates new job categories, and boosts productivity.
- Current tendencies demonstrate that the labor market requires adaptable skills, including digital literacy and AI proficiency, rather than relying on traditional educational degrees.
- Asia’s labor force profile demonstrates uneven educational attainment and digital readiness, making some groups and subregions highly vulnerable to job loss.
- Policymakers in Asia need to deliver effective policy responses in terms of upskilling labor, digital inclusion initiatives, and social safety nets to ensure inclusive and human-centric AI adoption.
