An IMF report estimates AI will disrupt 40% of global jobs, up to 60% in advanced economies. The speaker proposes a UN-style global observatory to monitor job losses by sector and region, then coordinate resources to manage the transition.

There are challenges that come from AI, like the disruption of labor forces that we will see all over the world. The IMF just wrote a report that said 40% of all jobs will be significantly disrupted by AI, 60% in advanced industrial economies. Well, we want to make sure that when that happens, that the resources that are deployed to respond to it are done so efficiently. Well, the best way to ensure they're efficient are if you have a single global observatory, a single global institution that acts analytically to assess how those jobs in those sectors in those geographies are actually being disrupted, like the United nations does around climate change. A global challenge.
