‘AI to create 97m jobs by 2025’

Artificial Intelligence (AI) will dominate the global setup in near future, and Pakistan must take proactive measures to adopt it in order to compete with the fast-changing global demands.

This was stated by Ahmad Hassan, chairman of the FCCI Standing Committee on R&D, at a meeting in Faisalabad on Tuesday.

He told the meeting that IT and digitalization would entirely change the global face, and countries like Pakistan must grasp this knowledge to survive in the global scenario.

Commenting on the importance of AI, he said that 86% of business houses had already become a part of mainstream IT technology while 80% of B2B market executives confessed that IT had already revolutionised their sector.

Ahmad Hassan acknowledged that AI would substantially eliminate traditional jobs, but at the same time it would create approximately 97 million jobs in the AI sector by 2025.
