Kristalina Georgieva, the head of the International Monetary Fund, has warned that artificial intelligence is poised to cause significant job market disruption, likening it to a "slow-moving tsunami." She expressed particular concern for young workers entering the labor force, predicting that many entry-level positions could be eliminated or fundamentally altered, potentially leaving graduates in roles like baristas. The IMF estimates that approximately 40% of global jobs may be affected by AI, with middle-skilled workers being particularly vulnerable. Singapore's President Tharman Shanmugaratnam echoed these concerns, noting a decline in full-time employment for recent graduates and emphasizing the need for proactive government policies to address these structural changes and prevent a loss of trust in the future among young people.
