How artificial intelligence is already impacting today's jobs

The impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on the future of jobs is usually discussed in theoretical terms. Reports and opinion pieces cover the full spectrum of opinion--from the dystopian landscape that leaves millions unemployed, to new opportunities for social and economic mobility that could transform society for the better. But the impact of AI on jobs is not just theoretical any more--it's very much part of our present. The World Economic Forum's The Future of Jobs 2018 takes a look at how today's jobs are being transformed by the introduction of new technologies. Data on the skills that millions of members report on LinkedIn can give us additional insight into how AI is impacting different industries and job functions globally.
