How to keep a job in a world of AI? Get creative

A new report from UBS estimates that artificial intelligence (AI) technologies could create an economic value of about $1.8 trillion to $3 trillion in Asia by 2030. But that value comes at a cost, with an estimated 30 million to 50 million jobs in Asia at risk of displacement in the medium to long term. Financial services, healthcare, manufacturing, retail and transportation, are the sectors likely to bear the brunt of job losses, according to UBS Global IT Analyst Sundeep Gantori. Speaking with CNBC's "Street Signs," he said jobs in traditional sectors that are predictive and routine in nature will be affected. So in preparation for the future, he advised that job seekers target roles requiring personalization or creativity.
