40% of companies are adding jobs after deploying AI, not killing them

More than 40% of organizations are adding more jobs as a result of bringing artificial intelligence (AI) into their business, according to a Tuesday report from Dun & Bradstreet. Despite worries of AI being a threat to jobs, only 8% of the 100 business executives from Global 2000 organizations surveyed reported that their companies were cutting jobs after implementing the new technology. Some 34% of respondents said job demand was staying the same at their companies regardless of AI implementation. And 18% reported AI not impacting their workforce at all, indicating that the fear around AI may be mostly due to hype.
