99% of global CEOs expect artificial intelligence to trigger significant layoffs within the next two years, underscoring the disruptive impact of automation on the workforce. The survey, conducted across major industries, reveals widespread anticipation that AI adoption will reshape corporate structures, with routine and middle-management roles most at risk.
Executives argue that while AI promises efficiency gains and cost savings, it also raises urgent questions about retraining, social safety nets, and long-term employment stability. Analysts note that the near-unanimous expectation of layoffs reflects a pivotal shift: AI is no longer seen as a supplementary tool but as a core driver of corporate strategy.
