The latest study by the World Economic Forum (WEF) shows that companies worldwide are increasingly relying on retraining their employees rather than replacing jobs with Artificial Intelligence (AI). About 77% of the surveyed companies plan to train their staff to work with AI, while only 41% consider downsizing due to automation. The focus on training is particularly strong in wealthier countries, while the share is slightly lower in less developed regions.

The WEF report emphasizes the importance of retraining, as by 2030, about 59% of the global workforce will need to acquire new skills to meet the demands of the changing labor market. The trend also shows that companies are investing in AI and automation to increase their competitiveness without losing their workforce.


Despite technological advancements, the study authors stress the need to enhance human skills in conjunction with AI. Companies that prioritize training are better prepared for the upcoming challenges and offer their employees valuable opportunities for development.
