Description

The AI revolution represents a technological discontinuity comparable to electrification or the internet, with global AI markets reaching $542 billion by 2025. Unlike earlier waves of automation focused on physical tasks, intelligent machines are now capable of cognitive work—reshaping finance, healthcare, logistics, education, and public services simultaneously. AI’s diffusion is expanding beyond tech giants, becoming an essential infrastructure layer across economies.

Labor market transformation is one of AI’s most immediate consequences. By 2025, AI is expected to displace 85 million jobs while creating 97 million new roles, generating net employment growth but severe disruption in routine occupations. AI skills now command a 56% wage premium, highlighting the emergence of a bifurcated workforce where AI literacy becomes a core determinant of opportunity.

Education and healthcare systems are also being reshaped at scale. Around 60% of institutions now use AI for personalized learning, and telemedicine now accounts for 45% of global consultations, supported by AI diagnostics that match or exceed human performance in imaging. Yet alongside these gains, ethical challenges around privacy, bias, and trust remain unresolved. This report examines AI’s systemic impact and the governance structures required for equitable adoption.
