Artificial Intelligence And Jobs Of The Future, 17 JAN

 Artificial Intelligence And Jobs Of The Future

 
Economical 01/16/2025  Yasser Al-Metwally    Studies show that 41 percent of companies around the world plan to reduce the number of their employees by 2030 due to artificial intelligence services.
 
This shocking percentage heralds the exacerbation of mass unemployment and its impact on global stability, as
 
unemployment is considered one of the most complex challenges facing governments and causes great troubles for countries.
 
Here we stop at several questions that we put before the Iraqi planner so that they are accessible to the decision maker.
 
If this remarkable prediction is correct, there will be questions that require answering.
 
How do you address unemployment in Iraq, even though it is already widespread and the solutions are still simple for more than 20 years?
 
Are our universities qualified to address such an upcoming challenge in light of the expansion of the number of universities and their outputs?
 
What is the ability of individuals (employees or workers), I mean in the government sector and the private sector, to adapt to the monsters of the coming change?
 
How much time do we need to qualify and prepare a generation armed with information knowledge and capable of dealing with artificial intelligence?
 
This comes in light of the horizontal expansion in public and private universities with specializations that have become traditional and supplying the labor market with specializations that are redundant to the need, which contributes to deepening the extent of unemployment.
 
A sincere call to reconsider investment in education to create a young generation with new skills to occupy the jobs of the future to catch up with the global movement.
 
In parallel with the tireless efforts and continued government interest, and with the follow-up of the Prime Minister and his team, in adopting the digital transformation project and achieving somewhat acceptable results.
 
We hope that this new year will witness the achievement of tangible results.
 
We see the need for a vision from the Council of Ministers in partnership with the private sector (companies, banks, public and private education) for what the country needs in the year 2030 in terms of jobs and investments, and to give instructions to the education sector to be structured from now on to comply with the requirements of Vision 2030.
 
Preparing cadres and qualifying the capabilities of dependable youth to build the country according to the requirements of future jobs so that we do not lag behind the world in responding to rapid changes, while showing that the next five years are short to continue the response.
 
What is required is a medium-term plan, in addition to thinking carefully about a strategic plan that responds to subsequent developments.    https://alsabaah.iq/108661-.html
