ILO Director General Gilbert Houngbo says it is important to equip workers with the right knowledge and education in order to meet the demands of changing times.
As Artificial Intelligence continues to reshape and change the way we work today, International Labour Organization Director General Gilbert Houngbo sees AI as more of an opportunity rather than a threat to employment despite studies showing that hundreds of millions of workers could be displaced in the next few years due to AI.
The ILO chief said it is important to equip workers with the right knowledge and education in order to meet the demands of changing times.“Globally, I’m not worried that AI will make people unemployed if we are well prepared and if we have training and reskilling programs we should benefit from it,” the ILO chief said.
