Davos 2026 warning: AI hits jobs like a tsunami
IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva says AI isn’t eliminating work, it’s rapidly reshaping labor markets “like a tsunami.” IMF research suggests nearly 60% of jobs in advanced economies and 40% globally will be impacted, with entry-level roles most exposed raising wage pressure and middle-class stability concerns unless large-scale reskilling accelerates. She also warned her biggest fear is that AI is moving faster than regulation and safety frameworks, saying “wake up, AI is for real,” as risks like deepfakes, cybercrime, and hallucinations scale.
Why it matters
Reframes AI from job loss to task-level disruption
Positions reskilling as a core economic priority, not HR policy
Adds urgency: safety + regulation are lagging capability
Makes AI literacy a baseline requirement for future work
