McKinsey Global Institute warns AI and robotics could automate over 40% of US jobs by 2030, potentially affecting 57% of current work hours. The report emphasizes transformation over job loss, predicting a future where human workers collaborate with AI and robots. Key skills will evolve instead of disappearing, notably increasing demand for AI fluency, which has surged sevenfold recently. Redesigning workflows could unlock an estimated $2.9 trillion in economic value if properly implemented, rather than merely reducing headcount.
