40% of workers will have to reskill in the next three years due to AI, says IBM study - Sabrina Ortiz, ZDNet

Generative AI models like ChatGPT can do many technical tasks, such as writing and coding, well -- so well that many people fear that the technology will replace their jobs. A new IBM study shows that people shouldn't fear the technology, but rather leverage it for their own gain. The IBM report analyzes how the emergence of AI is affecting company business models, especially in how they leverage AI to carry out their operations and how it affects job roles. To find answers to these questions, IBM pulled data from two prior studies, one survey of 3,000 C-level executives across 28 countries and another of 21,000 workers in 22 nations. The results showed that AI will undoubtedly cause change in the workforce and businesses, but not necessarily for the worse.
