How many people may be made jobless by the AI? Goldman Sachs warns dire consequences

AI's rapid use has steadily reshaped employment across many industries, prompting companies to restructure their workforces, leading to large?scale layoffs and job displacement. By early 2025, more than 14 million jobs worldwide had been lost directly to AI?driven technologies. It is being predicted that up to 800 million roles could be at risk by 2030. Tech giants Microsoft, Amazon, and Google together cut about 49,000 positions since 2023 due to AI efficiency gains. Not only IT, across other sectors like Manufacturing & logistics, Retail & customer service, AI-automation has also displaced several jobs, leading to a rise in mental?health claims among displaced workers. Amid this, a new report by Goldman Sachs suggests that the machine-led disruption could be far-reaching.
