Prediction 4: The use of AI will increase rapidly in 2026 for a wider range of activities than previously seen.
The consensus across business and management publications is that eventually AI will create more jobs than it displaces. According to Forbes, much has been made of the existing jobs that will be displaced, but in 2026 the focus will shift to the many new roles created. We will start to see the true scale of opportunities for people with AI skills in new roles as well as existing roles adapted to the use of AI. However, 2026 will be a transition year when all job losses may not be replaced by new positions.
There is an opportunity for displaced workers to develop different skill sets to take new roles. In addition, it may be feasible to retrain workers with institutional knowledge to support an AI-based workplace. At this point, the most successful and accurate use of AI leverages human input. Any retraining would be a long process, however, and the immediate job loss will be significant.
This short-term impact is already being felt by global workforces. In the UK, a major new survey by the Chartered Institute of Personnel Development shows that one in six UK companies expect AI to reduce the size of their workforce within the next 12 months. Some 62% of anticipated job losses are expected to fall on clerical staff, junior management, professional staff, and administrators as AI implementation accelerates. The impact is expected to be most pronounced among large private sector companies and least among public sector employees.
