Artificial intelligence has the potential to automate up to 25% of current labour processes in the near future, with certain industries predicted to achieve 50% automation in the next five years. During the Talent of Tomorrow Forum, the Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism (DET) and the Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA) unveiled the Jobs of the Future study, which contained this prediction.
In line with the Dubai Economic Agenda D33 and the Education 33 Strategy, the strategy seeks to match Dubai’s educational system with developing sectors, enhancing the emirate’s standing as a worldwide centre for innovation. The research highlights the essential skills needed for the workforce of the future by utilising data from the Dubai Future of Jobs survey, which was based on input from about 7,800 students and educators.
In order to assist create a talent pool that is flexible, it suggests broad policy changes, curriculum revisions to better meet business demands, and more emphasis on career advising and interdisciplinary learning. The World Economic Forum (IMF) highlighted global macrotrends that would propel job growth between 2025 and 2030, which are also cited in the study. These include a greater dependence on technology and innovation, automation, and the green transition.
“Compared to other macrotrends, technology is anticipated to be the most divergent driver of labor-market change, creating and dislodging more jobs,” the report stated. The results indicate that “digital access” will play a significant role in creating jobs, creating 19 million positions. However, the Dubai research warns that it may also lead to the loss of 9 million jobs.
