The Impact of AI on the Job Market: Between Opportunities and Challenges
January 10, 2025 | by Matos AI
In the AI Bulletin of the last 24 hours in Brazil, we see a scenario that deserves our attention: the accelerated transformation of the job market by Artificial Intelligence. Let's analyze the main events and their implications.
According to data presented by Digital Look, by the end of 2025, AI could create 97 million new jobs globally, while another 85 million could be displaced. It’s a scenario I’ve been following closely in my experience with startups and innovation, and it demands our immediate attention.
A fundamental aspect of this transformation, highlighted by Crumbs, are the legal and ethical implications. Companies need to adapt their employment contracts and ensure compliance with the LGPD, in addition to carrying out regular audits to avoid discriminatory biases in algorithms.
The Panorama of Inequality
In an interview with Business Season, futurist Amy Webb warns of the risk of increased inequality in Brazil due to AI. In my experience leading programs such as Start-Up Brasil and Startup Farm, I can confirm that this is a real risk, but also an opportunity for transformation if we act strategically.
Emerging Trends
AI agents emerge as the big hype of 2025, as reported by Business Season. Already the Cohere launches its North platform, demonstrating how the corporate market is adapting to this reality.
Challenges and Risks
The recent case reported by CNN Brazil, about a manipulated video of Minister Haddad, illustrates the risks of misusing AI and the need for adequate regulation.
