Mohamed Kande, PwC’s global chairman, discusses how artificial intelligence is affecting employment in an interview on CNBC’s “Squawk Box.” Across the interview, he presents three main takeaways about the impact of AI on jobs. First, he characterizes AI disruption as already underway, with technologies changing how tasks are performed rather than eliminating all roles immediately. Second, he emphasizes that workers and employers will need to adapt, with growing importance placed on reskilling and upskilling to match new job requirements. Third, he highlights that businesses are likely to restructure work in response to AI, affecting workflows, job responsibilities, and the skills teams need to operate effectively.
The coverage reflects a consistent theme: AI is altering the nature of work, and organizations and employees must respond proactively. The reports do not provide specific numerical forecasts or detailed policy proposals, focusing instead on Kande’s broad perspective on how AI changes job tasks, required capabilities, and the need for training as adoption expands.
