Robots, AI to cost 5M jobs

Disruptive labor market changes, including the rise of robots and artificial intelligence, will result in a net loss of 5.1m jobs over the next five years in 15 leading countries, according to an analysis published by the World Economic Forum on Monday. The "Future of Jobs" report concluded that jobs would be displaced in every industry, although the impact would vary considerably, with the biggest negative losses likely to be in healthcare, followed by energy and financial services. Women will be the biggest losers as their jobs are often concentrated in low-growth or declining areas such as sales and office and administrative roles, the report said.
