AI threatens one in four jobs, according to the ILO. Yet the greater risk lies in transformation — not outright replacement. What does this mean for the future of work in developing economies, and how can societies prepare?
On 30 April, Professor Tshilidzi Marwala, Rector of the United Nations University and Under-Secretary-General of the United Nations, delivered a lecture titled "Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Work in Developing Economies" to explore these critical questions.
