AI brings jobs and sales growth

In a global study, 83 percent of companies surveyed report that artificial intelligence (AI) has created new tasks and therefore jobs in their organizations.

The study thus counters the fear that artificial intelligence will lead to massive job cuts in the short term. It also highlights the growth opportunities offered by AI:

Three quarters of the companies increased their sales by ten percent, which they attribute directly to the introduction of AI. These are the core findings of Capgemini's study "Turning AI into concrete value: the successful implementers' toolkit".

In addition, more than 63 percent of companies implementing AI on a large scale said they would not cut jobs as a result of AI. The majority of the organizations surveyed (71 percent) actively train their employees in retraining and continuing education.

Among respondents who are using AI at scale, the vast majority believe AI will simplify complex work (89 percent) and that intelligent machines and humans will exist side by side in their companies (88 percent).
