Overview
- The WEF’s 2025 Future of Jobs report projects nearly four in ten current skills losing relevance by 2030, with about 170 million jobs created and 92 million displaced, and it flags that roughly one in ten workers who need retraining lack access.
- At Vigo Global Summit, Nobel laureate Daron Acemoglu urged a pro‑worker approach that augments rather than replaces labor and cautioned against expecting a productivity revolution, while Antón Costas stressed AI’s limits under uncertainty and the risk of social anxiety without clear guidance.
- A Google‑backed cAIre project involving OdiseIA participants reports broad agreement on the need for ex‑ante limits, worker training obligations and auditability, aligning with the EU’s 2024/1689 framework and prioritizing protections for vulnerable groups.
- Mexico announced work on a national language model with support focused on training from NVIDIA, but the company denied making a direct $1 billion investment in Nuevo León, clarifying that planned data‑center spending comes from AI‑GDC and Cipre Holding using NVIDIA technology.
- Companies report tangible gains from AI deployments—such as bank chatbots handling most customer inquiries and workplace copilots boosting efficiency—though experts note these benefits require organizational redesign and leadership to materialize.
