Overview
- OpenAI’s new evaluation lists 44 occupations at high task-level risk, finding advanced models outperform humans across many real-world tasks in sectors such as retail, sales, editing and software development.
- Goldman Sachs forecasts sustained GDP gains driven by AI-enabled productivity but weak job creation, cautioning that entry-level roles are thinning and that Gen Z will bear outsized barriers to getting hired.
- Mexico-focused and global surveys show workers have raced ahead of employers, with nine in ten employees using AI tools but only a minority of firms integrating them effectively, creating Shadow AI and security risks.
- MIT’s 2025 “GenAI Divide” report finds most companies stuck in pilots with little measurable ROI, as only about 5% move deployments into production and capture tangible business value.
- Marketing illustrates the split-screen reality: spending and ROI are rising with hybrid human+AI models and new roles like AI creative producers and prompt designers, yet experts urge clearer strategy, governance and reskilling to avoid wasted investments.
