Overview

• Professionals with automation and strategic AI skills are earning up to 28% more, roughly US$18,000 a year, according to Ámbito.
• Routine junior work is being automated or restructured, affecting customer service, data entry, basic accounting, cashiers, call centers and administrative tasks.
• Employers emphasize candidates who can deploy AI to solve concrete problems and scale results autonomously rather than know every tool or technique.
• Adoption is broad across Argentina and the region, with surveys citing widespread use in companies and SMEs, yet organizations face a cultural shift that demands training, process redesign and trust.
• Analysts urge mass upskilling for professionals and SMEs in Argentina to narrow the technology-driven wage gap, while human-centered skills such as critical thinking, creativity, communication, problem-solving and leadership retain high value.
