AI is likely to worsen overall global inequality, with nearly 40% of jobs worldwide potentially affected, according to an assessment by the International Monetary Fund. High-income countries face greater risks from AI, with 60% of jobs estimated to be impacted, compared to 40% in emerging markets and 26% in low-income nations. Workers who can access the benefits of AI may see higher productivity and salaries, while those who cannot are at risk of falling further behind, worsening income and wealth inequality within countries.
