As AI propels us towards a new economic era, its potential for generating trillions in value hinges on how it is deployed in the workforce, with several scenarios possible of high to low employment and high to low productivity outcomes.

What are the most likely jobs and productivity scenarios and how should leaders shape the most desirable outcomes for economies and societies?

This session is linked to the Jobs Initiative and Good Work Alliance of the World Economic Forum.
