AI is the Industrial Revolution of knowledge work, transforming how all workers can apply information, create content, and deliver results at speed and scale. How is this affecting jobs? With the AI Jobs Barometer, PwC set out to find empirical evidence to help sort fact from fiction.

PwC analysed over half a billion job ads from 15 countries to find evidence of AI’s impact at worldwide scale through jobs and productivity data.
