The Rise of AI Agents: From Funny Job Posts to a New Reality

The world adopted Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) very fast, and sometimes it feels like we have been waiting for this technology all year long.

The workplace is already feeling the impact of this surge; in the US, among various age demographics, GenAI has gained 39% adoption. Surprisingly, Nigeria leads with the highest AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) adoption rate of 70%, far exceeding the global average of 48%.

A common trend has emerged: companies are increasingly likely to hire individuals with AI-related skills over those with experience but lacking technical proficiency.

With this surge, however, only a few occupations are fully reaping the benefits. Research shows that writers, programmers, and customer support agents have largely gained productivity from GenAI.

## Digital Disparity and Automation Risks: Barriers to GenAI’s Reach

Yet, here is the catch: GenAI-friendly jobs are relatively rare in the developing world. This creates a growing divide between those who have access to this technology and those who do not.

Middle-class professionals with better education and access to technology are benefiting the most, while workers in more manual, less digitized sectors are left behind.

This growing digital disparity poses a risk of deepening socio-economic divides. As AI adoption accelerates, the automation of repetitive tasks is leaving low-skilled workers in precarious positions, unable to compete in a rapidly evolving job market.

Without proactive measures to bridge this gap, we risk creating a world where the benefits of AI are reserved for a privileged few, leaving others marginalized.

## Creating an Inclusive Environment for AI Adoption

To address this divide and ensure that AI benefits everyone, we must focus on creating a more inclusive environment. Here are some actionable steps to achieve this:

### **1. Democratizing Access to AI Education**

-   Introduce affordable or free AI-related training programs targeted at underserved communities.
    
-   Partner with organizations, NGOs, and governments to create localized content in native languages to make learning more accessible.
    

### **2. Promoting AI-Enhanced Jobs in Non-Tech Sectors**

-   Develop AI tools tailored for sectors like agriculture, construction, and small-scale manufacturing, which are dominant in developing economies.
    
-   Train workers in these industries to integrate AI tools into their workflows to boost productivity and sustainability.
    

### **3. Subsidizing Technology for Marginalized Groups**

-   Governments and corporations should work together to make AI-related tools and resources affordable for small businesses and individuals in lower-income brackets.
    
-   Offer tax incentives or grants to companies that invest in upskilling low-income workers for AI-driven roles.
    

### **4. Strengthening Policies to Mitigate Automation Risks**

-   Implement policies that encourage businesses to reskill and redeploy workers displaced by automation.
    
-   Encourage ethical AI adoption that prioritizes human-centric approaches over profit-driven automation.
    

### **5. Creating AI Awareness Campaigns**

-   Conduct campaigns to educate the public on the potential of AI and how they can leverage it in their daily lives and careers.
    
-   Highlight success stories of individuals and communities that have thrived by adopting AI.
    

## The Path Forward

AI has the potential to revolutionize the world, but its benefits must be shared equitably to avoid widening the gap between the privileged and the marginalized.

By democratizing access to AI tools, providing inclusive education, and implementing forward-thinking policies, we can create an environment where everyone has the opportunity to thrive in the age of AI.

Let’s ensure that GenAI’s transformative power becomes a force for unity and shared progress, rather than a catalyst for division.
