    다보스 회의로 알려진 세계경제포럼(WEF)은 19일, 로봇과 인공지능 등 신기술의 등장으로 일본을 포함한 15개국•지역의 실업자수가 향후 5년간 510만 명으로 늘어날 것이라고 예측한 보고서를 발표했다.

신기술은 200만 명의 새로운 고용을 낳는 한편, 생산효율이 상승해 잉여인원이 발생하는 오토메이션화가 발전돼 710만 명이 직업을 잃을 것이라고 한다. 15개국•지역은 일본 외 미국과 중국, 동남아시아국가연합(ASEAN) 등으로 세계 노동인구의 65%를 차지하고 있다.

20∼23일에 개최되는 다보스 회의에서는, 신기술이 세계의 경제와 사회에 어떠한 영향을 미치는 가를 주요 테마로 삼고 있다.【다보스 교도】

WEF: Robots, automation, and AI will replace 5 million human jobs by 2020

Significant technological advances have reshaped society as we know it.

But the World Economic Forum (WEF) warned that while this is pushing us into "the fourth industrial revolution" and is transforming the labour markets beyond all recognition from decades ago, it will lead to a net loss of over 5 million jobs in 15 major developed and emerging economies by 2020.

These countries include Australia, China, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, the UK, and the US.

WEF said in its report, entitled "The Future of Jobs," which was published on Monday, that while skills and jobs displacement will affect every industry and geographical region, these job losses can be offset by employment growth in other areas.

WEF estimated that 7.1 million jobs could be lost through redundancy, automation, or disintermediation, while the creation of 2.1 million new jobs, mainly in more specialised areas such as computing, math, architecture, and engineering, could partially offset some of the losses.

"Without urgent and targeted action today to manage the near-term transition and build a workforce with futureproof skills, governments will have to cope with ever-growing unemployment and inequality, and businesses with a shrinking consumer base," said Klaus Schwab, founder and executive chairman of the World Economic Forum, in the report.
