Juan Pablo Chiesa, lawyer. Specialist in Work and Master in Employment and Judicial Innovation. Diploma applied to management in digital environments, explains how artificial intelligence is redrawing the global labor map, unleashing a silent revolution in companies, while governments and unions look sideways at the autonomous agents and the displacement of traditional employment.
The Artificial Intelligence (AI) It is no longer a futuristic promise. It is present embodied in software. According to Luis Sanz, vice president of IBM Consulting, autonomous agents allow improving business efficiency between 40% and 60%, automating from backoffice tasks to medium complexity decisions. Who does not adopt, says Sanz, “will have a serious problem of competitiveness.”
The big corporations do not doubt it. Amazon, JP Morgan, Walmart, Microsoft: All have implemented IA -based systems to optimize human resources, logistics chains and financial analysis. In Spain, PWC estimates that AI already represents a 25% salary differential for the profiles that handle it.
The work, hostage of the algorithm
The global PWC employment barometer warns that routine, administrative and logistics works are the first to disappear. In Europe alone, more than 400,000 positions could be extinguished before 2034. In contrast, new jobs are born, but in less volume and with an elitist bias: data science, Machine Learning engineering and design of digital products.
In Argentina, the panorama is hybrid. Large local technological firms such as Globant or Mercado Libre already train internal models of AI. But in SMEs, public unions and organizations, adoption is still shy.
The algorithm prophets
Elon Musk, in his already famous intervention in the Vivatech 2024 event, said bluntly: “It will not be necessary to work. AI can do everything. What we will need is a high universal income and meaning in life. “
Jeff Bezos, more pragmatic, argues that “the AI Does not eliminate jobs, transforms them “and bets on its use to improve human well -being. Your Amazon company leads developments in predictive intelligence applied to consumption and logistics.
Bill Gates: Preaching that in some years we will work alone 2 days a week thanks to AI.
Steve Jobs, 40 years ago, imagined a future where we could “Talk with Aristotle” thanks to technology. Today, the LLMs such as GPT or Claude make that not crazy, but a payment function.
Smart capitalism is no longer a metaphor. It is an operational model. But without regulation, it can be transformed into a digital leviathan that unemployed in mass, concentrates power and erodes rights. Argentina, even on time, must promote active policies: labor conversion, resentment and a regulatory framework that ensures that IA is not only profitable, but also fair. As a Chinese thinker said: “When the wind of change blows, some build walls, other mills.” It’s time to choose.
