The rapid adoption of artificial intelligence in workplaces is raising concerns about exacerbating inequality and job displacement. Experts at the GITEX Asia 2025 conference emphasize that while AI could streamline work and create new opportunities, it also risks leaving some people behind and widening global inequality. Leaders are split between prioritizing job protection versus workforce adaptation, with the consensus leaning toward skills training and human-centric approaches. Ethical issues—such as accelerating bias through AI—are also challenging leaders. Experts urge collaborative efforts among companies, governments, and educational institutions to ensure AI advances benefit everyone rather than entrenching existing inequalities.
