Davos Outcomes: Economic Gap and Employment Threat

Discussions at Davos on January 24–25, 2026, concluded with a disturbing consensus: the gap between AI investment and real adoption is widening, while social risks are underestimated. Industry leaders warn that the mantra "AI won't replace you, but a person using AI will" is ceasing to hold true.

Structural job cuts are being observed in several sectors (copywriting, support, basic coding). Forum economists urge governments to prepare "safety nets" and reskilling programs, as 2026 could mark the beginning of mass white-collar automation.
