        "summary": "The ADB Institute has found that optimal utilisation of artificial intelligence (AI) can enhance human jobs and productivity, potentially leading to increased employment opportunities. While AI may automate routine tasks, particularly in entry-level roles, it also boosts worker performance, especially for those with lower skills, though long-term disruptions require proactive policies. In Asia, readiness for AI adoption varies due to differences in digital infrastructure and education, with advanced economies like South Korea and Singapore better positioned, and ADBI recommends reskilling programmes, adaptive AI governance, and strong social safety nets to ensure inclusive growth.",
        "content": "<p>Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia - The ADB Institute (ADBI) has uncovered new\nevidence that the optimal utilisation of artificial intelligence (AI)\ncan enhance human jobs and productivity. It could even lead to an\nincrease in employment opportunities. ADBI writes in its quarterly\nreport that current questions and concerns about AI have shifted from\nwhether jobs will disappear to how jobs will change, what skills will be\nneeded, and who will benefit. Additionally, the impact on the labour\nmarket is more complex than mere automation and job replacement, with\nvarious implications for the future of work. \u201cResearch shows that while\nAI can replace routine tasks, particularly in entry-level roles, AI also\nhas strong potential to augment human jobs and increase productivity,\u201d\nADBI writes. \u201cEvidence indicates an increase in employment rather than\ndirect replacement in the short term, but the long-term transition will\nbe disruptive without proactive policies,\u201d it adds. ADBI states that\ncompanies implementing AI strategically, such as in cybersecurity or\ndata analysis, often see increased output and employment. \u201cImportantly,\ngenerative AI can act as an equaliser, significantly improving the\nperformance of workers with low skills and little experience,\u201d ADBI\nwrites. However, readiness among Asian countries to adapt to artificial\nintelligence (AI) is uneven due to differences in digital infrastructure\nand education levels. ADBI sees a gap between countries with strong\ndigital infrastructure and others in terms of readiness to leverage AI\nfor business advancement. \u201cADBI reveals that across Asia, this dynamic\nis unfolding unevenly. Economies with robust digital infrastructure and\nhigh educational attainment, such as South Korea and Singapore, are\nbetter prepared to harness AI,\u201d ADBI writes. Meanwhile, others face\nchallenges stemming from digital divides, large informal labour markets,\nand skills mismatches, particularly in sectors like manufacturing and\nbusiness process outsourcing that are vulnerable to automation. ADBI\nrecommends that reskilling and upskilling programmes, adaptive AI\ngovernance, digital inclusion, and strong social safety nets are\nessential. \u201cUltimately, the future of work in Asia will depend on how\neffectively governments promote human-AI collaboration, ensuring that\ntechnological progress translates into inclusive and resilient growth\nrather than widening inequalities,\u201d ADBI concludes.<\/p>",
