Businesses worldwide are struggling to generate returns from artificial intelligence investments, with fewer than 40% of companies reporting profits from AI implementation, according to recent analysis. A central obstacle is limited worker buy-in and weak integration of AI tools into core workflows, leaving many organizations stuck in pilots despite significant spending.
The World Economic Forum’s 2025 Future of Jobs report projects a net increase of 78 million jobs by 2030, with 170 million jobs created and 92 million displaced. Growth is expected in logistics, sosourcesware and technology, and healthcare, while many routine, function-based roles face pressure.
Against that backdrop, the analysis argues that companies should treat human-capital strategy as part of their AI execution plan. .
Measures cited include creating frameworks to share productivity gains, transparently explaining potential job impacts and new skill requirements, and bringing non-technical employees and domain experts into the design and testing of AI tools from the outset. The goal is to build trust, speed adoption, and improve the odds of realizing meaningful productivity gains within the expected three-to-five-year window.
