The impact of generative AI on jobs in Latin America

Generative artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing the way we work, from automating routine tasks to enabling innovative solutions. But how is it affecting different regions of the world? Who has access to these transformative technologies, and who is left behind? Could it widen the digital divide and deepen existing inequalities?

In this episode of the podcast, we explore these pressing questions with our guests Pawel Gmyrek, Senior researcher at the ILO, and Hernan Winkler, Senior economist at the World Bank. Together, they discuss findings from their research paper, Buffer or bottleneck? Employment exposure to generative AI and the digital divide in Latin America.
