PwC Global Chairman Mohamed Kande challenges the common narrative surrounding AI-driven layoffs. He asserts that businesses adopting AI at scale are frequently expanding their workforces. AI creates new demand for roles in implementation, governance, data, and client delivery. PwC's internal jobs data supports this, showing stronger headcount growth at companies highly exposed to AI. Kande suggests AI primarily leads to job redesign rather than widespread replacement.
