about job losses due to AI are growing, Schneider Electric&#8217;s Country Sales Director for Sub-Saharan Africa, Elijah Daniel, argues that evidence does not support this narrative. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Performance through AI Adoption<\/strong>: Companies integrating AI into their operations are outperforming competitors, with AI enhancing rather than replacing skilled workers.<\/li>\n<li><strong>OECD Findings<\/strong>: An OECD survey of seven countries found that 83% of firms using AI experienced no change in staffing levels.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Revenue Growth in AI Integrated Industries<\/strong>: Industries heavily exposed to AI have experienced three times the revenue growth per employee compared to less exposed sectors, as reported by the PwC 2025 Global AI Jobs Barometer.<\/li>\n<li><strong>AI Use in Organizations<\/strong>: The Stanford AI Index revealed that 78% of organizations are using AI in 2024, up from 55% the previous year.<\/li>\n<li><strong>AI Potential in Africa&#8217;s Industrial Sector<\/strong>: Africa\u2019s industrial sectors, particularly in oil, gas, mining, energy, and manufacturing, stand to gain up to $1 trillion in GDP by 2035 from effective AI deployment, according to the African Development Bank.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Industrial Intelligence vs. General AI<\/strong>: AI&#8217;s true value lies not in the technology but in the quality and depth of data used for industrial intelligence, tailored specifically to an organization\u2019s assets and history.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Digitalization Impact on Oil and Gas<\/strong>: Rystad Energy anticipates AI and digitalisation to contribute nearly $500 billion in cumulative value to oil and gas companies by 2030.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fears of AI job losses not supported by evidence, expert says
