Signal About 75% of current roles will need reshaping as AI embeds across workflows

Summary

McKinsey research on the agentic organization estimates how far AI will reshape existing jobs. As AI becomes embedded throughout workflows, around three-quarters of current roles are expected to need redesign. The new roles will call for a different mix of skills, pairing stronger technological fluency with deeper social, emotional, and higher-order cognitive abilities. The report adds that new human roles, such as trust and safety leads and AI product owners, are already emerging. It calls for cross-functional teams that combine technology, data, and human resources expertise with business experience to manage this broad reshaping.
