Kai-Fu Lee  Repeats AI Will Replace 50%of Jobs by 2027

As a researcher with a background in technology and a keen interest in the development of artificial intelligence (AI), I find Kai-Fu Lee’s predictions both intriguing and thought-provoking. Lee’s extensive experience in the tech industry, having worked for major companies like Apple, Microsoft, and Google, lends significant weight to his insights.


Kai-Fu Lee, a well-known name in technology and venture capital, continues to assert that artificial intelligence (AI) will have taken over jobs for approximately half of the world’s workforce by the year 2027.

Lee, known for his tenure at Apple, Microsoft, and Google, continues to uphold his 2017 forecast that Artificial Intelligence (AI) will be capable of handling monotonous jobs like trucking and telemarketing. This belief is bolstered by the emergence of “Generation AI.”

Lee expressed, “These capabilities surpass what’s humanly possible. We believe they will impact all industries, potentially displacing about half of current jobs. The resulting prosperity could eradicate poverty.”

Lee, who heads Sinovation Ventures and 01.AI, is convinced that the significance of artificial intelligence (AI) will eventually surpass that of electricity and the internet. This belief stems from China’s rapid advancements in AI, a domain he anticipates China will dominate.

From my perspective as a researcher, Lee’s observations underscore the ongoing controversies surrounding artificial intelligence (AI) and its effects on employment, as well as its revolutionary capabilities. As industries evolve in response, my findings remain instrumental in shaping debates regarding AI’s prospective development.
