A new report by the Institut de la statistique du Québec estimates that, in 2024, 59 per cent of Quebec workers held a job with “high exposure to artificial intelligence (AI).”

Exposure to AI means occupations where AI can play a beneficial complementary role or occupations where tasks could be transformed or workers be replaced by AI.
