Professionals Embrace AI To Boost Wages
PwC’s 'The Fearless Future: 2025 Global AI Jobs Barometer' finds wages rising in AI-exposed occupations when workers adapt to AI tools. Employers increasingly pay for high-level judgment and output quality rather than effort, with examples like Rajeev Mehta doubling revenue and deriving nearly 60% of earnings from AI teaching. New AI-first roles (prompt engineer, LLM operations) are emerging but remain limited by privacy and enterprise caution.
