Uniquely human capabilities such as judgment, creativity and leadership are becoming more valuable as artificial intelligence fundamentally reshapes the workforce, according to PwC's 2026 Global AI Jobs Barometer, released on Monday.
The findings come amid growing debate about how AI will reshape the job market and the skills employers need.
Joe Atkinson, Global Chief AI Officer at PwC, said: "Across the global economy, we're beginning to see a new divide emerge between different models for talent and value creation."
The report, based on an analysis of more than one billion job postings across six continents, suggests AI is creating a two-speed jobs market.
One category includes roles where AI handles routine tasks but still relies heavily on human expertise and judgment. These so-called "professionalised" jobs include occupations such as radiologists and recruiters.
