Many workers are now doing management work for AI systems, but their pay and job titles have not changed. They set goals for AI tools, check the results, and fix problems when something goes wrong. A survey by BCG found that 72% of workers say AI has greatly changed the skills their job requires. However, only 36% feel they have received enough training for these new tasks. This gap between what workers must do and what support they get has stayed the same across several BCG surveys. When a worker manages other people, they usually receive a higher salary. Workers managing AI systems do not get this extra pay. Companies are adding these responsibilities faster than they are providing training.
