All this week, our daily charts will focus on one of the hottest topics in business: AI. We’ll take a closer look at the technology’s implications for growth, industries, the workforce, and more.

According to a recent survey by McKinsey Global Institute partner Michael Chui, senior partner Lareina Yee, and colleagues, about four in ten respondents reporting AI adoption expect more than 20 percent of their companies’ workforces will be reskilled in the next three years, while 8 percent of respondents say the size of their workforces will decrease by more than 20 percent.
