Javeriana study: 27% of workers analyzed in Colombia hold jobs with high automation potential
The report "Artificial Intelligence and Employment in Colombia," by the Javeriana Center for Competitiveness of the Pontificia Universidad Javeriana, found that 27% of the workers analyzed hold occupations with high relative automation potential, 54% are in occupations with low potential and 19% fall into an uncertain category. The study combined international indicators of occupational exposure to AI with the DANE's 2025 Gran Encuesta Integrada de Hogares. The center's director, Óliver Pardo, said high automation potential does not amount to a forecast of job loss.
