McKinsey study warns AI could displace 11 million US employees by 2030
McKinsey estimates that AI automation could displace approximately 11 million US workers, particularly in administrative, customer service, and knowledge-work roles. BFSI roles (back-office, compliance, junior trading, loan processing) are disproportionately exposed.
WHY IT MATTERS
BFSI will face talent retraining costs, wage compression in displaced roles, and potential regulatory scrutiny on workforce stability; boards should model displacement scenarios by function.
