Taking the title literally... that's more than 5% of the world-wide working age population -- I'd be surprised if that wouldn't cause luddite riots. But there are a lot of weasel words in the article and even the headline has a "could", I guess the gist is that they really expect generative AI to lower wages. Wish I could my hands on the actual report and not just this article which seems to summarize the reports abstract at best.
