Medical transcription, coding, customer support, and junior-level professional roles in India, Philippines, Kenya, and Colombia are experiencing rapid displacement due to AI systems replacing codified knowledge work. The source reports specific case studies (Bengaluru transcriptionist losing position within 12 months, Indian tech sector shedding over 500,000 jobs between 2022 and April 2024, and net hiring of only 17 across India's top five IT companies in first nine months of 2025). An IMF-cited study found that occupations with higher observed AI exposure are projected to grow less through 2034, and the workers most at risk are disproportionately female and more educated. This displacement pattern indicates that enterprise AI deployment is moving from pilot to production at speed sufficient to affect labor statistics at the national sector level, with Global South economies experiencing the doubled burden of both displacement and exclusion from AI-amplifying opportunities.
