In 2024, approximately 59% of the Québec workforce had a job with high exposure to artificial intelligence (AI), or about 2,700,000 people. Women are more likely than men to be exposed to AI in their job (71% vs. 49%). This is due to the industrial and occupational breakdown by gender, as men are more concentrated in production occupations that are less likely to be affected by AI.
This analysis is based on data from Statistics Canada’s Labour Force Survey and focuses on the distribution of jobs in 2024 among people aged 15 and over according to the index of potential occupational exposure to AI and various workforce and job characteristics.
