KPMG: AI Agents Reshaping Canadian Workforce & Hiring

Canadian business leaders are preparing for a workforce where humans and AI agents work together. A new KPMG Canada report reveals businesses are quickly adopting these AI systems, changing how they operate and hire. Here's the thing: 77% of Canadian companies are already using AI agents for tasks like sharing knowledge. What's interesting is that 66% are moving towards a fully integrated human-AI team. This isn't just about productivity; it's about reshaping how work gets done. More than half, 59%, say AI agents have already changed how they hire entry-level staff, and 63% see the same impact on experienced talent. Leaders expect agents to even lead project management teams within two to three years. This means your future job might involve working side-by-side with AI.
