New research shows that just [6 out of 158 U.S. CEOs](https://www.axios.com/2024/01/16/ceo-return-to-office-wars?utm_source=recruitmentmarketing.beehiiv.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=davos-ceos-talk-hiring)said they'll prioritize bringing workers back to the office full-time in 2024.

In fact, there are over two dozen events on the Davos schedule that directly reference A.I. in their titles. **Labor is also on the agenda.** Davos leaders are talking about how AI can impact the job market. According to the **International Monetary Fund,** almost 40% of jobs around the world could be affected by the rise of artificial intelligence, a trend that is likely to deepen inequality. “Many \[countries\] don’t have the infrastructure or skilled workforces to harness the benefits of AI, raising the risk that over time the technology could worsen inequality,” wrote **IMF** chief **Kristalina** **Georgieva** in a [blog post](https://www.imf.org/en/Blogs/Articles/2024/01/14/ai-will-transform-the-global-economy-lets-make-sure-it-benefits-humanity?utm_source=recruitmentmarketing.beehiiv.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=davos-ceos-talk-hiring) ahead of the annual meeting. **So … who’s hiring?** Despite all the talk of AI replacing jobs, **JPMorgan** President and COO **Daniel Pinto** said in an interview the bank is planning to add headcount this year as it sees opportunities to expand its presence in US wealth management. “All the components are for a strong year,” **Pinto** told **Bloomberg**. “When I look at our plans, we will increase our staff this year for sure.” 📥 Read more in**[The Wall Street Journal](https://www.wsj.com/business/a-turbulent-year-may-lie-aheadceos-at-davos-are-optimistic-b77e8e3b?utm_source=recruitmentmarketing.beehiiv.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=davos-ceos-talk-hiring)****.**   **NUMBERS** ## **Numbers That’ll Make You Think** - **$65 million** — The amount spent by **S&P 500** executives in personal travel on corporate jets, up 50% from pre-pandemic levels ([WSJ](https://www.wsj.com/business/the-65-million-perk-for-ceos-personal-use-of-the-corporate-jet-has-soared-bc20a988?mod=WTRN_pos1&cx_testId=3&cx_testVariant=cx_166&cx_artPos=0&utm_source=recruitmentmarketing.beehiiv.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=davos-ceos-talk-hiring)) - **25%** — The percentage of employees who do not trust that their employer will implement AI “responsibly” ([Unleash](https://www.unleash.ai/future-of-work/1-in-4-dont-trust-their-employer-will-implement-ai-responsibly/?utm_source=recruitmentmarketing.beehiiv.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=davos-ceos-talk-hiring)) - **200** — The number of calls per week **Adidas** CEO **Bjørn Gulden** receives from his employees after sharing his personal cell phone number with all 60,000 of them, in an effort to “improve communication” across the company ([LinkedIn News](https://www.linkedin.com/news/story/adidas-ceo-to-workers-call-me-6554218/?utm_source=recruitmentmarketing.beehiiv.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=davos-ceos-talk-hiring)) - **91%** — The percentage of employers who say the 2023 **Supreme** **Court** decision on affirmative action has not caused them to deprioritize DEI efforts at their organizations ([HR Brew](https://www.hr-brew.com/stories/2024/01/12/57-of-c-suite-executives-expanded-inclusion-equity-and-diversity-efforts-over-the-last-year-survey-finds?utm_source=recruitmentmarketing.beehiiv.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=davos-ceos-talk-hiring))   **A MESSAGE FROM TALENT ACQUISITION WEEK** **Talent Acquisition Week** combines three leading talent acquisition events in one week to deliver the most comprehensive conference experience: providing attendees with the latest on talent sourcing, recruiting and employer branding strategies.
