Artificial Intelligence and the Associated Threats on the Human Workforce

Abstract

Research PaperAbstract—Artificial intelligence (AI) is advancing rapidly, and it is currently capable of matching or surpassing human ability in several occupations. As a result, there is growing concern about the potential impact of AI on jobs and the labour market. The paper looks at the current impact of AI on job displacement and solutions for mitigating or regulating its potential to disrupt labor markets dramatically. A literature review methodology is used in the study to assess recent studies on the impact of artificial intelligence on employment. Initial findings indicate that, while artificial intelligence may threaten specific occupations due to automation, it can also create new job opportunities and maintain total employment levels if the right policies and methodologies are implemented. Additional research is required to fully appreciate and address the workforce transformations by increasingly sophisticated AI systems.
