Impact of AI on Job Creation and Disruption
AI is poised to significantly impact job creation and disruption over the next decade, with experts noting a divide in the workforce. Many repetitive, labor-intensive roles are likely to be taken over by AI, freeing up human workers to focus on more complex tasks. This shift resembles past technological advancements, where initial losses in certain job categories were met with the creation of new roles requiring advanced skills. Those who adapt and embrace AI technology will be better positioned in the workforce, while those who fail to engage with it may see their job prospects diminish.
