AI Impact on Workers and Workplace

Artificial intelligence (AI) is posed to potentially reshape the dynamics between workers and the workplace. Contrary to the deterministic view, AI's impact on the economy and jobs is not predetermined but subject to human intervention. While automation has historically displaced blue-collar workers, AI has the potential to augment human capabilities, enabling individuals to perform more complex tasks.
