Abstract

One of the strongest forces that are influencing the future of is Artificial Intelligence (AI). but its effect on employment and human development is doubtful and contentious. Most of the debates have put AI in two extremes: that it is a supportive resource that enhances productivity or as a menace that dethrones human workers. This work is an attempt to dispute this easygoing. view and points out that AI is not only increasing work but also changing its nature, not only increasing it. decreasing jobs. Not only technology, but also will determine the future of employment. how change brought on by AI is met by governments, institutions, and societies. The main issue that will be solved in this study is the increasing gap between the fast acceptance of. AI and the gradual maladaptation of the labor markets, education systems, and policies. AI is enhancing productivity and developing new jobs in parts of the work like data analysis, system monitoring, and innovation. Simultaneously, it is lowering the need of routine, repetitive, and low-skill jobs. This brings the fear of unemployment, job insecurity and widening. inequality. The benefits of AI in productivity do not necessarily result in increased employment or higher wages, particularly, when employees are not provided with a chance to acquire new knowledge. Another assumption that is being challenged in this paper is that AI-induced job losses are automatically so. be substituted by new work places. Reskilling will be impossible without the appropriate training programs. initiatives, and systems of social protection, online lots of workers can be left out. AI-based Further, management systems, monitoring the workplace, and automated decision-making can be used. reshape the worker-independence and augment the pressure on employees. As a result, AI affects not alone is worked, but also the organization and experience of work. The study points out that employment is more likely to have a hybrid form in the future, where AI and human beings collaborate. AI processes are used in this model to deal with heavy and repetitive data. whilst human beings concentrate on creativity, judgment, ethical reasoning and interpersonal work. Nevertheless, this balance will only be attained through sound policies, investment in education, and equity. regulation of AI systems. The conclusion of the study is that the influence of AI on employment is not predetermined and inevitable. It is influenced by human will, political decisions and societal values. If managed wisely, AI have the potential to sustain valuable and accommodating employment. When it is neglected or mismanaged, it becomes dangerous. growing disparity and lack of security. Thus, the future of work is not humanistic. as opposed to AI, but of humans collaborating with AI through an equitable and sustainable manner
