The Impact of Robot and AI on Human Workforce

Robots and artificial intelligence (AI) are transforming work across many industries, and it is important to evaluate the impact of these technologies on employment, productivity, and the overall economy. While automation and AI have clear benefits such as efficiency, lower costs, and greater accuracy, these technological advances pose challenges, such as loss of jobs, skills mismatch, and economic inequality. This paper will examine how different sectors are being impacted, considering the potential for new job creation in emerging fields, and discuss the need for reskilling and training to prepare the workforce for the future. Throughout history, technological advancements have had a dual-edged effect. While such advancements have enhanced and benefited us, they have also brought about unforeseen issues that sometimes are rectified, and at other times require urgent strategic policy measures. The global economy and future of work are expected to be more automated, but only if we strategize and take policy measures to achieve a “just” transition.
