Thesis Abstract

Abstract
The research project focuses on exploring the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on the future of work. As AI technologies continue to advance rapidly, there is a growing concern about the potential displacement of human workers by automation. This study aims to analyze the various ways in which AI is transforming the nature of work across different industries and occupations. The research will involve a comprehensive review of existing literature on AI and its implications for the workforce. By synthesizing the findings from a range of sources, including academic journals, industry reports, and expert opinions, this study seeks to provide a nuanced understanding of the challenges and opportunities posed by AI in the workplace. One key aspect of the research will be to examine the potential job displacement caused by AI and automation. While some jobs may indeed be at risk of being automated, there is also evidence to suggest that AI can create new roles and opportunities for human workers. By analyzing trends in job creation and destruction in the context of AI adoption, this study aims to shed light on the overall impact of AI on employment. Furthermore, the research will investigate the skills and competencies that will be most in demand in the AI-driven economy. As certain tasks become automated, there is a growing need for workers to develop higher-order skills such as critical thinking, problem-solving, and creativity. This study will identify the skills that are likely to be most valuable in the future labor market and explore potential strategies for upskilling and reskilling the workforce. In addition, the project will examine the ethical and social implications of AI in the workplace. Issues such as algorithmic bias, data privacy, and job quality will be explored to understand the broader societal impact of AI-driven automation. By considering these ethical dimensions, this research aims to inform policymakers, businesses, and workers about the importance of responsible AI deployment. Overall, this research project seeks to provide a comprehensive analysis of the impact of AI on the future of work. By examining the economic, social, and ethical dimensions of AI adoption, this study aims to contribute to a more informed debate on how to navigate the challenges and opportunities presented by artificial intelligence in the workplace.
