Where Do We Stand and a Look into the Future
摘要
In this chapter, we address some issues related to the impact that AI is having on our society. Like previous revolutions—agricultural, industrial, and digital—the AI revolution is having and will continue to have a transformative impact on the labor market. Many professions, particularly those that are physically demanding or characterized by repetitive, routine tasks, will disappear. At the same time, new professions will emerge, and almost all others will undergo profound transformations due to AI’s integration into decision-making and production processes. As in the past, we will witness a pervasive shift towards an increasingly automated world, where technological support will be present at every stage, from execution to management. This change will affect both manual and intellectual labor, such as in manufacturing, administration, and customer service, where automation and chatbots are progressively reducing the need for human intervention.
