AI And The Economy - How Technology Is Redefining Employment And Income Distribution (original) (raw)

Artificial intelligence, employment, and income

Human Systems Management

Artificial intelligence (AI) will have many profound societal effects It promises potential benefits (and may also pose risks) in education, defense, business, law, and science In this article we explore how AI is likely to affect employment and the distribution of income. We argue that AI will indeed reduce drastically the need fol human toil We also note that some people fear the automation of work hy machines and the resulting unemployment Yet, since the majority of us probably would rather use our time for activities other than our present jobs, we ought thus to greet the work-eliminating consequences of AI enthusiastically The paper discusses two reasons, one economic and one psychological, for this paradoxical apprehension We conclude with a discussion of problems of moving toward the kind of economy that will he enahled by developments in AI ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE [Al] and other developments in computer science are giving birth to a dramatically different class of machinesPmachines that can perform tasks requiring reasoning, judgment, and perception that previously could be done only by humans. Will these I am grateful for the helpful comments provided by many people Specifically I would like to acknowledge the advice teceived from Sandra Cook and Victor

THE GREAT DEBATE - CAN AI AND AUTOMATION LEAD TO MORE OR FEWER JOBS?

XIX international scientific conference. London. Great Britain.

Most discussions surrounding artificial intelligence and automation pivot around a fundamental question: do these advancements create a landscape ripe with new opportunities, or do they spell doom for traditional employment? In an era where machines increasingly augment or replace human tasks, we must scrutinize the intricate balance between innovation and workforce displacement. This exploration researchs into varied perspectives on how these technological revolutions could reshape jobs, economies, and our very understanding of work as we know it.

Economics of Artificial Intelligence: Implications for the Future of Work

IZA Journal of Labor Policy

The current wave of technological change based on advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) has created widespread fear of job loss and further rises in inequality. This paper discusses the rationale for these fears, highlighting the specific nature of AI and comparing previous waves of automation and robotization with the current advancements made possible by a widespread adoption of AI. It argues that large opportunities in terms of increases in productivity can ensue, including for developing countries, given the vastly reduced costs of capital that some applications have demonstrated and the potential for productivity increases, especially among the low skilled. At the same time, risks in the form of further increases in inequality need to be addressed if the benefits from AI-based technological progress are to be broadly shared. For this, skills policies are necessary but not sufficient. In addition, new forms of regulating the digital economy are called for that prevent fur...

The study aims to provide insights into the future of work in the AI era and to inform policy decisions that can ensure a fair and equitable transition for workers and businesses.

Dissecting the Paradox of Progress: The Socioeconomic Implications of Artificial Intelligence

iNTECHoPEN, 2024

The rapid ascent of artificial intelligence (AI) and other general-purpose technologies has marked the advent of the fourth industrial revolution, triggering substantial transformations in business practices and productivity potential. While these emerging technologies offer numerous benefits, they also present a range of threats, concerns, and challenges. This chapter aims to investigate the dark side of the fourth industrial revolution, based on the available literature. One major concern revolves around employment, encompassing the potential rise in unemployment rates and the emergence of structural unemployment. The set of skills needed for the changing nature of work is significantly different, thus there is a need for rapid reskilling and deskilling to ensure the future employability of the existing workforce. Furthermore, high dependence on machines might lead to major ethical concerns, including, but not limited to, breaches of privacy and discrimination. More so, high unemployment might lead to further social and income inequalities, relegating many to the lower class and decreasing their purchasing power, while placing few in the upper class.

The Impact of AI on Future Employment Patterns

2024

The advent of artificial intelligence (AI) has marked a pivotal shift in the employment landscape, heralding a new era where the interplay between humans and machines is redefining job roles, skills, and employment patterns. This paper explores the multifaceted impact of AI on future employment patterns, elucidating both the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead. As AI technologies evolve, their integration into various industries is expected to automate routine tasks, engendering efficiency but also displacing certain job categories. Concurrently, this technological revolution is poised to create novel job roles centered on AI management, development, and ethical governance. By examining current trends and projecting future developments, this paper aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the changing employment paradigms, emphasizing the importance of adaptive skill sets and policy frameworks that can accommodate the dynamic nature of AIdriven economies.
