The impact of AI in the workplace

​Will robots take our jobs? This is not a strange question to ponder in this digital age.

Indeed, the impact of automation and artificial intelligence (AI) on the job market is a topic of much debate and speculation. While it is true that some jobs are likely to be automated, it is unlikely that robots will completely replace all jobs in the future. But what will the impact of AI be on the workplace years from now?

Many technology experts predict that automation and AI will have a significant impact on certain industries, particularly those that involve repetitive tasks or those that can be performed more efficiently by machines. This does not necessary lead to task redundancy as it is also expected that these technologies will create new jobs, particularly in areas such as AI development, data analysis, and cyber security.

The extent to which automation will impact your specific job will depend on the nature of your work and the specific tasks that you perform in the workplace. Some jobs, such as those in healthcare, education, and creative fields, may be less vulnerable to automation, as they require human soft-skills such as empathy, creativity, and problem-solving.

Ultimately, the impact of automation and AI on the job market will likely be complex and dynamic, and it will be important for individuals and organisations to adapt and evolve to stay competitive. This may involve acquiring new technical skills, building on your soft-skills, retraining, and staying informed about developments in technology and the job market in your work industry.
