The Future of Work in the Age of Artificial Intelligence
Published
According to a report by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), automation based on artificial intelligence, meaning self-operating systems, is rapidly changing the way work is done around the world. The report states that the effects of this change will not be uniform for everyone.
According to the report, low-skilled and blue-collar workers may be the most affected by this change. Blue-collar workers are those who work in factories, construction sites, or sectors involving manual labour. As machines and computer systems begin to perform these tasks more quickly, pressure on their jobs may increase.
The report specifically mentions individuals from low-income backgrounds. The effects of this change on these individuals are expected to be greater. Therefore, experts believe it is essential to understand what steps can be taken to teach workers new skills and prepare them for changing employment opportunities.
This topic is also important for readers in Pakistan, because a large number of people in the country are associated with manual and labour-intensive sectors. With the growing use of artificial intelligence, further changes in the nature of employment are expected in the coming years.
