Job Displacement

What it is

Job displacement refers to AI and automation replacing human workers. As AI handles tasks from writing to coding to design, some jobs may disappear or change significantly. The extent and speed of displacement is debated, but the concern is real.

Why it matters

AI's impact on work affects everyone. Some roles will be augmented, others replaced, and new ones created. Understanding potential displacement helps with career planning and informs policy debates about education, social safety nets, and managing technological transition.
