The Dual Impact of AI: Job Losses and New Opportunities

The widespread adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) is expected to bring significant changes to the workforce, potentially displacing lower-skilled white-collar office workers. A recent survey found that mid-level office professionals are already using AI in some form but lack a firm understanding of the technology. Experts predict that while AI may initially supplement existing workers, it will eventually lead to job losses. However, there are also opportunities for workers to master AI tools and take advantage of new roles that emerge. The integration of AI into the workplace will require additional skills in logic and math, and there will be a need for prompt engineers who can effectively harness AI for specific purposes.
