Consider the following excerpts from two authors discussing the implications of artificial intelligence (AI) on future employment.
Author X: In my view, the rise of artificial intelligence poses a significant threat to conventional job designs. Many roles that require repetitive tasks are at risk of being automated, leading to job displacement without adequate support for retraining. Furthermore, the economy may increasingly favor high-skill employment, creating a divide between those who can adapt and those who cannot.
Author Y: While concern over AI replacing jobs is certainly valid, it is important to recognize the potential for new job creation. Historical trends show that technological advancements often generate roles we cannot currently predict. Rather than fearing automation, we should focus on embracing it and preparing the workforce for changes in job requirements, emphasizing adaptability and lifelong learning.
