Keywords:
artificial intelligence, robotics, global labor market, automation, job displacement, skills development, workforce transformation, economic impact, technological innovation, employment opportunitiesAbstract
This article examines the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics on the global labor market. AI and robotic technologies are rapidly transforming industries by automating routine tasks, enhancing productivity, and creating new employment opportunities in fields such as manufacturing, healthcare, logistics, and information technology. While these innovations offer significant economic and social benefits, they also pose challenges, including job displacement, skills gaps, and inequalities in workforce participation. The study highlights the importance of reskilling and upskilling programs, ethical guidelines, and international cooperation to ensure a fair and inclusive integration of AI and robotics. By responsibly adopting these technologies, societies can promote innovation, economic growth, and sustainable development, while mitigating social and economic risks associated with technological disruption.
