AI and the Future of Work

  40 minutes
  SPEECH

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming the workplace, redefining jobs, and shaping the future of industries. From automating repetitive tasks to enhancing decision-making and creativity, AI is creating new opportunities while also raising challenges around job displacement, reskilling, and ethical considerations.

As AI-driven tools become more integrated into businesses, the demand for digital skills is increasing. Workers must adapt by developing AI literacy, problem-solving abilities, and adaptability to stay relevant. While AI will replace some tasks, it will also create new roles that require human-AI collaboration.

The future of work is not about AI replacing humans but about leveraging AI to enhance productivity, innovation, and inclusivity in the workplace. Embracing AI-driven transformation will be key to staying competitive in the evolving job market.
