Artificial Intelligence and Job Automation

Artificial Intelligence and Job Automation

ISLAMABAD – According to a recent report by the International Monetary Fund (IMF), artificial intelligence (AI) is expected to have a significant influence on approximately 40% of professions in Pakistan. IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva voiced worries that the nation’s inequality may grow if artificial intelligence is used unrestrained. She issued a warning, stating that the wealthy and well-educated portions of society will probably gain more from AI.

The innovations of AI based systems in the workplace has been rising concerns of massive job losses and the widening of the economic divides. When the technology was not so highly developed […]

Benefits Of Incorporating AI Into Robotics

Benefits Of Incorporating AI Into Robotics

Nearly three million industrial robots are currently employed in factories all over the world, as reported by the International Federation of Robots (IFR). Understanding Robotics And AI

As more and more sectors come to rely on them, robots are moving from the realm of science fiction and the hyperactive imagination to the mainstream.

Robotics is a subfield of AI that focuses on the design and implementation of autonomous robots and other intelligent machines. Robotics is interdisciplinary since robots are mechanically constructed, include electrical components, and are controlled by computer code. Although robots and AI are aimed at separate problems and […]

Artificial intelligence and robots could take over more and more tasks in the future.Technology may play a greater role in manual labour, office work, the healthcare sector, and possibly transportation.What happens if there are no longer enough jobs for everyone? Researchers working with questions of ethics and technology share their thoughts. Full automation in warehouses Henrik Skaug Sætra believes robotics and artificial intelligence will […]

Bridging the innovation gap: AI and robotics as drivers of China’s urban innovation

Bridging the innovation gap: AI and robotics as drivers of China’s urban innovation

VoxEU Column Productivity and Innovation In recent years, the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics to revolutionise production processes and stimulate innovation has attracted considerable attention (e.g. Presidente and Calì 2022). Despite this, their capacity to address disparities in innovation remains underexplored. In our recent paper (Rodríguez-Pose and You 2024) we delve into the capacity of AI and robotics to not only spearhead technological innovation, but also to trigger innovation in the less developed and less innovative Chinese cities – those places where traditional innovation-boosting policies have often failed. The geographical concentration of innovation

As artificial intelligence (AI) reshapes industry after industry, we will soon witness not just the automation of tasks but also the proliferation of elevated mediocrity—a tidal wave of “good enough” AI-driven outputs that will flood markets with astonishing speed. This relentless pace of disruptive imitation will do more than enhance productivity—it will spawn a cottage industry where constant self-disruption by look-alikes is the norm, and the traditional venture capital model struggles for relevance.

In this brave new world, every revolutionary idea will be instantly met with a legion of fast […]

Human and AI Collaboration is the Future of Work

Human and AI Collaboration is the Future of Work

Rapid advances in artificial intelligence (AI) technology have led to widespread concerns about the future of human employment.

The notion that AI will take away human jobs has become a hot topic of public debate. But is this assumption really true?

There’s no denying that AI has made work significantly easier. Various industries, from manufacturing to finance, have seen major changes in their business processes.The automation of routine tasks and the use of intelligent algorithms have improved operational efficiency and optimized company resources. Effect on Employment From this convenience, a big question arises. Is AI really taking away human jobs? It […]

The AI Revolution: Transforming the Present and Shaping the Future
Visionary thinkers like Alan Turing created the groundwork for contemporary artificial intelligence (AI) with his groundbreaking work in the 1950s, marking the beginning of AI’s journey. Turing’s concept of a machine that could simulate any human intelligence, encapsulated in the Turing Test, ignited a search that continues today. The early days of AI saw the development of simple programs designed to mimic human problem-solving and play games. AI had significant turning points in the next few decades that […]
