A future without employment due to Artificial Intelligence, this is how ChatGPT raises the issue

It is true that the invention of the car left many people unemployed, and that computer calculations left thousands of people at home, and that the Internet ended hundreds of jobs in the 20th century… but Artificial Intelligence should not be underestimated.

The fact that it is capable of creating text, images and even 3D objects makes it a powerful tool, but if it continues to evolve so fast, humanity may not be able to react fast enough to create new jobs as it grows. they lose.

I have talked about the issue with ChatGPT itself, and this has been the […]

Sarbojit Mallick

The landscape of the job market is in a state of flux and there is a growing polarization in highly skilled and low-skilled talent. However, a recent series of massive layoffs has created incredible opportunities for companies that lacked growth due to the scarcity of tech talent. Old school corporates and enterprises struggled to digitize their business, but now they have expedited their growth journey with access to the best talent.

With the unexpected second wave of layoffs, labor markets are under a huge strain. In fact, over 18,000 jobs were terminated by various Indian companies in 2022, […]

National Commentary

By Paul Krugman of The New York Times

Will robots take away our jobs?People have been asking that question for an astonishingly long time. Regency-era British economist David Ricardo added to the third edition of his classic “Principles of Political Economy,” published in 1821, a chapter titled “On Machinery,” in which he tried to show how the technologies of the early Industrial Revolution could, at least initially, hurt workers. Kurt Vonnegut’s 1952 novel “Player Piano” envisaged a near-future America in which automation has eliminated most employment.At the level of the economy as a whole, the verdict is clear: […]

Top 6 Jobs That Are Dying in the Next 20 Years

Keep your career future-proof by finding out which jobs will no longer be relevant in the future.

In 1979 , the British new wave band, The Buggles, released their song: “The video killed the radio star”. That one line explains exactly what happens when new technologies are created. We went from print media to the radio, from the radio to television and then from television to the internet, and as technology progresses further, old tech is almost always abandoned as a shiny new invention takes its place.

What we might not realize is that, with every piece of technology killed […]

Inflation Fizzles: Three Supply Chain Trends That Will Ease Cost Pressure

Last month’s relatively docile CPI numbers look set to finally allow the Fed to enjoy some holiday cheer. Annualized US inflation dropped to 7.1% amid somewhat lower energy costs. The war in Ukraine is still on, and yet, prices at the pump are down, and house prices are falling under the weight of higher mortgage rates. So, are we all good?

Maybe not so fast. The Employment Cost Index is now at 5% annualized and the Atlanta Fed’s wages tracker shows a 6.5% hourly labor cost increase. Press surrounding workforce dropouts , unionization drives, and stubbornly low unemployment suggest rising […]

The problem of work: Why the business model of capitalism is alienating American workers today

The problem of work: Why the business model of capitalism is alienating American workers today

First it was the “Great Resignation.” Then it was “nobody wants to work anymore.” Now it is “quiet quitting.”

Yet it seems like no one wants to talk about what I see as the root cause of America’s economic malaise – work under contemporary capitalism is fundamentally flawed.

As a political philosopher studying the effects of contemporary capitalism on the future of work, I believe that the inability to dictate and meaningfully control one’s own working life is the problem. Democratizing work is the solution. The problem of work What can be said about the malaise surrounding work under capitalism today? […]

Turning ‘information overload’ into an information advantage

Manish Dangwal

As a young nation, India is accelerating quickly on the digital highway. The acceptance of switching everyday activities to digital channels can be seen from the mere fact that India accounts for the largest number of real-time payment transactions in the world – 48 billion in 2021, three times its nearest challenger, China – a result of the growing acceptance of UPI-based mobile payment apps and QR code payments among merchants and the increase in digital payments made during the pandemic.
