Question #N505
A group of researchers studying the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on the workplace found that while AI has made some jobs obsolete, it has also created new roles and increased opportunities for workers in other fields. As AI continues to evolve and expand, it’s important that companies consider the ethical implications of these new technologies, ensuring that workers benefit from their use.
