Will AI Take or Make Jobs?

As artificial intelligence advances at an unprecedented pace, concerns about job displacement continue to grow. Will AI replace human workers, rendering certain roles obsolete, or will it create new opportunities and industries we have yet to imagine? In this talk, we’ll explore both sides of the debate, examining how AI is automating tasks, augmenting human capabilities, and reshaping the labor market. Most importantly, what skills will be essential in an AI-driven future? Attendees will gain insights into how we can adapt to ensure that AI becomes a tool for job creation rather than a force of disruption.
