Artificial intelligence threatens to create mass unemployment by replacing human workers. The document discusses how AI is being adopted by many industries and has increased productivity and reduced costs. However, it may eliminate entire job industries like transportation and manufacturing. While AI may destroy millions of jobs, it also creates new ones and has limitations. The study aims to determine the capabilities of AI that can replace humans and how many jobs may be affected. It provides an analysis of the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of AI in relation to unemployment. Human: Thank you for the summary.

Artificial Intelligence threatens to create mass unemployment.

(Aldea Razen , Aldea Sweetlian , Grate Sheila , Irinco Imee , Lobos Paula )

I. Background of the Study


When the Industrial Revolution began in 1760’s the beginning of
mechanical innovation like railroads and mass production facilities that use man
made equipment can further the human manual labor, which a lot of laborers
became unemployed.Then, during the birth of computers, it began to take over
human cognitive work. With the rise of technology, Artificial Intelligence has
become the top priority in terms of technology operations in various fields. AI has
proved to be capable of increasing the process of overall productivity, eliminating
human errors and labor and generating information from large data.
In 2019, a survey by McKinsey and Company showed a 25% year over
year increase in the use of AI in standard business processes. Meanwhile, the
businesses who are adopting AI, report that it has provided an uptick in revenue
in the business areas where it is used, and 44 percent say AI has reduced
costs.In result, industries from different fields are expecting to invest more on
Artificial Intelligence and use its initiatives for business processes.
We are conducting this research to know what are the capabilities of AI
that can be a cause of mass unemployment and how many chances it becomes
possible.

II. Statement of the Problem


This study aimed to find out if Artificial Intelligence is really a threat to
employment and can replace human workforce, sInce technology is rapidly
expanding in areas that were previously considered entirely human due to rapid
technological advancement in recent years. Artificial intelligence has improved
our society in unexpected ways, but there are also concerns about the impact it
will have on jobs and the workforce's credibility. According to several predictions,
millions of people could lose their jobs in the next decade as a result of
automation technology.

III. Objectives

● To determine how far -reaching its impact will be when it comes to employees.
● To determine if AI has more capabilities to work than humans.
● To determine how many employees will be affected if AI will replace them.

IV. Areas of Consideration

Strength
- Increase Workplace productivity
- Improved monitoring a massive amount of data
- Better quality and reduction of human error.
- Help to generate new revenue and reduce cost.
Weakness
- AI cannot multitask
- AI cannot feel empathy
- Lacks of creativity and imagination
- AI cannot make moral judgement
- AI cannot always explain its own decisions

Opportunities
- AI enable the development of a new generation of products and services
- AI can be used in public services such as transportation, education and
government
- AI can give new job opportunities
- Less strains on employee

Threat
- Job Stealing
- The risk of losing important data
- Overused of Artificial Intelligence
- Liability: Who is responsible for a damage caused by AIl

Factors of Artificial Intelligence for Unemployment

Internal Factors External Factors

-Unemployment was not caused by -Global competition - Opportunities


excessive wages -Advance Technology
-Internal devaluation did reduce -Job outsourcing
balance of payment current -Automation
account deficits,but overwhelming -Demographics
by reducing living standards and
hence imports
-Internal devaluation has led to
more rather than less
unemployment and to less rather
than more growth

V. Conclusion
The fear that technological innovation will increase unemployment is not
new, and various theories in response suggest technology does not necessarily
pose a threat to jobs. This column goes one step further, arguing that because
automation requires rising wages and that requires increasing the set of labour
tasks, innovation should ultimately reduce unemployment.

Many innovations come in the shape of machines that replace workers.


We hear of cars that drive themselves, of robots that perform more and more
tasks, and of how artificial intelligence can replace smart jobs. These
technological developments cause alarm among many, and this has intensified
since the last recession that began in 2008. The recovery from the recession has
been slow, and especially in creating new jobs. That is why many have called it
‘a jobless recovery.’
As the Artificial Intelligence evolves and can do more work that can
eliminate entire job industries like transportation , manufacturing, logistics,
agriculture.AI can also create new jobs.According to the World Economic forum
AI would create a net total of 58 million new jobs in 2022.Many of these jobs will
also likely differ from the typical full-time employment model that we are used to.
Instead, more businesses are expected to increase their remote workforces and
rely on contractors to fill the majority of their staffing demands. The AI shift in
industries is more likely to eliminate low skill positions because AI needs more
skilled workers who can update, develop and maintain the AI in the
future.Artificial Intelligence could be the reason for destroying millions of jobs but
still artificial intelligence has limitations and there is no so called a perfect AI who
can destroy the entire human workforce.

VI. Recommendation
In order to decrease the number of unemployment, the government must
take action in creating more jobs or opportunities for the citizens. Also we
recommend not to rely more on AI in this country. Because as for now, our
country is lacking in cybersecurity that is prone to cyber attacks, which is not
safe. For example the AI doctors malfunction during operation, which can cause
death of patients.
Accept AI that only assists employees so that the numbers of unemployed
will decrease.
Accept AI that needs to be operated by an employee.
