Artificial Intelligence and the New World of Work

by Laetus O.K. Lategan

About this book

Change occurs at the speed of technological devices.

It is undeniable that artificial intelligence (AI) will continue to shape the workplace, leading to a new world of work. While industries, whether small or large, local or international, face challenges due to technological advancements, a central question remains: What should the role of humans be in this “new” world of work? Furthermore, what should the relationship between humans and technology look like?

This book, which includes various perspectives, thought pieces, twelve chapters, and directives authored by 30 national and international contributors from universities and societies, explores the impact of AI on the world of work through three distinct lenses:

Foundational Lens: This section examines the evolving landscape of the modern workforce, highlighting the transformative shifts that are reshaping our understanding of work itself and showcasing how generative AI and emerging technologies affect the workplace.

Strategic Lens: This part emphasises the essential role of education in equipping students with the skills and knowledge necessary to thrive in this new era of work, preparing them to meet the demands of a constantly changing job market.

Operational Lens: This division provides deeper insights into various industries, analysing how they are affected by the dynamics of AI in the workplace.
