This thesis critically examines the future of employment in the light of the accelerating development of artificial intelligence technologies. Artificial intelligence is one of the most important technological developments today. Modern technology is increasingly connected to it, and the growth of smart technology is simplifying many aspects of our lives. However, the pace of its development raises concerns about the potential disruption and transformation of traditional employment environments. The aim of this thesis is to explore the implications of the widespread adoption of AI on the workforce, including shifts in knowledge and skills requirements and the need for continuous learning and upskilling. Through a review of existing literature and an empirical appendix, this thesis examines the historical context of technological developments and their impact on the future of employment. It also illustrates the socio-economic implications of AI and the challenges it poses, such as job polarisation, income inequality and the need for initiatives to reskill employees.
