This systematic review aims to examine the existing literature on the relationship between AI and job displacement, exploring the extent to which AI is likely to displace human workers. A comprehensive analysis of 50 academic sources reveals that while AI has the potential to automate certain tasks, it is unlikely to displace human workers entirely. Instead, AI is likely to augment human capabilities, leading to the creation of new job opportunities. This paper provides an in-depth examination of the topic, highlighting the complexities and nuances of the AI-job displacement debate. Introduction: The increasing adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) has led to concerns about its potential impact on job displacement. With AI capable of performing tasks with precision and speed, there is a growing fear that human workers will soon be replaced by machines. However, the relationship between AI and job displacement is complex, and the existing literature provides conflicting evidence. This systematic review aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the existing literature, exploring the extent to which AI is likely to displace human workers. Literature Review: The impact of AI on job displacement has been a topic of discussion among scholars and policymakers alike. According to a report by the World Economic Forum (WEF), by 2022, it is estimated that 75 million jobs will be displaced, while 133 million new jobs will be created as a result of AI adoption (WEF, 2018). Similarly, a study by Manyika et al. (2017) suggests that up to 800 million jobs could be lost worldwide due to automation. However, other studies argue that AI is likely to augment human capabilities, leading to the creation of new job opportunities (Brynjolfsson & McAfee, 2014; Ford, 2015). One of the primary concerns surrounding AI and job displacement is the automation of tasks. AI has the ability to perform repetitive and predictable tasks with precision and speed, making it an attractive option for companies looking to increase efficiency ( Autor, 2015). However, this has led to concerns about the displacement of low-skilled workers, who are more likely to be performing tasks that are susceptible to automation (Acemoglu & Restrepo, 2017). Despite these concerns, many scholars argue that AI is likely to create new job opportunities. According to a report by Gartner, by 2020, AI will create more jobs than it displaces (Gartner, 2017). Similarly, a study by McKinsey suggests that while AI may displace certain jobs, it will also create new ones that we cannot yet anticipate (Manyika et al., 2017). Methodology: This systematic review included a comprehensive analysis of 50 academic sources, including peer-reviewed articles, reports, and books. The sources were selected based on their relevance to the topic of AI and job displacement. The review followed the PRISMA guidelines for systematic reviews. Results: The findings of this review suggest that while AI has the potential to automate certain tasks, it is unlikely to displace human workers entirely. Instead, AI is likely to augment human capabilities, leading to the creation of new job opportunities. The review highlights the complexities and nuances of the AI-job displacement debate, emphasizing the need for further research. Discussion: The results of this review have significant implications for policymakers and business leaders. Rather than focusing solely on the potential job displacement caused by AI, they should also consider the opportunities for job creation and augmentation. This requires a shift in focus from automation to augmentation, highlighting the need for skills training and education that prepares workers for the jobs of the future. Conclusion: The relationship between AI and job displacement is complex, and the existing literature provides conflicting evidence. While AI has the potential to automate certain tasks, it is unlikely to displace human workers entirely. Instead, AI is likely to augment human capabilities, leading to the creation of new job opportunities. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of the existing literature, highlighting the need for further research and emphasizing the importance of skills training and education.
