Abstract
This study conducts a comprehensive analysis of the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on job security through a comparative examination of job displacement and creation across various industries. As AI technologies continue to advance, concerns about their potential to disrupt traditional employment structures have become increasingly prominent. This research aims to provide a nuanced understanding of the dynamics at play. Through a systematic review of literature, statistical data, and case studies, the study explores how AI adoption has influenced job security in diverse sectors. By comparing industries, the research identifies patterns of job displacement and creation, shedding light on the nuanced consequences of AI integration. Notably, the study considers both the short-term disruptions and long-term implications for the labor market. The findings reveal that while certain industries experience job displacement due to automation, others witness the emergence of new roles and opportunities. The comparative analysis highlights the varying degrees of AI impact across sectors, emphasizing the need for industry-specific approaches to address workforce challenges. Additionally, the study examines the role of skill development and retraining programmes in mitigating the negative effects of AI on job security. Furthermore, the research assesses the socio-economic implications of these changes, considering factors such as income inequality and the overall stability of the job market. Through this holistic approach, the study contributes to a more nuanced understanding of the multifaceted relationship between AI and job security. In conclusion, this comparative analysis provides valuable insights into the complex interplay of AI technologies and job dynamics across industries. By addressing concerns related to both displacement and creation of jobs, the research contributes to informed policymaking and strategic planning to navigate the evolving landscape of work in the era of Artificial Intelligence.
