Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Employment: A Systematic Review

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is changing the way people work across the world. It is creating new opportunities while also raising serious challenges for workers and employers. This review examines existing research to understand how AI affects employment in different industries and regions. The findings show that AI and automation can replace some routine and manual jobs. At the same time, AI is helping to create new types of jobs and improve many existing roles by increasing productivity and supporting decision-making. Because of these changes, workers need new skills, and continuous learning and reskilling are essential to remain employable in the evolving job market. The review also discusses the wider social and economic effects of AI, such as its impact on income inequality, job quality, and worker well-being. If not managed carefully, AI adoption may increase inequality and reduce job security for vulnerable workers.
