DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION AND JOB DISPLACEMENT IN MODERN ECONOMIES

This study examines the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on job displacement in modern economies. Rapid advancements in AI technologies are transforming industries by automating routine and even complex tasks, leading to significant changes in labor market structures. While AI enhances productivity, efficiency, and economic growth, it also raises concerns about unemployment, skill mismatches, and income inequality. The research explores how automation driven by AI affects different sectors, particularly manufacturing, services, and administrative jobs. It highlights that low-skilled and repetitive occupations are more vulnerable to displacement, whereas high-skilled jobs tend to evolve rather than disappear. Furthermore, the paper discusses the emergence of new job opportunities created by AI, including roles in data analysis, machine learning, and digital systems management.
