Although artificial intelligence is helping solve many problems in today's world, it is also the reason many people around the world are losing their jobs. AI has the ability to replace or reduce many jobs now and in the future due to the rapidity of its growth. Types of jobs that could be harmed include white collar professions, unlike the blue collar careers that were reduced due to previous technological advancements. The advances in AI have mostly targeted jobs relating to digital art, content creation, and programming, meaning that these careers are most likely to see a reduction due to the growing use of AI. This article aims to review how AI has evolved throughout the years and the consequences it has on the economy as a whole. By taking a look at how AI replaces jobs, we can provide insight on how we can prepare for an increase in the use of AI.
