Will technology, and specifically artificial intelligence (AI), destroy our careers? Indeed, the possibility of jobs being overtaken by machines has been a regular theme across media headlines. I want to pose a different question, however – what if AI will instead improve our career prospects?

The world’s embrace of artificial intelligence has influenced many aspects of our lives. Across a wide swath of sectors, artificial intelligence is fast becoming a mainstay tech, so it’s no surprise that there could be an impact to businesses when it comes to hiring.

It has now become common hearing people talking about how artificial intelligence (AI) will change various aspects and industries in every country on the planet. There are growing fears that this technology will eliminate many jobs and professions through automation of tasks. Many reports have shown the truth behind job automation especially for certain professions and demographics. For example, a report by Brookings Institution noted that automation threatens more than 25% of jobs in the US, most done by low-wage earners where tasks are repetitive and routine-based.
