Artificial Intelligence (AI) is changing the way we live our lives in a profound way. After watching In the Age of AI, I was very interested by how rapid AI has advanced technology that could shape our world. The documentary highlights how these developments could transform society from daily convinces to large scale changes in employment. 

One takeaway that has an impact on AI on jobs. Automation is replacing roles that were essential before. For example, self checkout have reduced the need for cashiers, and in factories, robots are now organizing items for packaging, Tasks that most people did are increasingly being automated which leads to disappearance of many jobs from the economy. 

Automation is concerning because it could lead to loss in widespread jobs across almost every field that you could possibly think of. The Brookings Institution has reported that “Indeed, the new automation will eliminate millions of jobs for vehicle drivers and retail workers, as well as those for health care workers, lawyers, accountants, finance specialists, and many other professionals” (Holzer, Understanding the Impact of Automation on Workers, Jobs, and Wages, 2022). This shift could pose a major societal challenge, as automation is likely to impact every job sector to some degree although some will be impact more than other industries. 

The benefits of automation help businesses to reduce costs, it's important these changes do not affect society by leaving large numbers of people without work. Self-checkouts have saved department stores substantial money, but they also raise difficult questions about balancing business growth with economic stability and job security. 

AI has also raised serious concerns around online security and privacy. With automation, it becomes easier to gather and analyze a big amount of personal information quickly, which lead to issues like identity theft. This is very important for both your own privacy as well as cybersecurity. 

AI has a massive impact on society. It offers the potential to save businesses money and improve data processing. This is crucial so that we understand how AI works and how it affects our lives. Being able to inform these changes help us navigate the benefits and challenges AI brings such as making thoughtful decisions about their role in our future.
