Artificial intelligence (AI) has rapidly evolved from theoretical models to real-world applications that impact every sector of the global economy. While AI promises increased efficiency, productivity, and innovation, it also brings significant disruption to traditional labor markets. The transition from industrial automation to AI-driven decision-making has accelerated job displacement across both blue-collar and white-collar industries. This chapter explores the historical context of job displacement due to AI, the sectors most at risk, and potential strategies for mitigating the economic and social consequences of this transformation.
