AI Fears: Replacing Human Jobs
Since the emergence of AI, one of the top fears apart from massive data and information access is that technology will replace humans in their jobs, especially in this digital world.
However, several studies have claimed that it is unlikely to do so, with the United Nations' International Labour Organization (ILO) saying that it would focus on making tasks easier rather than being the reason for losing employment.
The fear of getting laid off and being told that AI is replacing their role in the company is still a thought that some cannot get out of their heads, especially as it is a massive industry now, with iconic improvements arriving each day.

This new report shows a development behind Google's plans to replace its human workforce with AI, focusing on its sales and ads divisions where the take-over will happen, with the employees either reassigned or terminated as new tools arrive.
