In this ever-changing world of technology, artificial intelligence is bound to have an impact on business, whether it be positive or negative. Artificial intelligence (AI) is the ability of a digital computer or computer-controlled robot to perform tasks commonly associated with intelligent beings.

There has been increasing discussion over the potential threats AI will pose on today's workers, and how it will shift the entire dynamic of the workplace in general. "If machines do get smarter than humans, there could be a loss of control that can be a detriment."-Muhammed Othman.

With AI's evolving abilities on the rise, there is question about where to draw the line on allowing these technologies to essentially take over jobs that have historically been performed by humans. There is no doubt that these advanced technologies have improved the efficiency on certain redundant tasks and have increased performance. However, the job market will surely be affected, with the service industry predicted to lose a significant number of jobs to AI.

When machine intelligence exceeds our ability to understand it, we should be cautious. It is important that we do not allow these systems to become so advanced that they act in ways that will make people unnecessary for certain tasks. If AI ability continues to accelerate at this rate, and machines increasingly replace human workers, it doesn't necessarily mean humans will become redundant. In fact, some individuals believe it may even strengthen the economy. "AI encourages a gradual evolution in the job market which, with the right preparation, will be positive." - Matthew Lieberman. .

Artificial intelligence is already well on its way to becoming the new normal. While it will bring along changes to our places of work - both negative and positive - it is important that we learn how to adapt to it and make it an asset in the workplace.
