This article explores the dynamic development of artificial intelligence (AI) in various aspects of social and economic life. It analyzes how AI implementation is transforming the labor market, considering its rapid growth within contemporary society while addressing both its benefits and concerns related to job displacement. The study employs an integrated research approach, combining descriptive, comparative, and analytical analysis to ensure an in-depth understanding of AI’s role. Desk research was also conducted to analyze existing data and literature, and inductive reasoning was applied to draw general conclusions. The article forecasts the automation of certain professions while also highlighting the creation of new job opportunities, identifying sectors most and least susceptible to automation. AI is expected to continue its dynamic expansion, offering new possibilities across various fields. The study contributes to the discourse on AI’s role in the labor market, encouraging reflection on its long-term impact. It emphasizes the necessity of an ethical approach to AI development and the establishment of appropriate legal and ethical frameworks. Furthermore, it underscores that managing labor market transformations and addressing ethical dilemmas related to AI remains a challenge. The article highlights the need for AI-driven innovations and the importance of analyzing the potential effects of automation on different labor market sectors
