Yapay Zeka ve Otomasyon : İş Gücü Piyasasının Yeniden Şekillendirilmesi

Öz

Yapay zekâ ve otomasyon teknolojilerinin hızla ilerlemesi, dünya çapında işgücü piyasalarını dönüştürmekte ve bu durum olumlu veya olumsuz görüşlere sebep olmaktadır.. Bu çalışma, yapay zekâ ve otomasyonun işgücü piyasası üzerindeki ekonomik etkilerini eleştirel bir şekilde analiz etmeyi ve yapay zekanın geleneksel istihdam yapılarını bozma, üretkenliği etkileme ve ekonomik eşitsizliği şiddetlendirme potansiyeline odaklanmayı amaçlamaktadır.. Çalışmada teknolojik ilerlemenin yaratabileceği tahribatın tarihsel örnekleri incelenecek,, bu teknolojik devrimlerin iktisadi gelişmeye mi yoksa eşitsizliğe mi hizmet ettiği değerlendirilecektir.. Yapay zeka odaklı dönüşümlerin sunduğu zorluklar ve fırsatlar hakkında kapsamlı bir anlayış sağlamak, bu geçişi yönetmek, kapsayıcı büyümeyi sağlamak ve yapay zeka çağının talepleri için donanımlı bir işgücü yetiştirmek için uygulanabilir politika önerileri sunmak diğer amaçlar olarak öne çıkmaktadır.

AI AND AUTOMATION: RESHAPING THE LABOR MARKET

Öz

The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) and automation technologies is transforming labor markets around the globe, prompting both optimism and concern. This article seeks to critically analyze the economic implications of AI and automation on the labor market, focusing on their potential to disrupt traditional employment structures, influence productivity, and either exacerbate or alleviate economic inequality. By examining historical precedents of technological disruptions alongside contemporary data, this study aims to assess whether these technologies serve as a means of economic empowerment or as a catalyst for inequality. The primary objective is to provide a comprehensive understanding of the challenges and opportunities presented by AI-driven transformations, along with actionable policy recommendations for managing this transition, ensuring inclusive growth, and cultivating a workforce equipped for the demands of the AI era.
