Labour market evolution in the age of artificial intelligence

Abstract

The article explores the transformative role of automation and artificial intelligence in reshaping the labour market. It analyses task substitution, job displacement, and the emergence of hybrid professions. Based on recent studies, it also examines labour polarization, national-level challenges such as in Slovakia, and the disruptive potential of generative AI, including ChatGPT. The paper concludes that future adaptation requires proactive education, policy reform, and emphasis on human–AI complementarity.
