In recent years, with the rapid advance of artificial intelligence, the way companies carry out their work has been changing dramatically.
Tasks such as drafting documents and analyzing data have already been automated by AI in many workplaces, allowing people to concentrate on more creative work.
At the same time, there is no shortage of concern about the impact on employment.
In jobs centered on routine clerical work, staff cuts are expected to continue, leaving workers with little choice but to learn new skills.
That said, AI will not take away every human job.
Just as with past waves of innovation, there is every possibility that entirely new occupations will emerge.
In fact, demand for people involved in developing and operating AI-based services is said to be rising year after year.
What matters is probably not standing still out of fear of change, but each of us thinking about how to coexist with technology.
Governments and companies are strongly urged to put in place systems that support workers in retraining.
