This episode examines the future of the human workforce in the face of the robot revolution. While artificial intelligence (AI) and automation promise increased efficiency and new opportunities, they also raise concerns about job displacement. Experts highlight that future careers will rely on human traits such as creativity, critical thinking, and adaptability. To harness the benefits of AI and minimize its risks, society must proactively establish robust ethical guidelines and regulatory measures.
