It concludes that AI raises productivity and creates new kinds of jobs but may reduce employment in routine occupations, and argues for digital skills and adapted labor policy. ## Abstract This thesis examines the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on labor markets and employment. It analyzes how AI affects job opportunities, workforce demand, and economic development. The study shows that while AI increases productivity and creates new types of jobs, it may also reduce employment in routine occupations. The research emphasizes the importance of developing digital skills and adapting labor policies to meet the changing requirements of the modern economy. ## About this publication **Preprint.** A preprint — posted publicly before or without journal peer review; findings may still be revised.
