It closes on AI governance, especially the tension between openness, concentration of power and inequality in AI research and development. ## Abstract
Artificial intelligence is transforming two of the most foundational pillars of modern society: the labor market and the education. This review explores the impact of AI across both domains, highlights the structural dynamics they share, and outlines implications for policy, governance, and educational reform. It first situates AI within the broader trajectory of scientific and technological revolutions. It then examines its effects on the labor market, followed by its influence on higher education. A comparative analysis is subsequently developed to identify common patterns and divergences between these two spheres in the age of AI. Building on this, the review proposes directions for a renewed teaching paradigm, before extending the discussion beyond academia to consider the interplay between AI, labor markets, and the limits of education. It concludes by addressing a key dimension of AI governance; namely, the tension between openness, concentration of power, and inequality in AI research and development.
