This article examines the growing role of artificial intelligence as a potential driver of technological unemployment and dehumanization of the labor market. It explores how AI systems are gradually replacing human work in various industries and how this could impact workers in the future. It also discusses ethical issues related to the lack of transparency in complex algorithms such as "black box" algorithms and the need for accountability of AI developers. It raises the importance of maximizing the benefits of AI for society while minimizing potential negative consequences such as uneven job redistribution. It proposes ensuring human agency and democratic participation in decision-making about the development and use of AI. Finally, it concludes that regulatory frameworks and robust institutions are required to properly manage the transition to a more automated and technologized economy.
