The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming the workplace, raising concerns among workers about job security and the future of manual labor. Popular AI tools, such as chatbots and content generators, are becoming more prevalent due to their efficiency and cost-effectiveness. However, this shift towards automation is leading to significant changes in income distribution, favoring capital over wages.
Manuel Muiz, provost of IE University, highlights the widening divide in the labor market as automation makes certain jobs obsolete. A study indicates that nearly half of Filipinos are now using generative AI in their daily tasks, particularly in tech-related fields. This trend not only threatens job security but also risks eroding the middle class, which could have serious political implications.
