New research from MIT Sloan School of Management reveals that AI is more likely to complement human workers rather than replace them. The study emphasizes the importance of human expertise in areas where technology cannot fully operate. It introduces the EPOCH framework, which evaluates human capabilities and their interaction with AI in the labor market.
The findings indicate a growing demand for human-intensive tasks that require skills like empathy and creativity, which machines struggle to replicate. The research suggests that investing in these human capabilities will enhance productivity and ensure that workers remain relevant in an increasingly automated world. This perspective shifts the narrative from fear of job loss to one of collaboration between humans and AI.
• AI is likely to complement rather than replace human workers.
