It's an unfortunate truth that technology can wipe out jobs and also force people to retrain for different work, but after a while things tend to settle down and are usually better than before. Having the proper safeguards in place in terms of legislation and regulation is critical, though.

As artificial intelligence continues to advance, its impact on our lives can be a source of anxiety. Will it upend the job market? Will it be used against us in some unforeseen way? While these concerns are not entirely unfounded, they may not be fully justified either, experts say.

I can remember when I was little and hearing my parents talk about the computer industry and that's were all of the jobs were going to be for years to come. The prediction turned out okay careers wise and big industry in IT etc., however the thought of AI taking over human jobs doesn't ring right with me as "this will be okay too". I suppose people will need to retrain in robotics and grow the tech repair industry?
