Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
In this explainer, we first focus on Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI), specifically its impact on the future of human employment. We begin by describing what GenAI is. We then review news articles on multinational companies that have started or plan to replace jobs with GenAI, followed by implications for Trust, Identity and social resilience. We add a brief section on the knowledge economy, highlighting how GenAI reshapes knowledge-intensive work differently from prior industrial or agrarian automation. We conclude with governance frameworks, compensation models, and other AI forms (Agentic AI, robots, and human-AI teams.).
