AI is everywhere, but does it automatically put your job at risk?
In this episode of What the Euro?!, our host Catherine speaks to Laura – ECB economist specialising in AI and the labour market – to separate fact from fiction. They discuss how widespread AI use is, what factors lead to job losses or job creation and who stands to benefit the most in the new world of work.
The views expressed are those of the speakers and not necessarily those of the European Central Bank.
