Automation brings benefits like faster turnaround times, lower error rates, reduced costs, and new opportunities in emerging sectors.
However, millions of jobs are at risk of automation by 2030, leading to psychological impacts, economic inequality, and social disruption.
The focus should shift from job security to skill security, emphasizing lifelong learning, upskilling, and prioritizing human capabilities like creativity and empathy.
The ethical dilemma lies in balancing efficiency gains from automation with societal well-being, ensuring technology uplifts humanity without leaving people behind.
