Today, many people wonder if artificial intelligence can take their jobs. It’s a common question because AI is improving every day. Technology can do many tasks faster than humans. For example, machines in factories use automation to build cars or package food. This increases efficiency and saves a lot of time. However, AI is not perfect. It usually cannot be very creative. Some jobs need human imagination that machines can’t copy. AI might replace some simple jobs, like repetitive tasks. But in other cases, AI helps workers by doing boring tasks so people can focus on more important work. Many experts say that this kind of change can improve job security in the future, as workers will be more valuable in roles that need critical thinking and creativity. In the end, while AI can change how we work, it’s unlikely to completely take over human jobs. (146 words) https://youtube.com/shorts/cAzfF1t5Di0?si=SWC-FiIKfnQCtd7U C) Can AI do parts of your job?
