The Future of Work: The Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Jobs "--------------------------"
Artificial intelligence (AI) has been transforming industries at an

unprecedented rate, and its impact on the future of work is both

exciting and concerning. In the workplace, AI has already shown its

potential to automate mundane tasks and increase efficiency. For

example, AI can quickly analyze data and generate reports,

allowing employees to focus on more strategic and creative tasks.

26
As a result, businesses can increase productivity and innovation,

which may lead to a more competitive global economy.

However, there are significant challenges. The widespread adoption

of AI could result in job displacement, especially in sectors that

rely heavily on routine, manual labor. According to a recent study,

automation could eliminate millions of jobs in the next few

decades, particularly in industries like manufacturing and retail.

While some argue that AI will create new jobs, these may require

skills that many workers do not currently possess.

To address these issues, experts suggest that workers will need to

adapt by acquiring new skills, especially those related to

technology. Companies and governments are urged to provide

retraining opportunities and promote lifelong learning to help

workers transition into new roles. The future of work will require

27
collaboration between businesses, policymakers, and employees to

ensure that technological progress benefits everyone.

Free-Response Question:

1. In your opinion, what is the primary concern regarding AI’s

impact on the future of work as discussed in the text?

Question 1 (Inference):

The main challenge faced by the villagers is the destruction of their

forest by the logging company.

28
Question 2: Justification (3 Marks)

2. Justify your answer to the previous question using evidence

from the text.

This is the main challenge because the text mentions that the

villagers "relied on the trees for food, shelter, and income." It also

states that "large trucks arrived, and workers began cutting down

the trees at an alarming rate," which caused the villagers to worry

about losing everything. Their decision to write a letter and contact

environmental organizations further shows how serious this

problem is to them.

1. Inference Answer (2 marks):

The primary concern regarding AI’s impact on the future of work is the potential for job displacement,

especially in sectors that rely on routine, manual labor.

2. Justification (3 marks):

The text highlights the concern that AI will eliminate millions of jobs, particularly in industries like

manufacturing and retail. It states, “Automation could eliminate millions of jobs in the next few

decades, particularly in industries like manufacturing and retail.” This clearly shows that job loss due to

AI automation is a significant worry.

SAMPLE‫مثال‬

The Role of Artificial Intelligence in Modern Business

Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming businesses around

the world. It is being used in many industries to improve

37
efficiency and productivity. AI systems can analyze large

amounts of data quickly, which helps businesses make

informed decisions. For example, in retail, AI is used to

predict customer preferences and stock products

accordingly. In healthcare, AI systems help doctors diagnose

diseases by analyzing medical images.

AI is also playing a crucial role in customer service. Many

companies are using AI-powered chatbots to assist

customers. These chatbots can answer common questions,

provide product recommendations, and even process orders,

all without human intervention. This not only improves the

The Rise of Remote Work: A New Era

The COVID-19 pandemic changed the way we

work, with millions of employees shifting to

remote work virtually overnight. What was

initially seen as a temporary solution has now

become a permanent fixture in many

industries. The advantages of remote work,

such as greater flexibility, no daily commute,

44
and the ability to work from anywhere, have

made it increasingly popular among both

employees and employers.

However, remote work also presents

challenges. Many workers struggle with

isolation, lack of face-to-face interaction, and
