Abstract
Artificial intelligence (AI) has been ushering in a new wave of innovation. Yet the implementation of AI in the workplace has sparked controversy. Although robots taking over the workplace, or even society, has been a recurring trope since the industrial revolution, it resounds even more profoundly in today’s society. Much like the anxiety that emerged when factory workers’ jobs were being replaced by automation in the 1900s, today individuals' loss of value and economic security has taken center stage. Their anxiety is not without reason. AI has the potential to and has replaced human positions in many fields. However, much like the automation seen in factories, AI does not function without human support or collaboration.
