The Impact of AI on Public Sector Employment: Opportunities and Threats

Abstract

This article explores the transformative impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on employment in the public sector. It discusses both the opportunities for efficiency and innovation as well as potential threats to job security and workforce dynamics. Focusing on examples from North America and Europe, the study maps the current trends and predicts future impacts. The findings suggest that while AI can enhance service delivery, proactive measures are required to manage workforce transitions. Policymakers are encouraged to develop adaptive strategies to integrate AI while mitigating adverse effects.
