2 Emphasize how technology often disrupts jobs before creating new ones.
3. AI’s Role in Today’s Workplaces
1 Productivity boosters: automation of repetitive tasks, data analysis, chatbots.
2 AI as a collaborator: Copilot tools for coding, writing, design.
3 Global examples (factories, healthcare, education, customer service).
4. The Threat of Job Replacement

3 Balancing innovation with fairness.
Conclusion
1 Reinforce that AI is both a disruptor and an enabler.
