The impact of the introduction of artificial intelligence on the structure and quality of human capital in the digital economy
This article examines the impact of the introduction of artificial intelligence on the structure and quality of human capital in the digital economy. The relevance of the research is due to the fundamental transformation of the labor market caused by the rapid spread of AI technologies, which creates both new opportunities for increasing labor productivity and serious challenges for the system of vocational education and retraining. Unlike the works focused on the technological aspects of AI or on macroeconomic employment forecasts, the present study focuses on structural changes in human capital – the transformation of skill requirements, the redistribution between cognitive and non-cognitive competencies, as well as the adaptive strategies of employees and firms. The purpose of the work is to systematize modern empirical and theoretical studies of the impact of AI on human capital and to substantiate the directions of its qualitative transformation.
