This book chapter delves into the profound socioeconomic implications of integrating artificial intelligence (AI) automation across various industries. Through a comprehensive exploration, it meticulously examines three key dimensions: job displacement, skill mismatches, and income inequality. Firstly, the chapter investigates how automation disrupts traditional job roles and delineates the industries most vulnerable to displacement, analyzing case studies and statistical data. Secondly, it addresses skill mismatches exacerbated by automation, assessing the challenges faced by workers in adapting to changing job markets and evaluating reskilling initiatives' efficacy. Thirdly, the chapter scrutinizes the widening income inequality resulting from automation-induced productivity gains, analyzing distributional effects and public policy interventions. By providing valuable insights into the complex interplay between AI automation and socioeconomic dynamics, the chapter offers implications for policymakers, businesses, and individuals navigating the transformative landscape of AI-driven automation, aiming to foster inclusive and equitable socioeconomic development in the age of rapid technological advancement.
