Al in Working Life : Automation, Emerging Skill Demand and the Impact on Digital Systems (English)
Abstract [sv]

Artificiell intelligens (AI) förändrar snabbt vårt vardagliga arbetsliv genom att automatisera arbetsuppgifter, omforma arbetsroller och skapar nya kompetenskrav. Denna uppsats undersöker just hur AI påverkar arbetsuppgifter och kompetensbehov i organisationer i fokus på tekniska, organisatoriska och etiska perspektiv. Studien bygger på en kvalitativ metod där en litteraturstudie kombineras ihop med flera intervjuer för att ge både teoretiska och praktiska insikter. Resultaten visar att yrken med repetitiva och rutinbaserade uppgifter är mest sårbara för automatisering men att AI omformar roller snarare än att ersätta arbetsroller. Nya yrkesroller växer fram där medarbetare behöver kombinera teknisk förståelse med samarbetsförmåga och anpassningsförmåga. De största utmaningarna handlar dock inte enbart om tekniken i sig utan om organisatoriska frågor samt etiska frågor som transparens, ansvar och delaktighet. Studien drar slutsatsen att AI inte bör ses som ett neutralt verktyg utan som ett sociotekniskt system som formas av mänskliga värderingar och organisatoriska val. För att AI ska kunna användas på ett hållbart och meningsfullt sätt behöver organisationer utveckla strategier och planer som involverar etik, utbildning och att se till att medarbetare känner ett engagemang. 

Abstract [en]

Artificial intelligence (Al) is rapidly changing our everyday working lives by automating tasks, reshaping work roles and creating new skill requirements. This study examines how Al affects work tasks and skill needs in organizations, focusing on technical, organizational and ethical perspectives. The study is based on a qualitative method where a literature review is combined with interviews to provide both theoretical and practical insights. The results show that occupations with repetitive and routine-based tasks are most vulnerable to automation, but that Al is reshaping roles rather than replacing work roles. New professional roles are emerging where employees need to combine technical understanding with collaboration and adaptability. However, the biggest challenges are not only about the technology itself, but also about organizational issues and ethical issues such as transparency, responsibility and participation. The study concludes that Al should not be seen as a neutral tool but as a socio­technical system shaped by human values and organizational choices. For Al to be used in a sustainable and meaningful way, organizations need to develop strategies and plans that involve ethics, training, and ensuring employee engagement.
