Artificial intelligence and the future of employment

Diplomsko delo kritično preučuje prihodnost zaposlovanja v luči vse hitrejšega razvoja tehnologij umetne inteligence. Umetna inteligenca je danes eden najpomembnejših tehnoloških dosežkov. Sodobna tehnologija je vse bolj povezana z njo, rast pametne tehnologije pa poenostavlja številne vidike našega življenja. S hitrostjo njenega razvoja pa se pojavljajo pomisleki glede morebitnih motenj in preoblikovanj tradicionalnih zaposlitvenih okolij. Cilj naloge je raziskati posledice široke uveljavitve umetne inteligence na delovno silo, vključno s premiki v zahtevah po znanju, spretnostih in potrebi po stalnem učenju ter izpopolnjevanju. S pregledom obstoječe literature in empiričnim dodatkom to delo preučuje zgodovinski kontekst tehnološkega razvoja in njegovega učinka na prihodnost zaposlovanja. Naloga prikazuje tudi družbeno-gospodarske posledice umetne inteligence in izzive, ki jih prinaša, kot so polarizacija delovnih mest, dohodkovna neenakost in potreba po pobudah za preusposabljanje spretnosti zaposlenih.This thesis critically examines the future of employment in the light of the accelerating development of artificial intelligence technologies. Artificial intelligence is one of the most important technological developments today. Modern technology is increasingly connected to it, and the growth of smart technology is simplifying many aspects of our lives. However, the pace of its development raises concerns about the potential disruption and transformation of traditional employment environments. The aim of this thesis is to explore the implications of the widespread adoption of AI on the workforce, including shifts in knowledge and skills requirements and the need for continuous learning and upskilling. Through a review of existing literature and an empirical appendix, this thesis examines the historical context of technological developments and their impact on the future of employment. It also illustrates the socio-economic implications of AI and the challenges it poses, such as job polarisation, income inequality and the need for initiatives to reskill employees

Social inequality and the position of women in Ivan Cankar\u27s novels Hiša Marije Pomočnice, Na klancu and Križ na gori

V diplomskem delu sem se osredotočila na socialno neenakost in položaj žensk v romanih Hiša Marije Pomočnice, Na klancu in Križ na gori Ivana Cankarja. Na kratko sem orisala življenje avtorja, predstavila romane in sodobni slovenski roman. Romani Ivana Cankarja so znani po tem, da so izrazito avtobiografski, tako prinašajo vpogled v avtorjevo doživljanje družbenih razmer, ljudi, ki so ga obkrožali in njihove tegobe ter problematike, kot so: revščina, socialna neenakost, boj za preživetje, trpljene, pomanjkanje, nepričakovane smrti in podobno. Osredotočila sem se na sociološko obravnavo razmer tistega časa, največjo pozornost pa sem namenila ravno obravnavi socialne in spolne neenakosti, posebej pa sem izpostavila slabši družben položaj žensk.In my diploma thesis I focused on social inequality and the position of women in Ivan Cankar\u27s novels Hiša Marije Pomočnice, Na Klancu in Križ na gori. I briefly outlined the author\u27s life, presented the novels and the contemporary Slovenian novel. Ivan Cankar\u27s novels are known for being highly autobiographical, thus providing an insight into the author\u27s experience of social conditions, the people who surrounded him and their hardships and problems, such as: poverty, social inequality, the struggle for survival, suffering, deprivation, unexpected deaths and so on. I have focused on the sociological aspects of the situation at that time, and I have paid the greatest attention to social and gender inequality, with particular focus on the disadvanteged position of women in society
