Consumers face potential job displacement from automation while gaining access to AI-assisted services; however, quality-of-life concerns emerge regarding AI-based therapy lacking human compassion, potentially increasing demand for human-centered healthcare services and creating a premium market for human interaction.
Governments may need to implement regulations on AI deployment in sensitive sectors (healthcare, therapy), establish ethical frameworks for genetic engineering, develop workforce retraining programs, and create social safety nets addressing technological unemployment and inequality.
