In the aftermath of a pandemic that forced many companies to shut down, either for a temporary period or months at a time, new reports are emerging that many companies are looking to invest in artificial intelligence and automation as a means to guard against the risks of future health crises.

This week on Down to Business, Natalia Mishagina, research director at the Institute for Research on Public Policy in Montreal, where she focuses on the future of skills and adult learning, came on the show to discuss technologys impact on jobs.

Mishagina recently oversaw a study conducted by researchers at Statistics Canada that examined which people are most at risk of having their jobs transformed by automation and artificial intelligence. As she explained, job transformation isnt the same thing as job loss. A job often consists of many responsibilities, and in many cases, only certain tasks will be automated. As always, the interview has been edited for clarity and brevity.
