Some of the critical ethical concerns related to the adoption of the AI systems are:
                 Concerns regarding Job loss due to AI Adoption


                 Since the introduction of AI, concerns regarding
                 its implications on job availability  has been
                 in  continuous  discussions.  However,  there
                 is no  agreement  on  the issue.  Some  people
                 are  adamant that  AI  systems will reduce  job
                 availability,  while others argue that jobs  will
                 increase. Some people simply don’t expect any
                 changes in job availability due to the growth of
                 AI systems.

                 Some  of  the reputed  international  firms
                 conducted  studies to find  out more  about  the
                 impact of AI on job availability. Some of them are as follows:

                 McKinsey Global Institute

                 This institution has predicted that almost 40 million to 160 million women are going to be affected
                 across the world due to the adoption of AI systems. They claim that jobs like clerical, secretarial,
                 schedulers, bookkeepers etc. are highly susceptible to automation and almost 72% of such jobs are
                 held by women in the developed economies alone.

                 World Economic Forum

                 They studied the issue and said that by 2022, AI would lead to job loss of 75 million. But they claim
                 that this will be offset by the 133 million new AI-related jobs which will be created during the same
                 period.
