Abstract
There is a high potential for artificial intelligence (AI) to become the enabling technology of the new socio-economical paradigm. The huge amount of academic literature produced in the last few years leaves little room for doubts about the revolutionary nature of AI. Some scientific papers are focused on negative aspects of a complete or partial substitution of the workforce by the intelligent machines, while others are more optimistic and are focused on the ideas revolving around the universal basic income and the decrease in the number of full-time working hours. The proposed analysis, both of existing literature and new statistical evidence, aims at the further exploration of the possibility for artificial intelligence to become the enabling technology of the next technological revolution.
