I chose the article since it is relevant to my research topic of interest, artificial intelligence. Furthermore, it concerns economics and future work, which is an exciting topic to cover when considering the implications of artificial intelligence. From a sociological perspective, I intend to study the ramification of the economic impacts of artificial intelligence on social stratification. Critical areas in that topic include the future of work and human resources, which are covered in this article.
