| Summary: | The fast pace of the inclusion of AI in almost all sectors of human activity, with more and
more accurate and effective results, transforms society at all levels. Changes have already
been noticed in the structure of jobs offers for human tasks, since AI provides skills that can
successfully replace human competencies in certain areas of activity. Hence, our paper aimed
to investigate whether AI is perceived as a threat or a benefactor for the competencies of the
human workforce. The analysis of the relevant scientific literature was followed by a
quantitative investigation on 512 adult persons of all ages, sex, and having various work
experiences. Research results indicate that job losses, dehumanisation of the work, as well as
lower intellectual capacity and skills for humans that are no longer used to solve problems
and work tasks on their own, are the main threats brought by AI. At the same time, there are
perceived AI benefits, such as rapidity in solving some work tasks and reducing the physical
and mental strain of employees. In general, it can be said that younger generations, who also
have less work experience, are more open to using the AI competencies to solve their work
tasks.
