The rapid development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming the global job market, with varied impacts across different countries. This paper presents a comparative analysis of AIs influence on employment in the United States, China, and India, focusing on key factors such as job displacement, job creation, skills transformation, and workforce adaptability. A scoring system was used to assess each country’s progress in integrating AI technologies, with the United States showing strong AI adoption and workforce adaptability but facing significant job displacement risks. China has made remarkable strides in government-driven AI initiatives but faces challenges in workforce adaptability and job quality. India, while experiencing slower AI integration, is leveraging its tech sector to create new jobs, though it needs to address workforce reskilling. The study concludes that the future of work will depend not only on technological advancements but also on deliberate actions by governments, businesses, and educational institutions to ensure fair and inclusive outcomes. The findings highlight the need for comprehensive policies to address ethical concerns, upskill workers, and manage the socio-economic implications of AI, aiming for a balanced and prosperous future in the AI-driven economy.
