AI Takes Jobs as Mining Giants Shift | Sydney News

With the government scrambling to regulate AI and balance productivity gains against workforce disruption, job growth in routine roles is slowing — a trend mirrored in falling ad numbers and rising unemployment. Nearly a third of Aussie businesses already use AI for advanced tasks like forecasting, sparking debate: is this innovation or a cost-cutting cover? The future of work hangs in the balance.
