    "AVSAR, a recruitment consulting and outsourcing company, has said that ChatGPT, the latest revolutionary artificial intelligence technology, can significantly impact the job market, affecting both blue and white-collar employment. The agency warns that the replacement of humans by AI technology like ChatGPT can lead to job loss in different sectors such as manufacturing and customer service."

While it may lead to job loss in certain industries, it could also create new job opportunities and change the nature of existing jobs. As with any technological advancement, it is important for individuals and businesses to adapt and develop the necessary skills to remain competitive in the job market.
