Statement: The rapid advancement of automation and artificial intelligence may lead to job displacement in some sectors, but it also provides opportunities to create new roles in emerging industries.
Assumptions:
I. Automation and AI could cause job losses in certain sectors.
II. New industries or roles will emerge as a result of automation and AI.
III. The job losses caused by automation will be fully offset by the new roles.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Only I and II are implicit.
Assumptions:
I. Implicit (because the statement talks about “job displacement.” If automation didn’t cause any job losses, the statement about displacement would be meaningless.)
II. Implicit (because the statement mentions “opportunities to create new roles in emerging industries.” Without the emergence of new roles, the second part of the statement (“opportunity to create new jobs”) would not hold.)
I. Not implicit (The statement only says new roles may appear, but it does not claim that they will fully compensate for the jobs lost.)
