The development of artificial intelligence will bring people around the world to new opportunities and challenges but it is always necessary to be prudent, because new technologies are always a threat. According to analysis by PricewaterhouseCoopers, new technologies will certainly cut jobs, only this will concern a certain segment of the market, and most importantly new ones will also be created. By 2037, in the UK, robots can drive out people from 20% of jobs but the consequences of the scientific and technological revolution will affect the organization of new ones. The purpose of this literary analysis is to carefully examine the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and to find out will AI make people unemployed in the nearest future.

Initiatives such as “free management”, creating “fun” or “open” workspaces or introducing the post of “director of happiness”, prove that the subject of employee satisfaction influences multiple employers. Although these initiatives may be right, they all adhere to the concept of increasing the level of happiness and wellbeing of employees by expanding their freedom, rights, and opportunities or encouraging selforganization. But are organizations able to make employees happy and as a result to increase company’s productivity and profits?
