With the rapid development of technology, artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer a concept in science fiction but has become a part of our daily life and work. Also, the wide application of AI technology will have a profound impact on our future work, so in this paper, we discuss the impact of AI on the future work. Starting from the emergence, development and rise of AI, the functions of AI and its main features are introduced. Then, it analyses the mechanism of AI’s impact on the job market, including the substitution of traditional jobs by automation, the emergence of new occupational fields, and the diversity of works and changes in the choice of employment modes, etc. It also combines specific occupations with targeted analyses of the impact of AI on various industries, about what new jobs have been created, how integration with traditional occupations can be achieved, and the new requirements for workers’ skills. On this basis, in view of the changes in the job market, occupations and skills requirements of AI, corresponding opinions, suggestions and countermeasures are put forward in terms of the formulation of government policies, the adjustment of education and training tasks as well as the personal career planning of practitioners, so as to guide people to get ready for the work of the future.
