Read Explanation:

The statement has two parts:

  1. Automation and AI could lead to significant job displacement.

  2. Automation and AI also create opportunities for new jobs in emerging industries.

To accept this statement, the following assumptions must hold:

  • I. Automation and AI could cause job losses in some sectors. ✔️
    This supports the possibility of job displacement.

  • II. New industries will emerge as a result of automation and AI. ✔️
    This supports the possibility of creating new jobs in emerging industries.

  • III. The displacement caused by automation is temporary and will be reversed by new industries. ❌
    The statement only says there is an opportunity to create new jobs; it does not assume that all displaced jobs will be restored or that displacement is temporary.

Correct answer: I and II only.
