With the development of Artificial Intelligence (AI), AI systems has been used in many organisations. The relationship between workforces and AI systems has been a frequently discussed topic. To demonstrate in detail, this article surfaces two most significant ways of influencing workforces by AI, explaining why the misuse of AI is inequitable and socially harmful. While knowing that the application of AI could have negative influences on employees, this article seeks to explain that further with cases, and provide suggestions for firms to use AI in a more appropriate method that will not hurts employees’ interests and cause their uncertainty.
