Features and models of human capital reproduction in the conditions of artificial intelligence development

Abstract

The chapter analyzes the role and features of human capital reproduction amid modern scientific and technological advances, robotization and development of artificial intelligence (AI). The study conducted a systematic analysis of theoretical and applied research in the field of changes in the direction of human capital (HC) reproduction, employment structure and labor market needs in the development of AI. Three main models of HC reproduction are described: individual, corporate, national. It is concluded that invest-ments in the development of HC should be focused on the requirements for the occupations of the future through the competencies that depend on the demand from the changing markets. An important condition for ensur-ing the development of HC is the modernization of the education system, its transformation towards lifelong learning based on a combination of public and corporate learning tools. In order to offset the negative consequences of the unevenness in digitalization and robotization of the economy in the regional, sectoral, and professional aspects, it is necessary to actively develop programs of comprehensive socioeconomic support of the population.
