Individual Reaction to the Advent of Artificial Intelligence

This is what has come to be known as Artificial intelligence (AI) which is the kind of intelligence that machines exhibit when certain manipulations and programming is done to them. Some of these machines like the IBM computer, Watson, are capable of mimicking or performing certain cognitive functions that are normally associated with the human brain only. Artificial intelligence research thus deals with problems ...

Thus, making a balance between work schedule and family life is of utmost importance if one wishes to have an overall satisfied life. However, identifying related family-specific variables and studying their impact on work-family conflict ( WFC) are some of the pre-requisites to boil down to the balancing part.
