Bank of Canada Governor Tiff Macklem warned at a ceremony on Friday that artificial intelligence could have a disruptive effect on the economy and could eliminate far more jobs than it is thought to create.

The governor of the Bank of Canada said that those who will lose their jobs due to this automation may struggle to find new opportunities, which is a matter of concern for all of us.
