of Illiberalism, Trade

Intelligence and Big
Data: A Study
Naseer Ahmad Bhat1
Abstract
This article aims to scrutinise the job markets and the impacts on jobs due to quite
new themes which the world has witnessed, such as rise of illiberal democracies,
trade wars between nations, artificial intelligence and big data. It is quite interesting
to see the impact of ideologies of states on the jobs they create. Artificial intel-
ligence is going to be a huge disruptor and so is managing of big data by companies.
Based on the secondary data already available and the literature review, this arti-
cle argues that job markets get impacted by the ideology of states, which in turn
leads to trade wars. In a similar breath, data show that artificial intelligence and big
data are going to create new ‘haves’ and ‘have-nots’ in the world. The answer to
this problem lies in regulating the artificial intelligence climate and bringing in new
rules for the game where big players operate, which amass humongous data. Rules
should be framed in a way so that digitally deprived people do not lose their jobs.

ism, populism, big data and articial intelligence (AI). The world has jettisoned
the old clichéd theme of communist agenda, which believed in ‘Big Governments’
and providing jobs to millions of people. Capitalism has stood fast with its
roots intact and has taken over the old forts of the Soviet era model of socialism/
