The purpose of the study is to provide an overview of sources in the area of the disappearance of occupations. The starting hypothesis is that new technologies and AI applications are the cause of the crowding out of occupations. This argument makes it legitimate to formulate a hypothesis as to the possibility of identifying the consequences and risks of the phenomenon of declining occupations on the Polish labour market. A critical literature analysis method was used, the conclusions of which allowed both hypotheses to be demonstrated.
