      <video:title><![CDATA[The AI automation paradox ]]></video:title>
      <video:description><![CDATA[The rapid adoption of AI in the workplace is ignited a debate around the future of labour, consumer demand and even the sustainability of the global economic model itself. Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania and Boston University argue that widespread automation could ultimately become self-destructive for companies, because replacing workers with AI may also eliminate future consumers and weaken overall demand in the economy. Joining CNBC Africa to unpack this is Mark Nasila, 
Chief Data and Analytics Officer, FirstRand AI Strategy.
