A region-specific model was developed and tested using data from 500 respondents through Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The growing role of Artificial Intelligence-driven Predictive technologies, where intelligent maintenance systems enhance operational efficiency while simultaneously influencing Workforce Adaptability and Labour Market Stability within the context of the Digital Economy. Results show that AAI negatively influences LMS (\u03b2 = \u22120.41, p &lt; 0.001), while DED positively influences LMS (\u03b2 = 0.696, p &lt; 0.001). DED also positively affects WA (\u03b2 = 0.515, p &lt; 0.001), which further contributes to LMS. The model demonstrates strong reliability and validity, with satisfactory Cronbach\u2019s alpha, AVE, HTMT, and SRMR values.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Keywords:&nbsp;Artificial Intelligence Automation Intensity, Digital Economy Development, Labour Market Stability, Workforce Adaptability, Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:2rem\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-tkuwpbs5-bs5-div ref_ol\" data-aos=\"normal\">\n<ol>\n<li>[1] Y.
