Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to revolutionize the way we work and live. One of the most significant impacts of AI will be on the job market, as many jobs that are currently done by humans may be taken away by machines and algorithms. In this article, we will discuss some of the jobs that will be snatched from you by AI, it is not something about future, it is happening in most corporate organizations in the world.
We decided to ask AI itself what roles it thinks are at risk and this is the list it produced of roles at risk:
- Data entry clerks
- Customer service representatives
- Manufacturing workers
- Retail salespeople
- Fast food workers
- Delivery drivers
- Data analysts
- Transcriptionists
- Insurance underwriters
- Travel agents
- Accountants and auditors
- Legal assistants and paralegals
- Market research analysts
- Quality control inspectors
- Credit analysts
- Medical and health services managers
- Medical lab technologists
- Medical coders and billers
- Financial analysts
- Mortgage brokers
The concern that AI will replace people is valid.
Humans have five senses that influence the way in which we are able to perceive and operate in the world; visual, auditory, gustatory, olfactory and tactile. Surprisingly, AI has now acquired all of these senses and so the idea that the jobs at risk will only be repetitive is wrong. The world has moved on and so too have the goal-posts. The risk to everyday jobs is steadily growing in line with the skills and competencies AI is fast accumulating. AI is something you feel you shouldn’t play with because the more data it acquires, the more it learns and the smarter it becomes. That being said, it is something you almost cannot avoid because to dismiss it would be to accept defeat as others discover and quickly learn to deploy it for competitive advantage.
We are in the first stage but entering the second stage, ANI, where service providers can seek to improve their productivity, quality and efficiency with AI tools. Although some business owners may themselves have direct access to AI tools, service providers can stay relevant by stacking value for their clients in a way that makes them a compelling hire.
