Amidst all the clamor about A.I. In the midst of all the hubbub about A,I. A,I. will have three major impacts on jobs:
1. Yes, certain jobs will be lost. These disruptive technologies always disrupt jobs. You’d have to say that this is a remarkable grasp of the obvious.
2. While some jobs may seem to disappear, in reality they will shift from one industry to another. Analysts are more in demand for real estate than in the mundane aspects of warehouses. Individually, job shifts may hurt, but on a macro scale, they are a net benefit.
3. A.I. Job creation has already started, and it is increasing exponentially. I predicted seven years ago that 25 percent of jobs in 2025 would be ones that did not exist at the time. It turns out I was a bit hyperbolic. A.I., A.I., machine learning engineers and natural language processing experts are all examples of this. The first in line are ethicists and bias testers. They will be followed by autonomous vehicle engineers and augmented reality developers. As the technology becomes more common, jobs like supply chain analysts and sport metrics specialists will increase.
It is clear that the net-net result of all of these major civilization-changing technologies – I’m thinking of the personal computer – was the creation millions of new jobs. It will be the exact same with A.I. But much bigger.
Expected to be a big job gain
Here are 10 areas in which you can not only bet on job creation but also expect it:
Healthcare
AI can improve medical diagnosis, personalized treatments plans, drug discovery, telemedicine, and more (although I do see a downside). New categories of jobs are likely to emerge, leading to an increase in demand for new types healthcare professionals.
Education
AI-powered adaptive platforms, virtual tutors and personalized learning experiences require new mindsets in educators, instructional designer and AI trainers. This will also enable education for a billion people in the world, which will reduce poverty and illness.
Cybersecurity
It’s obvious, right? We’ll be forced to fight fire with fire as cyber threats become more sophisticated. There will be an increasing and urgent need for cybersecurity experts that can develop A.I. based security solutions, analyse threats, and manage the security infrastructure. The growth will be similar to the nuclear proliferation that took place between the U.S.S.R. and the U.S.A. in the 1950s-60s.
Finance
AI-driven algorithms are improving fraud detection, risk assessments, algorithmic trading and customer service, resulting in an increase in demand for data scientists and financial analysts.
Computer design, production and development.
Who needs humans anymore to develop computers, when computers can do it themselves? Imagine it for a few moments and it will become clear, especially now that quantum computing is gaining momentum. Here’s the good thing. The demand for algorithmic developers will skyrocket.
Agriculture, particularly Vertical Farming
It’s easy to see the role of A.I. when you multiply your yield and are only limited by the number levels you can build up. A.I. governs hydroponics. A.I.
Energy
AI improves energy efficiency and facilitates predictive maintenance. It also searches for renewable energy alternatives. Sustainability is the big winner.
Manufacturing
In the automotive industry, A.I.-powered automated systems improve productivity, quality control and predictive maintenance. Manufacturing. There are many jobs for robotics engineers and AI experts.
Transportation
Air, sea and land. All of these will require a large number of engineers, not to mention a new way to measure and view quality and maintenance.
Legal Services
A.I. A.I.
A.I. While A.I. It’s already happening.
