Introduction
What is the hotline of this era? AI has reached the heights and depths of every city! We are witnessing transformations in every chats and posts in social media after AI started to help us with translation, rephrasing and grammatical checks. It is no less influential in the industrial and business units. When AI is trusted for jobs humans cannot do, the disadvantages might be trivial. But when it is considered, even slightly to replace humans, because of its speed, precision and efficiency, then the job market is a question mark for humans.
On the flip side, it may pose a greater need for human resources to program, and manage these intelligent slaves. It is important to understand and discuss how these artificial superhumans shift the lives of real humans. Come let's discuss whether AI is a bane or boon in this blog!
The Shift in Job Roles
The AI is a great player in repetitive and rule-based tasks. While human beings feel bored and irritable in doing repetitive tasks, AI doesn't complain about rote working. This aspect of AI has turned into a potential threat to the routine working sector of human resources.
However, it needs a programmer or controller who operates on it to bring the needed output. Unsurprisingly, the programmer needs educational qualification to be able and eligible to work with this artificially intelligent worker. Here, the job market of semi-skilled and unskilled sectors are greatly endangered.
Industries Most Affected by AI
Customer Support
While human tech-support engineers can attend an average of 20-50 calls per day, an AI can make more than a thousand calls per day, with the capacity to manage multiple calls simultaneously without fatigue. This is apparently menacing to the customer service cell.
Healthcare
In the healthcare industry, AI diagnoses and medical reports ace human performances. The clever treatment plans and precise predictions of AI not only ease human workload but it is actually playing a substitute role.
Finance
When we speak about finance, humans, however diligent they are, still have a greater possibility to miscalculate, misconstrue and mistake the financial formulas and concepts. Nevertheless, AI seamlessly chun out accurate calculations.
Education
No matter, even if our teachers say “Feel free to pose your doubtsâ€, we would feel reluctant. By the time we get a clear explanation from our traditional educational setups, we'd finish graduation. Whereas AI tirelessly work 24/7 to clear out doubts way better than our teachers, and also our topper friends.
The Demand for New Skills
Technical Proficiency
The age of AI has made many things complicated. The necessity to have technical proficiency has almost caught the neck of most people. It has no space for courtesy. The situation now is like adapt or die. Learning new things is growth. However, there's difference between an opportunity to improve and the medium to survive. Things get bitter here!
Soft Skills
Soft skills, similar to what was once known as common sense and presence of mind, have now taken a different leap. Theories, exams and certifications are playing a major role here. The demand for soft skills certifications is increasing rapidly.
Continuous Learning
There wasn't any learning after college days during the past decade. But now, life doesn't cease to teach you, and you can't choose to resist learning. And this is the climate now. Every season is a learning season, with special sales and offers.
The Future of Work With AI
Today's job market is no way similar to that of the past decades. The global advancements have many jobs extinct and are having many new jobs popping up. The extinction of already learnt, well versed jobs and the emergence of alien jobs that require much more skills and technical knowledge is quite intimidating. This could be a burden for both the experienced and fresher staffs. Nevertheless, the transitions of traditional job natures would be difficult to adapt.
Creativity is a human skill that AI can't replace. Human discoveries were results of curiosity, whereas laziness was the cause of many inventions including AI today. This is a two way road where it can lead to further inventions and developments or to the extent where we fully become enslaved to what we employed. It is only a thin line that separates us from becoming powerful masters and dependent slaves. It is all about how we make use and not what we use. Understanding and acting upon it has now become crucial.
Conclusion
A rock is an obstacle and an opportunity. Both of which completely depends on whether the person who faces it is a mediocre or trailblazer. People who are striving everyday to innovate and make their best, view the opportunities beyond every closed doors. Nonetheless, AI is an open field with endless possibilities. It's high time we work smarter to convert our resources into exponential growth.
