12 JOBS THAT WILL BE SOON REPLACED BY AI

Computerization of human lives was the beginning of the end of all the
traditional methods and non-automated devices. Ever since the evolution
of computers and the introduction of automation the human lives have
gone through drastic changes.

Considering how many technological advances have impacted our lives,


one can say that there is no limit to technological advancements. In the
beginning, computers astounded the whole world and now AI. The term
“Artificial Intelligence” has a very broad meaning.

One can easily define AI as human-like


computers. The computers or devices which can mimic human-like
movements and can perform functions in a much better and more
efficient way than humans. From integral mobile apps like SIRI to surgical
robots, AI has not widened the perspectives of automation, but it has
redefined what completion automation means.

The AI technology of this era is focused on enabling the machines on


doing a single task like driving a car or performing facial recognition or
home automation. Even though this automation was considered
impractical few decades ago but all credits to AI the human generation
surpassed its own expectations and possibilities. The scientists are striving
to make AI stronger; a technology that will supersede human intelligence
and efficiency at nearly every task humans can do.

How will AI impact the


employment sector?
One of the most controversial topic when it comes to artificial intelligence
is how the future of AI will impact humanity. There are tons of
controversies that are being discussed by the AI experts and
professionals. One of the most prophesied controversies about AI is that
this rapid development in technology will soon reduce the employment
opportunities to none.

Does this myth ring any bells? Well, it is the same prophecy that many
people used to believe in when computers were introduced in the
corporate world. Not only do computers increased the job opportunities
instead it also helped in improving human efficiency and performance.

Same is the case with artificial intelligence. The employment of AI is not


restricted to only checking the baggage at assembly lines rather AI is
outperforming the humans in many other sectors like marketing, sales,
and analysis.

It will be unreasonable to say that AI will not replace any job and will make
jobs easier and better for humans. The truth lies in the midway of both
these approaches, in some approaches AI will make jobs and tasks easier
and simpler for humans while on the other hand robots and AI machines
will replace humans.

However, this doesn’t pose any threat to any human employment.


Automation is the real essence of the AI revolution and potentially. Not all
careers will be destroyed, the robotic takeover of several jobs also means
the opening of new job opportunities in advanced technology.
Several studies and researches have been conducted on the jobs which
have a higher chance of getting replaced by AI machines, robots, and
other automated devices. In this article, we present you with a
comprehensive enlistment of jobs and professions that will be fully
computerized in a few decades. Based on the nature, type and amount of
training required for these jobs, AI machines are most likely to perform
these jobs in the coming years:

1. Telemarketers

99.9%. One of the biggest reason behind this replacement is that the
conversion rates of telemarketing are quite low. The career growth

currently gaining popularity and are being adopted by some huge
business organizations to provide their employees with promised benefits
and compensations.

4. Receptionists

automated.

financing and accounting than any human will ever be. Many companies
and business organizations are already automated their financing and
accounting systems and no longer need a human employee for
monitoring and tracking the payables and receivables.

12. Security guards


The evolution of technology in the field of security is commendable. With
facial recognition systems to high-tech robotic guards, AI has made huge
advancements in the field of security.

Conclusion:
The impacts of artificial intelligence on human lives cannot be neglected.
Some experts of fear that such rapid growth in AI might bring about
drastic consequences on humanity while others have a completely
opposite take on this rapid development in AI.

Nobody is completely sure about what the future of AI holds for the

learn, to adapt, to self-educate— it is safe to say that human beings are
bound to bring about more rapid and successful changes in the world.
