I. INTRODUCTION
 This essay will make the case that artificial intelligence would be better suited as auxiliary
tools and gadgets than as a gradual replacement for workers in the job. There will be multiple
arguments in favor of this. Firstly, we contend that although AI has the potential to
revolutionize many fields, human creativity and emotional intelligence cannot be completely
replaced by it. Secondly, data security and privacy infringement are worries that come with
the growing usage of AI. Thirdly, the expense of deploying AI must be considered, as it is
thought to require a significant sum of money. On the other hand, a counter-argument is that
AI devices are predicted to progressively replace people in the workplace because of their
many better features and highly accurate multitasking or data analysis skills. However, the
response to this is the shortage of AI soft skills prevented the controversy.

II. DEFINITION & BACKGROUND

The ability of digital computers or computer-controlled robots to carry out tasks involving
intelligent beings is known as artificial intelligence (AI). This entails mimicking cognitive
functions akin to those of humans, including inference, interpretation, extrapolation, and
experience-based learning. Even while processing accuracy and speed have greatly increased,
AI still can't fully mimic human behavior, which makes it challenging for AI to take the
position of humans in the job (britannica,AI 2023 )

III. BODY
Primarily, it is important to note that AI cannot fully replicate human creativity and
emotional intelligence.
Explanations and evidences:
 AI can perform tasks accurately and efficiently, but it lacks the creativity and
emotional intelligence needed for areas like marketing and agency work. Creating
a brand story or design that resonates with people requires a level of creativity that
AI cannot replicate.
 According to Scott Darrohn, humans have cognitive abilities that enable them
to understand implicit meanings, interpret nuances, and make intuitive leaps.
These abilities allow us to read between the lines, infer meanings based on
context, and make connections without a clear logical path. This cognitive
flexibility is often observed in problem-solving and creative thinking, where
individuals can generate unexpected solutions to complex problems even without
actively thinking about them.

Secondly, with increased use of AI, there are concerns about privacy invasion and data
security.
Explain and Evidence: AI systems require vast amounts of data. This data can include
sensitive information such as social security numbers or financial data, and if this data falls
into the wrong hands it can be used for immoral purposes, such as identity theft, or hacking.
 As AI systems collect and process vast amounts of data, there is a risk that this
information could be mishandled, either through intentional breaches or accidental leaks
(Dataconomy,2023). Furthermore, cybercrimes affect the security of 80% of businesses
across the world (The Economic Times,2023). Hence, there must be a need for
transparent and ethical practices when it comes to data usage.
  In workplace, such systems as employee monitoring tools, facial recognition systems,
and productivity tracking software, can potentially invade employees' privacy. According
to PixelPlex, the misuse and abuse of data can lead to severe consequences. If the data
falls into the wrong hands, individuals’ sensitive information could be exposed, leading to
privacy breaches and potential harm.
Thirdly, it is essential to take the cost of implementing AI into account, which is considered
to require an enormous amount of money
Explain and Evidence: AI’s cost is a complex issue in terms of many different costs
included and especially the high cost in testing, deployment of this tool. Thus, firms need to
carefully determine its size in order to lay out their money appropriately for implementing
AI.
 According to an article by Akkio, there are various costs associated with
implementing AI. Hardware and software costs, labor costs, maintenance costs, training
costs should be taken into consideration beside the costs for developing the MVP
(Minimum Viable Product), which is estimated approximately from $20,000 to $35,000
(ITRex, 2023). Moreover, it is also essential for companies to hire data scientists,
software developers and machine learning engineers whose salaries are $102,000
(Indeed), $110,140 (US News) and $112,421 correspondingly.
 AI cost depends on not only diverse factors but also the size of your business. If you
have just started up with a limited budget, you could consider using AI’s chatbot to
support your customer. If you are the boss of a large company, you could invest in
developing a personalized recommendation system to promote your customer’s
experience. A good example is Netflix, which spends about $1.5 billion on technology
every year.
On the other hand, it is believed that AI with many superior features combined with high
accuracy multitasking skill or data analysis will gradually replace humans in the working
environment.
Explain and Evidence:
 With advanced robotic systems combining deep learning and machine Learning, AI
tools are capable of processing and analyzing large amounts of data more efficiently and
accurately. Furthermore, these technologies may be used to create sophisticated robotics
systems that can carry out difficult tasks that were previously considered to be
unachievable. This is especially beneficial for tasks that involve complex data analysis or
prediction in business, science and agriculture (M. Woschank, E. Rauch, H. Zsifkovits,
2020).
 Large-scale use of artificial intelligence (AI) is expected to boost the world economy
by up to $15.7 trillion by 2030. Many people think that as AI transforms business
operations, it will also alter who does this job, leading to the gradual replacement of
human workers by intelligent computers. This is already taking place: This is already
happening: workers are being forced into lower-paying jobs or being replaced in sectors
such as manufacturing, finance and services (David De Cremer & Garry Kasparov,
2021).
However, it is evident that with the deficiency of soft skills of AI that it cannot replace the
role of humans in the working space.
 AI Robots cannot generalize or contextualize, and have no soft skills. Thus, many
tasks in a sophisticated management system need interacting with outside forces. In a
workplace like this, employees must be able to anticipate and manage unforeseen
circumstances and misunderstandings that AI cannot provide (Martina Mara,2022). As a
result, people are still necessary in the workplace to oversee and improve AI decision-
making.
IV. CONCLUSION
This outline demonstrates that AI cannot completely replace human in a working
environment. The reasons cited are AI's lack of emotional intelligence and inventiveness, its
consideration of user privacy invasion and data security, and the expense of AI. The response
demonstrates that, in the end, non-soft skill smart devices will not be substituted for humans
in the workplace, despite the counterargument that artificial intelligence's high multitasking
ability and accuracy will replace humans.
