10 Jobs AI Won't Replace
158: Make yourself AI Resistant
Happy Tuesday size gods and lords.
With all of the massive lay offs across all sectors, but particularly in tech and finance, many people are worried about their immediate futures.
Some, have begun the discussion about AI as well — and the fear that AI will quickly become capable of replacing humans in a number of roles is growing.
The fears aren’t completely unfounded and ChatGPT along with other AI technology is being widely discussed by corporate America right now. People are finding tons of use cases from engineering tasks to outreach for sales people.
Fifty-two percent of companies accelerated their AI adoption plans because of the Covid crisis, a study by PwC finds. Just about all, 86%, say that AI is becoming a “mainstream technology” at their company in 2021.
A Harris Poll, working with Appen, found that 55% of companies reported they accelerated their AI strategy in 2020 due to Covid, and 67% expect to further accelerate their AI strategy in 2021 and 2022.
2023 will likely be no different.
In the wake of the Covid 19 pandemic and crisis, close to three-quarters of business leaders (72%) felt positive about the role that AI will play in the future, a survey by The AI Journal finds (Harvard Business Review)
And our size lords over at Gartner found in a recent poll last year that 80% of executives think automation can be applied to any business decision.
80% folks. That’s impacting pretty much everybody if it plays out.
It’s apparent that companies are looking more and more to AI and automation to cut back on costs and fill jobs that were previously done by people.
The question is how prevalent will this become and who is safe in their career/job from being replaced.
We brought an interesting angle to the post today — we have several examples of opinions and situations written and created by AI/ChatGPT, 10+ jobs we think will be RELATIVELY safe from AI, and a breakdown of which roles are already in the process of being turned over to AI or automation.
Make no mistake many of the people being let go at the moment will see the availability of similar roles in the market shrink due to the recessionary environment we are in, company mandates to slim down, and the adoption of AI/Automation where possible.
AI and Automation protocols don’t get tired or work from home. They don’t go on strike or request mental health days. They don’t have sick days and they can work much longer hours making fewer mistakes.
Companies are going to become more lean as digitization and the growth of AI and automation allows for more seamless and effective marketing, administrative, operational, and even revenue related roles.
Is your role safe? How about in 3-5 years time? 10 years?
McKinsey extrapolates that, depending upon various adoption scenarios, automation will likely displace between 400 and 800 million jobs by 2030, requiring as many as 375 million people to switch job categories entirely.
We scoured the web for the consensus to compile the best information on what will make you safe from the robots and which sectors have some insulation.
This will eventually impact you or someone you know.
Let’s talk about which roles are really safe from AI at least in the next 10 years and which ones are starting to get eaten up by automated proceses and AI technology. We will also cover things you can do to make sure you aren’t a victim of technology in the coming years.
