With all the buzzes going around in the world for Artificial Intelligence, It’s no surprise that ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE GONNA BE THE BIGGEST THING IN 2018 and we are going to see some breakthrough Artificial intelligence invention in the coming years.
AI has proved to be one of the greatest achievement in the past decade and it has completely changes the way we thought about technology.
According to Wikipedia, “AI research is defined as the study of “intelligent agents”: any device that perceives its environment and takes actions that maximize its chance of success at some goal. Colloquially, the term “artificial intelligence” is applied when a machine mimics “cognitive” functions that humans associate with other human minds, such as “learning” and “problem solving”.
In general terms, AI is a way of making a computer, a computer-controlled robot, or a software think intelligently, in the similar manner the intelligent humans think.
Since its invention , AI has been dominating in the field of gaming, natural language processing, expert system, vision system , speech recognition, Handwriting recognition, intelligent robots and many more.,/p>
While Amazon has already shown interest in online delivery via drones and Uber excited about their upcoming driverless cars, there is no surprise that AI will be soon taking some of the Human jobs in terms of higher capability and lower risks.
Artificial Intelligence and robots are causing a lot of controversial discussions these days. A lot of technology experts believe that artificial intelligence has the potential to change the world. But at the same time, those same experts don’t agree on what kind of impact this changes will have on the average person.
Many believe that people will be much better off with the help of advanced AI systems, while others think it will lead to our inevitable downfall.
Having that much said, Let me list out the sectors that might be automated by Ai in near future:
Labors:
Labors are the ones who are at the highest risks. A programmed robot can perform a task 24/7 under the worst condition which become for Impossible for human beings because of Physical limitations.
Ex:
A robot can work day and night under ocean or oil exploration plant with surrounding temperature being more than 80 degree celcius. Moreover, A robot doesn’t get tired like we humans do. So, It is more likely to take over labors jobs in the near future.
Drivers:
This might be the job in the highest risk though. When big players like Amazon and Uber are doing their best to dive in for the driverless cars and drone delivery system, one can imagine drivers are not the type of job that you will get to see in the coming years.
Web Designers:
With so many Artificial Intelligence powered designing software, One can be easily to design websites and other digital things without the hassle of learning programming.
.All you need to do is drag & drop. With such technological advancement, it’s not so long way that non-tech guy will be able to design his own websites with little to no training.
One example of such AI program is Pagevamp.
Pagevamp connects with your Facebook Page, pulls all of your information, photos and videos, to automatically build a beautiful website in seconds. No technical skills necessary! However, Pagevamp has not proved to be a success due to many drawbacks over regular website but still you can expert such softwares soon in the market.
Fast food cook:
In a news published at recode.net, Sushi restaurants have been using machines to roll rice in nori for years, an otherwise monotonous and time-consuming task. The company Suzuka has robots that help assemble thousands of pieces of sushi an hour. In Mountain View, Calif., the startup Zume is trying to disrupt pizza with a pie-making machine. In Shanghai, there’s a robot that makes ramen, and some cruise ships now mix drinks with bartending machines.
Andy Puzder, the CEO of the fast-food chains Carl’s Jr says, “unlike human workers, robots are “always polite, they always upsell, they never take a vacation, they never show up late, there’s never a slip-and-fall, or an age, sex, or race discrimination case.”
With New Burger Robot Taking Command of the Grill in 50 Fast Food Restaurants, you can imagine the future of human cooks.
Loan officer & cashier:
With the advancement of AI softwares, computers can now predict, analyse and process every loan related things faster and more conveniently than human beings. cashier, on the other hand will become of no use with the development of digital wallet and cryptocurrencies.
Besides these, Some other professions that are at the highest risk because of AI includes:
1) Telemarketers:
With the rise of robotic capacity, A Telemarketer will no longer be needed in the near future. Since, AI lack empathy, emotions and all other human weaknesses; It could be the best fit for the Telemarketing automation
2) Receptionists:
Robots have been replacing receptionists over last couple of years. From Robot receptionists introduced at hospitals in Belgium to robots deployed at the front door of departmental stores and star hotels for entertainment and information, You can expect the downfall of receptionist job by 2022.
3) Couriers:
With Amazon on the verge of bringing Drone delivery system in their largest online marketplace, the courier automation is not far away.
4) Proofreaders:
Proofreading software can be found everywhere these days. From Microsoft Word’s simple spelling and grammar check to Grammarly and Hemingway App, there are a lot of technologies out there that make it easy to self-check your own writing.
5) Computer Support Specialists:
with so much content on the internet with informations, instructions, step-by-step guides, and hacks out there, it’s no surprise companies will rely more heavily on bots and automation to answer support questions from employees and customers in the future.
6) Market Research Analysts:
Market research analysts play a tremendous role in the development of messaging, content, and products, but automated Artificial intelligence and surveys can compile this information more and more easily.
We can cite the example from GrowthBot, which can conduct market research on nearby businesses and competitors with a simple Slack command. Isn’t that amazing?
So, why would company hire a human being when they can get job automated by AI with greater accuracy and lesser time.
7) Advertising Salespeople:
Gone are the days, when the advertisements had to be done buy real human beings on TVs, Ads, and commercials.
After shifting towards web and social media landscapes, people simply don’t need to be managing those sales for marketers who want to buy ad space.
More social media platforms are making it easy for people to buy space through free application program interfaces (APIs) and self-serve ad marketplaces to remove the salesperson and make it faster and easier for users to make money.
Conclusion:
Robot’s don’t make people jobless, people do.
Robots generally tend to take over a task done by a human being, and do it better, cheaper, faster. This results in a profit, however, the challenge that robots bring is within the greed of management and business owners.
Unfortunately we will often see cases where the jobs are simply eliminated to boost profits/pockets. But, to remain optimistic, let’s hope that in most cases the displaced
human resources get to work on something easier or more stimulating and possibly get a better compensation as a direct result of using robots.
Peter Theil In his book, Zero to One writes,”Machines have and would continue to master computation but shall never get the judgmental capacity of a human. That’s why machines and Human should hold hands to resolve world problems”
