AI is now changing how numerous industries work. These include the labor, media, corporate, and other sectors.
Because of this, many experts warned that artificial intelligence could soon have more severe impacts in the future, such as taking over people's jobs.
One of the organizations that believe AI could negatively affect jobs is the International Monetary Fund (IMF), which recently claimed that 40% of jobs across the world could be affected by the AI revolution.
IMF said that one of the major impacts of artificial intelligence on jobs is worsening inequality.
How the Rise of AI Affects Our Jobs
According to Forbes, the impact of AI on people's daily jobs is more complicated than what others perceive. Based on recent studies and reports, artificial intelligence could automate or augment job roles.
When you say augmentation, this means that jobs could be expanded; leading to more work. In short, more individuals will be given new job opportunities since AI could create new job roles.
On the negative side, artificial intelligence could lead to automation. This means that many jobs might no longer need the assistance of humans since AI can automatically do them.
This negative effect is the one most people are worried about as this could lead to mass layoffs. However, there's still something in between these negative and positive impacts of AI.
On the neutral side, some AIs could just become additional tools to make jobs easier, meaning people's work will remain the same, but will start having assistance from artificial intelligence.
Making Your Job AI-Proof
Before knowing how to make your job AI-proof, you need to first identify what works are at risk of AI automation. Indeed Career Guide provided the jobs that will most likely be affected by artificial intelligence:
- Production/Manufacturing: AI-powered robots could replace labor.
- Customer Service: AI developers are now creating chatbots that can easily answer queries of people. These AI tools could reduce the need for human customer service representatives.
- Research & Analysis: Most artificial intelligence tools being developed nowadays are designed for research and analysis.
Now that you know the jobs mostly at risk of artificial intelligence automation, here's what you can do to prevent AI tools from replacing you:
- Be flexible: Always seek for new skills and never be contended with your current experience since AI could easily overtake you.
- Make people skills one of your priorities: Yes, AI can definitely do a lot of things that people can, but in a more efficient and faster way. However, AI still can't replicate people skills, such as persuasion, conflict solving, and the ability to connect with other humans.
- Embrace AI: Instead of rejecting artificial intelligence, the best thing you can do is embrace them. If you have spare time, use them to learn AI tools that are in demand in the industry you work in.
- Build connections: If you tend to work solo, then it's time to start becoming more of a team player. Try building connections with other people working in your industry, especially those who are also concerned about AI.
