Whenever the talk about AI and robotics developments arises, one of the central issues is still, "How many jobs will be automated?". AI is projected to improve the world economy by $15 tn by 2030. Bearing this in mind, we will mention which jobs are most at threat and which sectors will be the most stable.
PwC's 2018 study found that 30% of new jobs are at risk of being automated by the early 2030s. Positions that are more at risk are roles with low educational qualifications. However, in the long run, administrative or clerical jobs are still at risk of being replaced by AI. Let's have a closer look at employees who face the most trouble.
Research and Data Entry
Machine learning is all about the
use of data. So it's not surprising that data entry is one of the first jobs
that will be automated. With tech giants like Google and Amazon who continually
investing money into research so AI robts will replace research and data
analysis jobs. This will be especially beneficial for small and medium
companies, where they don't have the financial resources to hire more in-house
employees.
Outbound Sales
Outbound sales should be
streamlined earlier rather than later, with the technologies already developed
in this region. Chatbots are already able to have conversations with customers
via emails or chat support and then push this on to the employee when the deal
is done.
This tech will only become more
advanced shortly, and outbound sales staff will be entirely replaced.
Bookkeeping Specialists
Giants such as Xero and Quickbooks
are now improving rapidly digitized bookkeeping systems. These systems will
include software that manages bookkeeping for small and medium-sized companies
at a much more competitive price than it would cost to employ anyone on a
permanent contract.
As with several of the occupations
that will be automated, the higher the degree of education needed for your
profession, the less possible it is will be automated. Finance specialists will
continue to be essential for a long time in the future, especially in small
companies.
Proofreaders
Like accounting, there are also
applications available to support you with your re-reading. who doesn't like
the spell - checking tool in Microsoft Word? Corporations like Grammarly have
sought to move this to the next step by offering more comprehensive
recommendations on sentences. It's impossible, though, that Alice Walker will
focus on Grammarly to proofread her next novel.
Legal Professionals
Legal fees can be stressful and
extorting for companies – small and medium-sized firms. While specific legal
processes would still involve a human hand, there is a substantial chance that
robots would eventually be able to review contracts even faster and cheaper
than employees.
When AI technologies become
available, companies will save much of their legal costs.
What are the least likely jobs
to be automated?
Creatives will keep their roles in
the future as their primary responsibility is to bring more creative ideas depending
on their on-job skills and experience.
Developers are not at risk soon.
The need for a customized code to meet particular business needs will still be
necessary, and there is no evidence that robots will be able to execute these
roles yet anyway.
To Conclude,
Broaden your skills and talents whenever possible. More skills you have, more opportunities to find in the future, ensure that you utilize every available channel to learn. While small and medium-sized companies aim to minimize costs by automation, others will look for
freelancers to reduce more costs. Adapt your skills to meet the changing demands of the current rapidly changing job market.
