Fears are gradually increasing among employees and workers around the world that a day will come when they will be completely laid off, and the need for them will end after machines replace them, including “robots” and smart technologies that can perform the work of some people with high efficiency and without much cost.
However, the debate that has occupied the labor market all over the world for years revolves around the work that we can see the “robot” one day doing on its own, and we can completely dispense with humans in order to do it, that is, what jobs can a human invade The smart robot and its workers find themselves threatened with losing their jobs.
The American magazine “Forbes” tried to answer this great controversial question in a lengthy report, which was reviewed by “Al Arabiya Net”, and concluded that there are five jobs in the world that will be raided by “artificial intelligence” during the next ten years, and its workers may find themselves without Careers And they turn into the ranks of the unemployed soon.
The report said, “Artificial intelligence has achieved great success in many fields, as startups are touting the ability to employ it in almost every imaginable industry, and artificial intelligence is now almost everywhere, after its popularity and importance were slowly increasing in the past, But it has started to spread widely recently and in various fields.”
According to the magazine, “The use of artificial intelligence is growing all the time across all different sectors of the economy, and this is likely to end with the disappearance of many jobs.”
And “Forbes” reviewed the five jobs that could disappear during the next ten years, and be replaced by artificial intelligence and machines, led by the “factory worker”, as this actually happened some time ago, as the use of robots in the manufacturing sector has a much longer history than it might As you can imagine, General Motors is believed to be the first major manufacturer to introduce robots into its assembly line, installing a UNIMATE machine in a New Jersey plant in 1962.
Clearly, things have progressed since then, as there are now many manufacturers with hundreds of robots in their factories, some of them fully automated.
As for the second job that could disappear, it is “couriers.” The giant “Amazon” company was keen to push packaging and internal transportation processes towards automation, and used robots and artificial intelligence on a large scale. Package delivery is one sector of the economy that has thrived in line with the continuous increase in online retailing, but is now moving towards automation.
The third job that is at risk of evaporation, according to Forbes, is the “investment analyst,” where an enormous amount of the financial industry’s workforce is used to collect, categorize, and analyze data, and this is not only tedious and time consuming, but there are limits to the amount of information a human can process and it is always there. There is a possibility of errors, and for this reason the world is moving to replace this type of job with computerized applications that rely on artificial intelligence technology.
As for the fourth function in this field, it is “customer service”, so far chatbots are widely used in the field of customer service, as most Internet sites offer a friendly pop-up window in the lower right corner asking if we need some help, and in many cases The cases work very well.
Forbes says that for simple requests, these bots have already proven to be very successful in resolving customer problems quickly, and more complex queries will inevitably end up being redirected to a real person.
As for the fifth and final job that is threatened with disappearance during the next ten years, it is “security guards”, as security will always remain important, and many homes and companies will continue to desire protection to ensure their safety, however, it is likely that we will see the replacement of more roles of traditional security personnel with intelligence. artificial.
Technology such as facial recognition and human pattern recognition allow AI to track potential threats and even predict their movement. This information can then be used to trigger automated protection devices and alert human guards or police.
