What jobs are safe from AI?

Artificial intelligence will likely remake the workplace. A recent analysis from Goldman Sachs looked at the global impact, and found that AI could replace 300 million full-time jobs. Futurist Martin Ford joined CBS News to discuss the jobs he believes AI likely won't take, and what you can do if you're concerned your job may be replaced.

As someone with a front-row seat in the tech world, I can confidently say that AI is not yet mature enough to revolutionize the job market.We're still in the experimental phase.

[@peterpahor8228]

I can attest to that. I was laid off due to AI 'efficiencies' but thankfully, I had a financial expert who helped me navigate the transition. He showed me how to diversify my portfolio and even invest in AI-proof industries.

[@alpgeorge7012]

That's great to hear. But what about the companies claiming AI is the future and laying off people left and right?

[@elenab3052]

The future might hold promise, but today's AI tech is overhyped. Research the AI bubble and you'll find a stark reality: returns are underwhelming.

[@peterpahor8228]

My financial expert told me the same thing. He said companies are using AI as an excuse to cut costs, but they're not investing in the right areas. He showed me how to capitalize on the AI trend without getting burned. He introduced me to alternative investments like AI-driven real estate and AI-focused venture capital funds. He also helped me create a tax-efficient strategy to minimize losses and maximize gains which has helped me build a 7-figure portfolio.

AI can replace 80% of work from home jobs.

[@kivancersoz2203]

I think what the world governments need to do is to allocate a basic salary for all the citizens or households that can be sufficient for surviving a good life , and let the AI do most ( not all ) jobs that people are doing to earn that salary. That is the most ideal way that we can solve all the productivity and surviving problems. And the people will have more room to improve their skills and abilities in areas where they really enjoy rather than have to work to survive. ( People who have those special abilities of course will earn more money accordingly) Another benefit of this for the governments is that it would prevent the anarchy and creates more cooperative citizens)

Similar to unions, corporations always fight back on them, but eventually unions win if enough people support them and they don't give up. Andrew Yang had some good ideas about how the american workforce could benefit from robots and AI instead of suffering the consequences mentioned in this video. Unfortunately, he went off the rails and now he has his own political party (i think). AI is growing exponentially and is getting out of control. We should be worried about it because most people don't understand how powerful AI will become. Just yesterday, the Young Turks were talking about how every branch or the US military and probably other militaries around the world are in a rush to incorporate the newest AI tech into every aspect of their branch.

But, what happens when a typical sales job has 1000 new applicants competing for those jobs, all having tech backgrounds. Especially if the products/services being sold has a tech component which almost all would have. There is going to be a ton of new competition for those jobs. So, creative people based jobs aren't safe. Also, what happens when one or a few employees realize they can fire their company and essentially do the same thing. With AI they can provide the same product/service as the company did with just a few people. Maybe even one person. It could be the companies are the ones getting fired, not always the employee. Bottom line, learn AI. Become a domain expert that uses ai. In the short term that is where the value will be. So, if you write code, get good at your technology stack. And then get good using ai. Combine the two. Network and see what opportunities arise as things change. It's going to be a new world, hopefully for the better.

As _Survivor_ and _Big Brother_ air on this network, we've borne witness to how inexpensive and incredibly efficient reality television has grown to become. Nice to not have to put up with an actor's temper tantrums or a pop star's vanity. If you want to understand just how valuable AI _will_ be in and for entertainment, just look at _The Bugs Bunny / Road Runner Show_ (the #1 Saturday morning cartoon for years on end in its day). It's time for today's actors and actresses to start looking for work. Small businesses would be thrilled to get the extra help.

Not so far.

What about service technicians that install and repair robot automation for manufacturing and medical purposes? My thought is they will need a highly advanced humanoid with fingers that are able to work with tool, which I think it will be a long time from now. When they say engineers, it's a very vague term. Tthey have collected many data during Covid on what we can replace. Those who stayed home during the pandemic has the highest risk on the chopping block. Just my thought.

Regarding the effect of AI to the Tech & IT Industry; I think the biggest impact will be remote tech interview tasks. Employers would want to give interviewees a special application where they can do their tests/tasks. I still don’t think AI will replace junior developers; It will reduce the time spent on training them. It will also make startups and businesses more productive and there will be a significant increase in applications and softwares deployed on cloud services. The businesses that will survive are the ones that are innovative, solve real problems and care more for their customers. Regarding the educational sector, certifications and work experience will become more relevant because employers may not trust self taught individuals who are new to the industry.

The answer depends on the timeframe. Ultimately, almost none.

[@rhys6685]

But when the tech dude, or call-centre person loses their job, they will probably have to retrain. Guess what? Trades will then become saturated. Wages will decrease. Luckily, I retire in 5 years, but I worry for young people out there. AI is dangerous for everyone.

[@willemdebruyn3715]

I just want to know one thing: Where will all these unemployed people go? Will they just take it and go live under a bridge, or will they rise up and smash the machines that took their jobs?

That would be vandalism and you will face prison time

[@ten10_ten10]

Having a revolution would basically be the only way to go back to normal if AI truly did take over every job. People who believe there'd be some universal basic income if AI took over are kinda stupid. The reason AI is a threat to our jobs is because a select group of humans (rich CEOs) don't value human work. Even with the "inefficient" human labor of the last hundred years, rich people have managed to make billions of dollars exploiting that "inefficient" work. They basically only want AI because they don't believe other humans should be able to feed themselves.

[@RovexHD]

They’ll have to retrain and do ‘real’ jobs like we once knew it: carpenter, electrician, plumber.

[@violetd3487]

I guess there will be less people then--people who can hardly afford anything.

[@bmoshareholderappleshareho855]

If people can't afford things right, then it's going to be much worse. Most people will be living in the streets.

Yeah, its weird. Everyone is so blind to the huge hurdle that'll come, evidenced by the fact that AI is evolving so fast recently. I mean seriously, who would've guessed 5 years ago we could make AI generated videos? Yeah they look terrible but they'll obviously improve.

[@troglodyte6949]

If they become advanced enough they'll even replace humans

[@kevine9474]

For what reason? Machines are as capable for what they're built for. Even a super AI wouldn't do anything because it has no feelings. Even if it was for the betterment of the world why would the AI do that, it wouldn't even try to save itself, because again it has no feelings.

[@gerdaleta]

None there is no human job safe from AI go watch the video humans need not apply the correct analogy is two horses are sitting somewhere in the eighteenth century and are going should we be worried about cars no all the other technology has just made things better for horses we don't even have to fight wars anymore but was the last time you saw a horse with a job the same thing applies to humans better technology doesn't mean better jobs for people
