News India Live, Digital Desk: Nowadays, from tea stall to corporate office canteen, there is only one topic, “Will AI eat my job?” This fear has increased further after the introduction of ChatGPT and various smart tools. Recently, a report by ‘Live Hindustan’ and UK organization NFER has come out, which has confirmed this fear but has also shown a ray of hope. Let us leave aside the technical heavy words and understand in simple language how much threat there is to your livelihood and what you should do now. Red Zone: These jobs are most at risk. The reports clearly indicate that the jobs in which one has to repeat the same thing again and again (Repetitive tasks), will be the first to be handed over to AI. Finance and Admin: According to the report, tasks like office paperwork, secretarial work, basic accounting and book-keeping are going to be hit the most. Millions of such positions may disappear by 2035. Customer Service: Chatbots are now responding faster than humans, hence basic level support jobs are decreasing. Retail and Sales: From billing to basic sales in the showroom, automation is slowly making its place. Junior Coders: Now basic coding is done by AI itself, so the path is difficult for those who only know how to copy-paste. Statistics Talking about it, it is estimated that around 30 lakh (3 Million) jobs may be affected in the coming decade. This may sound scary, but there is another side to the coin.
Green Zone: These jobs are absolutely safe. The matter of relief is that machines have still not become ‘humans’. There are some jobs where your skills are king. Skilled Trades (Artisans): Electricians, plumbers, carpenters, or AC repairmen. A robot can’t come to your house and fix leaks. Demand for these jobs is going to increase. Healthcare and education: Doctors, nurses and teachers. A patient needs empathy along with medicine and a child needs values along with education, which is beyond the reach of AI. Senior Managers and Lawyers: Where big decisions have to be taken and the human mind has to be read, AI remains just an assistant. What should we do now? (The Survival Guide) Friends, there is no time to be afraid, it is time to wake up. AI will take your job only if you do not update yourself. Make friendship, not enmity: Instead of hating AI, make it your tool. If you are a writer, take ideas from AI. If you are a banker, learn data analytics with AI. Soft skills: how to communicate, manage a team, and take decisions in difficult times—these are the skills that machines cannot learn. Learn new: Keep adding one new thing to your skillset. The bottom line is that the future does not belong to those who are afraid, but to those who will adapt to this change. Let the robots do the work, you do what humans do best: think and create!
