Fear of AI: Are we really going to lose our jobs? Know who is safe and who is at risk – ..
News India Live, Digital Desk: These days, from the tea stall to the 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 is there to your livelihood and what you should do now.
Red Zone: These jobs are most at risk
Reports are clearly indicating that the tasks which require repeating 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. Lakhs of such posts may disappear by 2035.
- Customer Service: Chatbots are now responding faster than humans, so basic level support jobs are decreasing.
- Retail and Sales: From billing to basic sales in showrooms, automation is slowly making its place.
- Junior Coders: Now basic coding is done by AI itself, so it is difficult for those who only know how to copy-paste.
Talking about statistics, it is estimated that in the coming decade approximately 30 lakhs (3 Million) Jobs may be affected. This may sound scary, but there is another side to the coin.
✅ Green Zone: These jobs are absolutely safe
It is a matter of relief that machines have still not become ‘human’. There are some jobs where your skill is king.
- Skilled Trade (Artisan): Electrician, plumber, carpenter, or AC repairman. A robot can’t come to your house and fix leaks. The demand for these works is going to increase.
- Healthcare and Education: Doctors, nurses and teachers. The patient needs sympathy along with medicine and the 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 from AI.
- soft skills: How to communicate, manage a team, and take decisions in difficult times—these are skills that machines cannot learn.
- Learn New: Keep adding one new thing to your skill.
The conclusion is that the future does not belong to those who are afraid, but to those who will adjust to this change. Let the robots do the work, you do what humans do best Think and create!
