So, I asked AI if AI was a job killer, and this is what it came up with: AI is more accurately described as a job transformer rather than a pure killer, acting as a tool that automates routine tasks while creating new roles. While it threatens to automate 300 million full-time jobs, it simultaneously boosts productivity and sparks new job creation. The impact is a mix of displacement and augmentation.
Key Aspects of AI’s Impact on Jobs:
Automation of Tasks: AI, particularly Generative AI, excels at routine, data-heavy, and repetitive tasks, making roles like data entry, basic customer service, and certain administrative positions vulnerable.
Job Augmentation: Rather than replacing, AI often complements human labor, allowing workers to focus on strategic, creative, and interpersonal tasks, leading to higher productivity.
New Job Creation: AI drives demand for new roles, including AI trainers, supervisors, and specialists in machine learning.
Transition Challenges: While new jobs are created, the transition requires significant reskilling and upskilling, as workers must adapt to working alongside intelligent machines.
Which Jobs Are Most Affected? At Risk: Call center operators, cashiers, data entry clerks, and some entry-level white-collar roles (e.g., paralegals) are highly exposed.
Complimentary: Roles requiring complex human judgment, high-level creativity, and deep emotional intelligence are less susceptible to full automation.
While some studies suggest a net positive effect on employment due to productivity gains, others highlight significant short-term disruption and anxiety regarding AI as a "job killer".


Of course AI is going to be programmed to say that. What's it going to say "Kill All Humans..." Oh wait!
ReplyDeleteTechnology has always improved lives, initially, then the other side of it is used by governments and big tech to make our lives miserable and under their control.
ReplyDeleteAI isn't actually here yet so bear in mind what is called AI, because it sounds sexy, is machine learning and excellent programmers. So we say AI because it is recognised.
AI won't replace everyone initially. We are at the stage where AI is used as a tool and undoubtedly some jobs will go because f it and these will be at the lower end of the scale. As it improves it will go up the pay scales and skill levels.
The biggest change though will be in robotics. We can see fast food staff, entry jobs, being replaced by robots already and the robots are not that good. In a few short years robots will be much better and more of use. Then the food sector, care sector, shops and manufacturing jobs will just disappear with nothing to replace them. Humans will simply not be required. If you are not working you can't afford cars, holidays and hobbys. So those jobs will go too. Very few jobs will be required as most will not be buying anything. Only the rich will and they won't want much.
This is why our governments are trying to kill us. Mandating killer vaccines, reducing our ability to make food, clamping down on dissent. They need the general population reduced by 90% and that won't happen in a democracy. Luckily for them we don't have democracies as ours are a sham.
