The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence has raised concerns about its potential to disrupt various industries and job markets, putting many careers at risk of automation. To mitigate this risk, individuals can adapt by acquiring new skills, focusing on roles that require creativity, empathy, and complex problem-solving, and staying informed about the evolving landscape of AI technologies and their impact on their respective fields.
Tech Jobs (Data Analysts, Software Engineers, Programmers, And Coders)
With ChatGPT’s capacity for precise number-crunching, artificial intelligence (AI) tools might cover skills shortages in data science, computer programming, and coding. Sophisticated tools such as ChatGPT have the potential to generate code more quickly than human beings, enabling the completion of tasks with fewer workers. AI is being considered by tech companies such as OpenAI to replace software engineers; however, Oded Netzer, a professor at Columbia Business School, thinks AI would benefit programmers rather than displace them. He believes that since AI can write programs well, it can improve jobs in several ways.
Media Careers (Content Creating, Journalism, Advertising, Writing)
Artificial intelligence (AI) can read, write, and process text-based data, which allows it to analyze and interpret vast amounts of data. According to economist Paul Krugman, ChatGPT might be more effective than humans at jobs like writing and reporting. The tech news sites CNET and BuzzFeed are two examples of how the media industry has begun experimenting with AI-generated content. CNET uses ChatGPT to compose articles, while BuzzFeed uses it to create new content formats. However, most content creators’ labor cannot be automated, and their professions depend heavily on human judgment.
Jobs In The Legal Sector (Paralegals, Legal Assistants)
Careers in the legal sector that involve absorbing and synthesizing a lot of data into legal documents or opinions include paralegals and legal assistants. These language-focused jobs can be automated because of their data organization. However, AI cannot wholly automate these tasks because of human judgment. Notwithstanding, adopting upgraded tools for the job may lead to increased productivity in some occupations.
Teachers
Pengcheng Shi, a deputy dean in the information technology and computer sciences department at Rochester Institute of Technology, suggests that although teachers nationwide are concerned about kids utilizing ChatGPT to cheat on their schoolwork, they should also be worried about their job security. ChatGPT “can effectively teach courses already,” Shi said to the New York Post.”While it has errors and mistakes in terms of its accuracy, this can be simply improved,” he stated. “Essentially, you just need to teach the ChatGPT.”
Market Research Specialists
According to Muro, AI is adept at data analysis and forecasting outcomes. Because of this, researchers may be vulnerable to changes brought about by AI. Market research professionals gather information, spot patterns in that data, and use their findings to create successful marketing campaigns or choose where to run advertisements. “Those are tasks we’re discovering that AI could do,” Muro stated.
Traders
Shi of the Rochester Institute of Technology also hinted to the New York Post that some Wall Street positions might be in danger. “At an investment firm, workers are recruited out of universities and spend one or two years working like robots and doing Excel simulation — AI can do that now,” he stated.
Jobs In Finance (Financial Analysts, Private Financial Advisors, Etc.)
According to Muro, a researcher at The Brookings Institute, AI may impact positions in personal finance that entail manipulating substantial volumes of numerical data, such as market research experts, analysts, private financial counselors, and others. AI can detect trends in market behavior, identify which assets in a portfolio are doing well and poorly, explain all that, and subsequently use various kinds of data by, say, a banking institution to forecast a better investment blend,” Muro stated. He mentioned that although these experts have high incomes, some of their work may be done by machines.
Accountants
Although most people consider accounting a stable job, workers in this field could be in danger. According to Brett Caraway, an assistant professor at the University of Toronto’s Institute of Communication, Culture, Information, and Technology, “Information technology hasn’t put everyone out of a job yet, but it is putting a few individuals out of employment already,” he stated last week on Global News Radio 640 Toronto. In particular, Caraway said, “intellectual labor” might be in danger. “This could be legal professionals, accountants,” he stated. “It is exciting, and it will be intriguing to see just how intrusive and terrible it is to jobs and politics.”
Graphic Designers
Three academicians highlighted DALL-E. According to a post published in the Harvard Business Review in December, this AI tool can create images in seconds and is a possible disruptor of the graphic design sector. “Upskilling thousands of people in how well they can generate and manipulate images will have a major effect on the economy,” they wrote. They added that “these latest developments in AI will usher in an era of difficulties and financial suffering for some whose jobs are directly affected and who find it challenging to adapt.”
Customer Support Agents
You have likely already called or chatted with a customer support agent from a business and received an automated response. ChatGPT and associated technologies may continue this trend. According to a 2022 report by tech research firm Gartner, in 2027, chatbots would account for about 25% of customer care channels in businesses.
