Remember in 2017, Elon Musk that artificial intelligence would replace humanity in the next five years? While working on artificial intelligence for Tesla cars, he concluded that society had approached the moment when artificial intelligence could become significantly smarter than people. said '' Musk . He must know what he's talking about, being one of the early investors of DeepMind, a Google subsidiary that developed an AI that could beat humans at Go and chess. "People should not underestimate the power of the computer, said "This is pride and an obvious mistake." AI is really good at many "human" tasks — diagnosing diseases, translating languages, and serving customers. But as the application of AI expands, more and more people are if it will eliminate the importance of human skills and experience in various tasks. Will we hand over all the responsibilities to robots and intelligent machines in the coming decades? Read on to find out more. wondering Is Artificial Intelligence Replacing Human Responsibilities? Engineers and scientists have already done a lot of work to teach technologies to mimic the human mind's processes and have made significant progress along the way. AI has already surpassed human intelligence in some tasks, from games to problem-solving. Here are some examples of how AI has outperformed us in our inventions. The Deep Blue Computer has Been a Better Chess Player Since 1997 The most famous battle between Deep Blue and the world chess champion Garry Kasparov occurred in 1997, although some experts believe the computer had an unfair advantage. And while the computer system used to defeat Kasparov is not technically "smart," we cannot deny that it has surpassed the human ability to analyze chess moves and choose the right one. A Data Engine Analyzes Data More Effectively Than Humans Data drives much of what we do, from analyzing election results to developing healthcare solutions. Reportedly, people who build models that explain and predict patterns in the ocean of "big data" are in short supply. But that may not matter due to the development of computer software that proves to be better than humans. MIT's data science machine can automatically generate predictive data models from raw datasets in as little as 2-12 hours. It can take several months for a team of data scientists to complete the same task. AI is Smarter and Faster in Visual Recognition Visual recognition is used in applications as diverse as facial recognition in photo storage applications and the analysis of shared social media images to improve marketing. Any object recognition task is likely to be completed faster and more efficiently by a robot than by a human. Warehouse AI Never Needs a Respite Robots are undeniably better at repetitive tasks than humans. Amazon was the first major logistics retailer to adopt robotics and now owns 30,000 so-called Amazon robots, which it uses in its US warehouses. And all this happens because: Computers are Less Error-Prone Than Humans Humans make mistakes, but not computers. They receive instructions and execute them exactly as written in the code. It is extremely important for such tasks as data entry, where a typo can lead to chaos. Therefore, AI can perfectly perform work that requires copying, pasting, transcribing, and typing. AI Doesn't Get Bored Lack of rest, boredom from repetitive tasks, even "hanging out" are purely human problems. For example, staying up all night or being stressed affects your performance the next day. On the contrary, computers never need to sleep, rest, or have fun. No matter what, their operational capabilities are the same (unless we turn the power off). This is what the machines were made for. AI Machines Can Perform Dangerous Tasks Jobs such as mining, factory work, and machine assembly expose workers to danger. Whether it's extreme temperatures at work, hazardous fumes, or falling objects, there will always be circumstances and situations in which people can be seriously injured or killed. People can use AI in manufacturing to improve the efficiency of processes and protect people from industrial harm. Opportunities for using AI and machine learning in manufacturing include logistics optimization, product development, predictive maintenance, and, of course, robotics. While machines can also be injured or crushed while performing hazardous work, they are not as fragile and are built to withstand enormous pressure, heat, airborne toxins, and other threats. AI Machines are Cheaper in the Long Run While the initial costs of building and training an AI machine are high, the total operating price is much lower than paying a human for the same job. Only electricity and periodic maintenance are required to use the machine. Recruiting a person for a job requires resources to find and train them, not to mention paying an annual salary and benefits. Billion-Dollar Prospects for AI Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt believes we’re in In the third quarter of alone, $18 billion was invested in artificial intelligence companies, an absolute record. The global artificial intelligence (AI) software market will reach approximately $126 billion by 2025. Take a look at the statistics based on forecasts for the period from 2018 to 2030, by segment: “the golden age of investing in AI.” 2021 Logistics, packaging, and materials ($31 billion); AI analytics ($70 billion); Autonomous cars ($87 billion); Robo advisor ($255 billion). This capital influx is a sign that investors believe in the potential of AI, and they bet that it will eventually automate many jobs instead of creating value with machines. If you don't use AI, you are at a disadvantage. To date, AI can be divided into three categories. More routine tasks are already being delegated to weak AI, also known as narrow AI. It is trained and focused solely on a specific task. For example, a weak AI is suitable for playing chess, but it cannot transfer this intelligence to another domain. , , are also examples of weak AI. Google Assistant Apple's Siri Amazon's Alexa General AI is a hypothetical form of AI. A machine would have an intelligence equal to that of a human; it would have a self-aware mind capable of learning, solving problems, and planning for the future. Super AI is predicted to surpass human abilities, becoming smarter than humans in several areas. Super AI is still a completely theoretical concept with no practical use cases. But if that computing power doubles every two years is correct, then by 2025, humanity will create a supercomputer with computing power equal to the human brain. Moore's law Will Artificial Intelligence Take Away Jobs? Introducing AI and advanced technologies suggest that, in the long term, machines will become even more refined and processes even smarter. Therefore, experts agree that AI will fully automate many professions in 5-10 years. However, the problem is that this can lead to a reduction in the number of jobs. This is already happening: technology is replacing humans in the workplace in manufacturing, service delivery, recruitment, and the financial industry, causing human workers to move into low-wage jobs or become unemployed. According to the World Economic Forum report, AI will replace 85 million jobs globally by . Large-scale and inevitable changes are coming. But many of them are not catastrophic. The same report also states that it will create 97 million new jobs in the same field that will require more complex and less routine skills. 2025 Jobs that have Been Replaced by Machines The fact that AI automates jobs in every industry is no longer news -  technology has been replacing humans in the workplace for many years now. So, what jobs are affected by AI? Assemblers and Factory Workers Computer-controlled assembly and industrial robots can assemble automobiles and other products and have been in use since the late 1950s. Today, almost all large manufacturing plants use robots to produce millions of different products efficiently and inexpensively. Telephone Operators, Telemarketers, and Administrators We have all experienced getting automatic phone calls. As voice recognition and speech synthesis become more progressive, it's becoming easier for companies to implement these systems, and it's getting harder for people to know if they're talking to a real person. Cashiers Today, there are self-service checkouts in most grocery stores. Although one person still supervises these computers, this person does work that previously required several people. Bank Employees and Clerks In the past, banks used to have many employees. Today, a part of the staff has been replaced by ATMs that allow you to deposit and withdraw money from the bank without actually talking to a live employee. Financial institutions will soon become even more automated as more people switch to digital currencies like bitcoin and conduct their financial transactions using their smartphones. Information Gatherers, Analysts, and Researchers Law firms are replacing paralegals and other staff with e-discovery lawyers and research robots. These robots can browse through millions of documents and find relevant facts, phone numbers, email addresses, and additional information based on keywords. For example, medical imaging startup has connected an artificial intelligence system to automate part of the medical image analysis process. On a CT scan, Lung-Sight can automatically detect and localize signs of disease, while Breast-Sight identifies and measures the metastatic area in a tissue sample. Imsight Theorists The creation of hypotheses has long been a purely human domain. However, now scientists use machine learning to get original ideas. For example, a neural network has determined that the density of the structure of the mammary glands contributes to cancer recurrence. While it couldn't explain why, it helped Case Western Reserve University biomedical engineering professor and colleagues better understand how tumor growth progresses, leading to new directions for future research. Anant Madabhushi Support Managers Customer service executives do not demand a high level of social or emotional intelligence. Therefore, many companies now rely on AI to answer frequently asked questions and customer support questions. According to the World Intelligence Congress, by , AI, virtual personal assistants, and chatbots will replace almost 69% of managers' workloads. 2024 Manufacturing and Pharmaceutical Workers This sector is probably the biggest area where people fear AI will take over jobs. As soon as the manufacturing process for most goods produced today gets mechanized, the operational aspect will also be handled by AI. Robots can work alongside scientists, even in pharmaceutical labs, providing a safer environment. Scientists will no longer put their lives at risk. By the way, , an artificial intelligence laboratory in London, has recently that instantly determines the shape of proteins in the human body, which is a key part of the development of new drugs and vaccines. This task once took scientists months or even years. DeepMind created a system These are not all the industries in which AI is replacing jobs; many more are. And all these "smart" systems in communities, vehicles, buildings, utilities, farms, and business processes offer important benefits that we cannot underestimate. They save time, money, and lives and give people the opportunity to focus on more interesting and important tasks. Why Shouldn't We Be Afraid of AI? Despite all these incredible possibilities, artificial intelligence is still at its early stage of development. Everything we see today is only a harbinger of a much smarter and more intelligent version that is yet to come. And that is why we can be sure that today's AI will still not be able to replace humans in many areas. Although machines can mimic human behavior to some extent, their knowledge of rational decision-making, like ours, may not be sufficient. Machines with artificial intelligence make decisions based on events and their connection. However, they lack common sense, free will, opinion, and creativity, so they can only produce results for their programmed purpose. AI systems are clueless about understanding "cause" and "effect." Meanwhile, real-world scenarios require a holistic human approach. Therefore, many professions will require unique human qualities called "soft skills" — empathy, communication, strategic thinking, questions, creativity, imagination, vision, and dreams. These soft skills will always be the hard currency in the labor market, so many professions will not disappear even after AI replaces jobs. We are talking about those that require creation, conceptualization, integrated management of strategic planning, precise hand-eye coordination, working with "unknown and unstructured spaces," and feeling or interacting "with empathy and compassion." And until artificial intelligence has evolved to the stage of developing machines that can engage, interact, think, adapt, and respond the same way as people, such intelligent machines cannot completely replace human resources. The List of Jobs that AI Will Not Replace While AI has already taken on many labor-intensive tasks, it cannot reproduce human emotions and behaviors that are so important in certain industries and fields. Therefore, some professions will be in demand even after the widespread introduction of automation. HR Managers This area will grow by 9% by as companies grow and need robust structures to support and assist employees. Therefore, human resource departments will always need someone to manage interpersonal conflicts with soft skills unavailable to AI. 2024 Marketing Managers The tasks of marketing managers include interpreting data, tracking trends, monitoring campaigns, and creating content. They must also quickly adapt and respond to changes and feedback from the rest of the company and customers, which even the most advanced AI is not capable of yet. Writers When OpenAI taught the GPT-3 AI to answer questions using Bing search, the resulting answers turned out to be better quality than those of humans. Also, with the help of machine learning, AI has mastered one of the most unusual tasks — the restoration of speech from a video. Engineers trained the neural network on over 2,400 hours of various speeches in different languages, and as a result, a model was developed that in English and Chinese. transcribes videos However, writers must conceive and create original written materials "for people." And while AI does a pretty good job of creating content for automated social media posts, still books, movies, and plays are likely to be written by humans for the foreseeable future. Software developers One promising AI idea has already turned into a business: with pen and paper, with a front-end notepad playing the lead role. creating websites But those AIs designed to help developers are still making mistakes and do not fully understand the code, so everything will remain the same in the major field of creating software. However, with the help of AI, highly skilled developers can get rid of routine work and focus on more creative processes. And novice or low-skilled developers can use AI programs, particularly , as a starting point. Copilot Graphic Designers Due to AI, people have discovered new ways to interact with drawings, videos, and photos. For example, AI is great at manipulating and editing images based on users' thumbnails. And Meta AI rolled out a cool demo that can revive and animate children's drawing — from a straw man to incomprehensible mojibake. However, this is not enough to completely entrust this task to AI, and in design, it can only be assistive technology. Event Organizers Since planners must coordinate and negotiate with vendors, contractors, and freelancers to achieve alignment, these organizational and HR skills will make this another almost impossible task to automate. Editors While automated proofreading technologies such as can take some of the burdens off, editors should check submissions by authors for clarity, accuracy, completeness, and originality. Only a human can evaluate a text written for people, not machines. However, he may use software that checks on readability and scans for plagiarism. Grammarly Conclusion Don't forget that AI is an invention of the human mind. Full automation of various tasks today is possible due to the human imagination. And we can be sure that AI systems have not yet reached the technical maturity to take over humanity at the moment.
