AI, short for artificial intelligence, refers to the intelligence demonstrated by machines. It has seen significant advancements and is likely to replace certain jobs in the future based on factors such as cost, efficiency, and accuracy. Here are the ten most likely jobs that will eventually be taken over by AI:
1. Advertisement Sales Reps: With the shift towards digital advertising, salespeople are becoming less necessary as most ads are now purchased through APIs or direct marketplaces.
2. Bookkeepers: Programs like QuickBooks are already phasing out the need for bookkeepers as they are cheaper and more efficient.
3. Compensation and Benefits Managers: Human Capital Managers who handle benefits and payroll may be replaced by services like Ultipro due to the challenges of managing these tasks manually.
4. Computer Support Specialists: Tech support is moving towards automation with troubleshooting utilities, helpdesk tools, and chat bots. However, there is still a projected growth rate for this job.
5. Couriers: Companies like Amazon are already using drones and robots for deliveries. Although complete automation may take time, using drones could eventually become more cost-effective.
6. Market Research Analysts: While this job is less likely to be replaced, advancements like GrowthBot and survey apps make it easier for companies to gather market research data for free.
7. Proofreaders: Digital proofreading tools and paraphrasing programs are becoming more advanced, reducing the need for manual proofreading.
8. Receptionists: With the decline of landlines and the availability of scheduling software, the need for receptionists has diminished.
9. Retail Workers: Self-checkouts and customer research have reduced the need for retail workers who assist customers with product selection.
10. Telemarketers: Cold calls have shifted to cold emails and with low conversion rates, the use of robocalls may eventually replace human telemarketers.
As AI technology continues to advance, these jobs are likely to be automated, making it important for workers in these fields to adapt and acquire new skills.
