The Top 10 Jobs that AI Could Replace Soon | Vantage with Palki Sharma | N18G

Summary

In the video, the impact of AI on the workforce is explored, highlighting how technology has replaced manual jobs over time and continues to reshape industries. Microsoft's recent report reveals which jobs are most at risk, including translators, historians, writers, and customer service roles. However, some professions, especially those requiring human touch and physical labor, like healthcare and manual work, remain safe. The key message is that while AI is replacing tasks, the future belongs to those who adapt and work with it, not those who fear it.

Takeaways

• 😀 AI has drastically reduced the number of people working in agriculture, from 25% in 1930 to under 2% today.
• 😀 Technology doesn't just assist; it redefines industries, as seen in the evolution from tractors to AI in farming.
• 😀 Microsoft’s recent report analyzed 200,000 AI chats to explore whether artificial intelligence will replace human jobs.
• 😀 AI applicability scores were created to determine how closely real-life jobs align with tasks AI already excels at.
• 😀 Jobs at highest risk from AI include translators, historians, writers, customer service reps, and sales representatives.
• 😀 AI is already highly effective in tasks like translating languages, summarizing information, and writing content.
• 😀 Jobs like news analysts, reporters, technical writers, and market researchers are also at risk due to AI’s ability to process and analyze data efficiently.
• 😀 AI is not replacing people but rather tasks, especially in white-collar roles that involve writing, analysis, and customer interaction.
• 😀 Certain jobs, like healthcare professionals, manual laborers, and those requiring physical touch, are safer from AI replacement.
• 😀 The key to surviving AI disruption is adaptation, learning to work with AI, and focusing on uniquely human skills like empathy and communication.

Q & A

What was the percentage of Americans working in agriculture in 1930 compared to today?

In 1930, 25% of Americans worked in agriculture, while today it's under 2%. This shift highlights the impact of technological advancements.

How has technology evolved in the context of agriculture?

In the past, agriculture was primarily assisted by tractors. Today, technology like AI, specifically tools such as ChatGPT, is becoming integral to the field, redefining how work is done.

What report did Microsoft release, and what was its main focus?

Microsoft released a report analyzing over 200,000 AI chats from Bing Copilot. The report aimed to explore whether AI will replace jobs and, if so, which jobs are most at risk.

What is an AI applicability score, and how was it used in the Microsoft report?

An AI applicability score is a way of measuring how closely real-life jobs align with tasks AI already performs well, such as writing, researching, and summarizing. This helped identify which jobs are at high risk of being replaced by AI.

Which job is most at risk according to the Microsoft report?

Translators and interpreters are considered the most at risk, as AI excels in language tasks like real-time translation through tools like Google Translate and Duolingo.

What other jobs are at risk from AI according to the report?

Other jobs at risk include historians, writers and authors, customer service representatives, sales representatives, proofreaders and editors, news analysts, technical writers, market research analysts, and data scientists.

Why are jobs like translators, writers, and customer service representatives vulnerable to AI?

These jobs involve tasks that AI can perform efficiently, such as processing language, writing, and handling basic inquiries without needing breaks or forgetfulness, making them highly susceptible to automation.

Which jobs are considered safe from AI replacement, and why?

Jobs in healthcare, physical labor (e.g., housekeepers, repair workers), and roles requiring human touch (e.g., massage therapists, doctors, and surgeons) are considered safe because they involve physical movement and human empathy, which AI and robots struggle with.

What is the main reason why manual labor jobs are considered safer from AI replacement?

Manual labor jobs are safer because they require physical tasks and human interaction, areas where current AI and robots still face significant limitations.

What should people do to prepare for the AI-driven future of work?

People should focus on adapting to AI by learning to work with it. This includes developing human-centered skills like communication, empathy, and decision-making, which AI cannot replicate.
