Although it has been years since we have heard many stories about the emergence of “robots” and their replacement with “humans”, now with the introduction of “ChatGPT OpenAI” in November last year, the discussion of “artificial intelligence” has become hotter than ever before.

In these circumstances, among all the major economic concerns, one of the most worrying issues is the potential of artificial intelligence and other forms of technology to replace human labor. Some estimates suggest that 47% of current jobs can be replaced by various technologies and artificial intelligence. Even the most conservative estimates show that almost one job out of every 10 is at high risk of automation; even with these cautious estimates, we should expect a seismic shift in the economy.

While there is much evidence of the emergence of robots that have replaced human jobs, it is enough to take a look at the rise of online stores such as “Amazon” and their impact on the decline of traditional retail stores to see the potential for technology and artificial intelligence to eliminate many jobs.

Of course, it must be said that this coin has two sides: robots and artificial intelligence are taking some jobs from humans, but they will also create new jobs. Since 2000 AD, robots and automation systems have slowly replaced many labor forces in production jobs, but on the other hand, it is predicted that artificial intelligence will create 97 million new jobs by 2025 AD.

Doubt and uncertainty about rapid advancements in technology increases widespread anxiety about unemployment caused by the progress of artificial intelligence. For example, currently only 4.1 million Americans are employed in various driving jobs. Now imagine with the advancement of technology and the prevalence of self-driving vehicles, all of these individuals are at risk of unemployment. What matters is the speed of these changes and the adaptation of the workforce to new artificial intelligence technologies. If these technologies evolve gradually over time, the workforce and communities will have a chance to adapt to the new economy; but if these changes happen quickly, a large number of workers without the necessary skills will become unemployed, unable to qualify for other jobs created by these technologies.

Will artificial intelligence replace jobs?

We must accept that even now, artificial intelligence has replaced some jobs and this trend will continue. With the advancement of AI, workers in various industries – from healthcare to agriculture and industry – must all expect to adapt and face various challenges in finding new jobs. On the other hand, it is expected that the demand for technology-related workforce – especially in robotics and software engineering – will increase thanks to artificial intelligence.

Although many experts do not see artificial intelligence as the same thing. For example, Sean Cho, former CEO of the artificial intelligence startup Catalytic AI, considers robots to be stupid and has previously spoken about the failure of the YouTube artificial intelligence robot. Of course, Cho is not alone in his explicit evaluation of robots and artificial intelligence, and many others agree with him on this matter.

However, do not make a mistake; this does not mean that robots are not progressing; it can only be said that their progress is much slower than what some news and media outlets exaggerate to society. This is good news for many who think that robots and other artificial intelligence-based technologies will soon take away their jobs.

Will artificial intelligence replace multiple jobs?

There is a consensus among many experts that some jobs will become completely automated in the next five to ten years.

According to the 2020 “Future of Jobs” report from the World Economic Forum, it is expected that artificial intelligence will replace 85 million jobs worldwide by the year 2025. Although this may seem like a frightening statistic, the report also states that AI will create 97 million new jobs during the same time period.

Kai-Fu Lee, an artificial intelligence expert and CEO of Sinovation Ventures, explained in articles in the year 2018 that 50% of all jobs will be automated by AI within 15 years.

This article states that “accountants, factory workers, truck drivers, lawyers, and radiologists are just a few of the workforce who will face a similar disruption to what farmers experienced during the industrial revolution.”

Taking into account these developments and predictions, and based on multiple studies by institutions such as McKinsey Global Institute, University of Oxford, US Bureau of Labor Statistics, and many others, massive and inevitable changes are on the way. Research shows that both educated workers and blue-collar workers will be affected by the continued implementation of artificial intelligence.

Which jobs are more at risk of being eliminated due to artificial intelligence?

Developments in artificial intelligence tools such as ChatGPT and Bard have raised questions about whether AI will replace jobs that involve writing. In response to this question, it must be said that it is unlikely for AI to ever match human creativity, but currently it is being used as a catalyst for generating ideas and assisting in creating repetitive content.

For example, tasks such as writing formulaic emails, creating social media posts, and responding to customer service requests can be pre-loaded onto artificial intelligence writing tools or chatbots. In some cases, artificial intelligence is used to generate the initial draft, which must then be edited by a human.

When it comes to art and artificial intelligence design, this technology has previously produced works worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. And AI art generators like Midjourney and Dall-E are on the rise. So what does this mean for artists and designers?

Some consider some art produced by artificial intelligence as a tool, while others see it as a threat. Many believe that AI will never reach the level of fame as some human artists, but on the other hand, graphic design and commercial art fields may be influenced by these AI creations; because with the gradual advancement of these tools, they will be able to follow specific design guidelines.

But what other jobs are at risk of elimination or major changes due to the advancement of artificial intelligence?

• Technical jobs (coders, computer programmers, software engineers, data analysts).

Coding and computer programming are highly demanded skills in today’s technological era, but it is possible that chatbots and artificial intelligence tools will replace some of the workforce in these fields in the near future.

According to experts, due to the high accuracy of artificial intelligence tools such as chatbots in working with numbers, individuals in technical professions such as software development, web development, computer programming, coding, and data analysis are at the highest risk of job elimination caused by artificial intelligence.

In fact, it can be said that with the advancements in technology, such as chatbots, code can be generated faster than humans. The use of artificial intelligence in this field can accelerate and optimize tasks.

Currently, many technology companies, including OpenAI, the creator of GPT-3 chatbot, are exploring the replacement of software engineers with artificial intelligence.

However, some experts believe that artificial intelligence helps to replace coders for more accurate and efficient work.

“GPT and similar forms of artificial intelligence are being used more frequently because AI has the ability to read, write, and understand text-based data effectively.”

Analysis and interpretation of a large volume of data and information based on linguistic skills is expected to be enhanced by artificial intelligence technologies..

According to some experts, it is possible that chatbots can perform tasks such as report writing and writing more efficiently than humans..

The media industry has now begun to experiment with content produced by artificial intelligence. For example, the technology news site CNET has used a similar AI tool to chat with Giphy to write dozens of articles, and BuzzFeed has used chatbot technology to generate new forms of content such as quizzes and travel guides.

However, it must be said that in jobs that deal with content, although artificial intelligence helps a lot, ultimately the skill and judgment of specialized forces is always needed to edit and publish the content produced by artificial intelligence.

• Legal jobs (legal expert, legal assistant).

According to a recent report by the American company Goldman Sachs, artificial intelligence generators may likely have an impact on legal workforce in the United States.

Manaou Raj, the author of the Goldmann study, says that the number of jobs in the legal services sector is relatively low and even before the emergence of new artificial intelligence tools, these jobs were heavily exposed to artificial intelligence automation.

Like media jobs, workers in the legal industry – including lawyers and legal assistants – must also combine a great deal of information with what they have learned and, after analysis, present it in the form of a summary or legal opinion in an understandable manner.

According to experts, language-based jobs are at high risk of automation and elimination; because the information and data they require are structured and highly language-oriented, making them perfectly compatible with artificial intelligence generators.

But again, it must be noted that artificial intelligence will not be able to fully automate these jobs and will only help optimize them; because in order to understand this,

• Market Research Analyst

Artificial intelligence performs very well in data analysis and predicting results; that’s why market researchers may be at risk of significant changes based on artificial intelligence.

Market research analysts are responsible for collecting data, identifying trends in that data, and then using what they have found to design an effective marketing campaign or make decisions about the right place and time for advertising. These are exactly the things that we now see artificial intelligence can handle well.

• Teaching and education.

With the emergence of chatbots, many teachers are worried about students using this artificial intelligence tool to cheat on their assignments, but it seems they should also consider their job security at the same time.

According to experts, currently…

Jeepiti can easily teach in classes. Although this tool has some flaws and inaccuracies in terms of knowledge, it can easily be improved with more training.

Although the other side of the coin has also been favorable for teachers in terms of artificial intelligence; so that many of them have benefited from the emergence of the Jeepti chat tool. 

They use it to improve their curriculum planning and teaching methods.

Many experts also believe that despite remarkable advancements in artificial intelligence, there will always be a need for teachers and human interaction in the field of education, which is achieved through in-person teaching.

• Financial jobs (financial analysts, personal financial advisors).

Like market researchers, financial analysts, personal financial advisors, and other professions in personal finance that require working with significant amounts of numerical data, can be influenced by artificial intelligence.

Artificial intelligence can identify market trends, determine which investments are performing better or worse in a portfolio, share all of them, and then use various other data sources, such as financial company data, to predict a better investment mix.

• Trading (Trade).

Experts say that chatbots can improve jobs in a wide range of industries – from Wall Street to commerce and investment banking. This can automate specific tasks that specialized employees are currently involved in, allowing these skilled workers to focus on more valuable tasks.

Although some experts believe that some jobs on Wall Street may be at serious risk of elimination. For example, in an investment bank, specialized and educated individuals are hired and spend two or three years mastering a job that artificial intelligence can now handle well.

• Graphic design.

In the month of December, Harvard Business Review published articles in which three university professors referred to DeepAI (an artificial intelligence tool that can generate images or visuals in a matter of seconds) as a potential disruption in the graphic design industry. According to these experts, the increase in skills of millions of people in creating and manipulating images will have a profound impact on the economy. These recent advancements in artificial intelligence will surely bring about periods of difficulty and economic pain for some individuals whose jobs are at risk of being eliminated. These individuals will be directly affected by these tools and may have a hard time adapting to them.

On the other hand, artificial intelligence tools such as…
