Do you believe that you can be replaced by a machine? With the emergence of ChatGPT, this question has become increasingly important regarding what Artificial Intelligence (AI) can or cannot replace.
Experts believe that this idea is not so far-fetched. That’s because automation is expanding, and this time, it’s white-collar workers who could feel the impact.
But there’s no need to panic just yet. After all, this is just a projection for now, and AI won’t completely drive us out of the workplace. Instead, it’s bringing changes that we should prepare for.
With AI giants like ChatGPT and Midjourney, robots can write poetry, create portraits, and even program software faster than us.
However, they cannot replicate our critical thinking, creativity or morality. Even so, experts warn of some areas that could be changed by AI.
See now which professions will be “threatened” by the arrival of artificial intelligence and which could change the entire format of work.
1. Drivers
Autonomous vehicles are not yet a reality in Brazil, but there is a first time for everything. Experts point to the possibility of their greater presence in the future. This trend could have a huge impact on professionals such as delivery drivers, truck drivers and taxi drivers.
2. Researchers
With automated labs capable of leading simple experiments and writing research papers, some lab professionals may feel threatened.
However, while AI can perform a variety of tasks, human guidance is still essential to producing high-quality research.
3. Writers
Response-generating AIs, like ChatGPT, have the ability to produce text quickly, which could have a major impact on jobs related to content creation, journalism, and advertising.
However, while AI can help with research and information summarization, creating engaging narratives and fact-checking are still skills that are unique to humans.
4. Legal workers
AI has the potential to speed up tasks such as legal research, which could reduce the demand for legal assistants.
Even so, it will still be essential to have a lawyer present to interpret the information and present the case. The difference is that AI can reduce the amount of work required when preparing cases.
5. Programmers
While AI is capable of writing programs, using its training on vast repositories of code, this does not mean the end of programmers.
With AI, programmers have the opportunity to become twice as productive, which can result in a potential reduction in programming costs and, consequently, increased demand.
6. Customer Service
AI is capable of taking over customer service tasks, but it’s important to note that many customers still prefer to interact with a human representative.
Furthermore, AI will likely be used to enhance the efficiency of real-world professionals rather than replace them completely.
