AI to Reshape Jobs: In the era in which we live today, Artificial Intelligence is not only a term referring to a technology, but it is actually slowly transforming our lives and our way of working and living.
It is present everywhere, from the office to the factories, from education to business, and so on and so forth. In this context, it is only imperative and pertinent to ask about the jobs which would manifest themselves in the future? The World Economic Forum (WEF) has put forth a report on this topic and how it would look by the year 2030.
What is included in WEF Report?
This new white paper from WEF is named “Four Futures for Jobs in the New Economy: AI and Talent in 2030.” This report discusses how AI to Reshape Jobs can change jobs at a global scale in the next few years. According to this paper, it is seen that AI effects are not restricted to particular jobs but all jobs.
How is AI going to change how we work?
The report, on the other hand, says AI does not come only to displace humans but to make their work easier and faster. In most areas, AI will be handling the redundant tasks while humans are free to create and think strategically.
But there is another side of the coin. Those jobs that do not require any skill upgrades may increase unemployment, particularly those that fall behind when it comes to learning new technologies.
Images of Four Possible Futures
The WEF report describes four different futures, each of which explains the direction that the relationship between AI and humans is going to take. In the case of some scenarios, AI will enhance growth and employment, whereas in other scenarios, technology would progress rapidly, but people will suffer from a lack of skills.
According to the report, the real difference will lie in how soon governments, companies, and educational institutions focus on teaching people new skills.
What does it mean for countries such as India?
The significance of this report is immense for a young generation-country like India. With the growth of skills, this technology can create employment for millions. However, with lack of appropriate growth for skills, this technology may also result in unemployment.
The importance of digital skills, data analytics, AI training, and technology-related education will be significant in the future.
The future is not about fear, but about adoption.
From this report by WEF, it is evident that AI is not a threat but rather an opportunity. The difference is how we are able to capitalize on this opportunity.
If people are able to prepare themselves in good time for this new age, AI will be more than ready to provide better and more respectable jobs. Today, the task is not to fear change but to understand it and move forward with the change.
