We are on the high cliff of something both revolutionary and terrifying in a world that is rapidly moving toward automation and artificial intelligence (AI). Revelation comes in hand. Microsoft researchers published the study guide list of jobs and careers that will be laid off in the near future because of Artificial Intelligence.
The company names low to highest AI applicability score, like helpers, machine operators and nurse assistants are more likely to be not easy to be replaced, while journalist, historians, PR jobs and analysts careers are along with the highest occupational subject to be terminated by AI. According to the tech company Microsoft.
What many feared is confirmed by a recent study conducted by Microsoft researchers: AI is already starting to replace and change human labor. Today's jobs are not guaranteed to exist tomorrow. And moreover, the question is not whether AI will impact us; it has already done so. The true query is: How can we welcome the future without allowing it to shatter us? A growing global concern is reflected in Microsoft's study.
AI is replacing human jobs in manufacturing floors and media rooms at a rate that is faster than workforce retraining and policy responses. In the Philippine context with quarterly high reports of unemployment rate, with a complex of high inflation and poverty in a third world country, and most tagged in South East Asia when it comes to corruption, how do the authorities react? As nations battle underemployment and unemployment, this technological disruption may widen the divide between.
Now, what? I think, and you think? How can we help to make it more further noticeable? This is the time to campaign to the lawmakers around the world to pass legislation to counter the emerging system threatening the human notion, its present and future.
