**TL;DR - Yes, as AI advances it will make some jobs redundant. However, it is important to be aware of how it will also create jobs too!** I think it is a hard pill to swallow, but I believe it be somewhat true, AI will take over many jobs. As more intelligence develops, the need for many human powered jobs will become redundant. However I think we need to see the positives about this. Yes, many jobs will be taken over but at the same time many will be created. There are [jobs that will exist that] (https://builtin.com/artificial-intelligence/ai-replacing-jobs-creating-jobs) we have no idea about yet. You cannot accurately predict what jobs will be created in the future. We are a long way of complete AI takeover, humans are still important in the job world. We have seen throughout lockdown that people miss working, jobs for humans are important and it will not be completely taken over by AI. In addition to this Emotional Intelligence is something that is hard to programme. Human emotional intelligence and rationale is a great quality that AI does not have. I think there is a need not to panic on this one. AI is very quickly developing, but it is not going to completely take over the entire job market.

**AI will inevitably, and has already begun, replacing jobs in several key industries. Yet, there are also industries, one in particular being philosophy, in which AI will struggle to assume the roles of due to arguments that machines cannot think, at least in the way humans can.** Mark Cuban, billionaire entrepaneur encompasses this argument, stating: “We are going through the process where software will automate software, automation will automate automation. I would not want to be a CPA right now. I would not want to be an accountant right now. I would rather be a philosophy major. Knowing how to critically think and assess them from a global perspective I think is going to be more valuable than what we see as exciting careers today, which might be programming or CPA or those types of things.” (https://futurism.com/mark-cuban-tech-will-advance-more-in-the-next-decade-than-it-did-in-the-last-three) We have begun seeing AI and before then machines in general replace manual jobs and their efficiency in these fields has and will continue to leave the role of humans redundant. With the advancement of each new generation of AI, we see that even professions such as doctors, artists, and actors may be at stake, with AI now being able to [predict diagnoses](https://arxiv.org/abs/1511.05942), create [paintings](https://www.christies.com/features/A-collaboration-between-two-artists-one-human-one-a-machine-9332-1.aspx) and [music](https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2010/jul/11/david-cope-computer-composer) using math and [replace actors](https://www.creativebloq.com/features/deepfake-examples) in movies without the need for them to be present. However, with one job AI cannot take is that of the philosopher. There are several reasons for this, but essentially all stemming from the premise that a machine cannot think, at least in the way a human can. Philosophy is necessary to exist as distinct from the jobs adopted by AI in order to assess issues of morality concerning AI which AI cannot assess of itself, not simply because it is a conflict of interest but also because philosophy does not give objective answers unlike AI's programming. Additionally, the balance of logic and emotion which AI lacks also impedes its ability to make ethical judgements equivelant in value to that of the philosopher. We are already seeing a rise in these debates with the introduction of self-driving cars creating a 21st Century 'Trolley Problem' of whether we can trust a car's moral judgement on which pedestrian to kill in a case of an accident. AI's lack of consciousness may also prove problematic to a significant number of philosophy's key focus areas. Whether philosophy as a job may become obselete through some other faction is a different debate, however it will not be due to the advancement of AI, rather the contrary will occur, and I argue we will see a rise in recognition of the importance of the philosopher.

**With training and education, AI is likely to lead to a displacement, rather than a net loss, of jobs.** The increase in automation within the employment sector has always led to [panic](https://www.iotforall.com/impact-of-artificial-intelligence-job-losses) among those who fear that more people will lose their jobs, for example: • In 1811, the Luddites attacked and burned factories because they feared that unskilled machine operators would take away their livelihoods as textile workers; • In the 1980s, there was a rise in “computerphobia” as many feared that the invention of personal computers would leave them jobless. However, [history has shown](https://www.iotforall.com/impact-of-artificial-intelligence-job-losses) that jobs usually end up being created elsewhere, such as in engineering, which usually only requires [more education and training](https://www.pwc.co.uk/services/economics/insights/the-impact-of-automation-on-jobs.html). Also, professional service firms are predicted to see an overall increase in jobs due to AI. For example, [PwC](https://www.artificiallawyer.com/2018/07/17/ai-to-create-more-legal-jobs-than-losses-landmark-pwc-report/) predicts the following benefits in the legal sector: • Automated systems which improve access to justice by lowering the price barriers would mean that more people will seek legal services. • The more process tasks are automated, such as reading contracts, the more work can be taken on, thus increasing the demand for lawyers. Hence, there is no need to worry about a shortage of jobs in the future. Instead, the world should merely expect to see a shift in the nature of jobs that we assume.

**We are yet to see the full extent of what AI can do, so we cannot limit it. AI could one day run the world.** - Very simply, it already has. Robots will take over [20 million](https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwih26CPxvzxAhUNHewKHUd_BakQFjAAegQIAxAD&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bbc.co.uk%2Fnews%2Fbusiness-48760799&usg=AOvVaw0EhtICdhYQLRH1bZF-kRCZ) factory jobs by 2030. So, from car manufacturing, to packing food to mowing grass, machines have taken over our jobs. - Yes, I realise that there is a difference between machine and AI. We programme the machine, we are the intellect behind it. AI is it’s own intelligence. We are yet to create an articulate and ingenious AI, but we have created millions of machines and robots. - So, no doubt AI is just a few steps behind. Before we know it AI will be programming those machines. AI will be designing the algorithms and making decision. Of course there is the question of compassion, is it possible for machines to have compassion? We cannot say they can’t, as we are yet to create a clever enough AI. - Humans are too ambitious, and in general would prefer an easy work life to a hard one. And, letting AI run your company while you relax in the profit seems like a way many would consider. - We should be wary of AI, we are yet to discover what it can do.

There will always be jobs for workers .They can always retrain in something else

The impact of AI on jobs is multifaceted, involving both potential job displacement and creation. For: Job Displacement: AI and automation technologies can perform tasks more efficiently and accurately than humans in many sectors. Industries such as manufacturing, customer service, and transportation are already seeing significant automation, leading to job losses in roles that involve repetitive or routine tasks​ (Discover what the world thinks.)​​ (Discover what the world thinks.)​. Skill Mismatch: The rapid advancement of AI technology can create a skills gap, where the demand for new, specialized skills outpaces the ability of the workforce to acquire them. Workers in jobs that are easily automated may struggle to find new employment without retraining or upskilling, leading to economic displacement and inequality​ (Discover what the world thinks.)​​ (Wikipedia)​. Economic Disruption: The transition to an AI-driven economy could lead to widespread economic disruption. As companies adopt AI technologies to remain competitive, workers in certain sectors may face reduced job security and increased economic instability, particularly those in lower-wage or less-skilled positions​ (Participedia)​ . Against: Job Creation: While AI may displace certain jobs, it also has the potential to create new ones. The development, maintenance, and oversight of AI systems require a skilled workforce, leading to job opportunities in AI-related fields such as data analysis, machine learning engineering, and AI ethics . Increased Productivity: AI can augment human capabilities, leading to increased productivity and efficiency. This can result in economic growth and the creation of new industries and markets, ultimately generating more employment opportunities across various sectors . Enhancement of Existing Jobs: AI can take over mundane, repetitive tasks, allowing workers to focus on more complex and creative aspects of their jobs. This can lead to job enrichment and higher job satisfaction, as well as the potential for career advancement . Adaptive Workforce: Historically, the labor market has shown resilience and adaptability in the face of technological advancements. With appropriate policy measures, education, and training programs, the workforce can adapt to the changes brought about by AI, minimizing negative impacts while maximizing the benefits .
