Hello there! How are you doing my friend? I hope your Monday is going great, we are at the start of a new week, and I am sure, you will win this one too, as always.
I welcome you to my series, ‘Explained in a story, by AI!’. Here we talk about exciting ideas through an interesting story, and simple to understand English. Today, we will tune into recent human fear, that AI will take their jobs one day.
So let us hear from AI itself, what jobs it is going to take from us, and what it cannot.
Let’s dive into a fascinating journey about the future of work in a world where AI plays a significant role. Imagine a vibrant city in the not-so-distant future, bustling with innovation and the harmonious coexistence of humans and AI.
In this city, there’s a place called TechTropolis, known for its cutting-edge advancements. AI has taken over several tasks, transforming the job landscape. For example, repetitive jobs like data entry, basic customer service, and even driving are now in the capable “hands” of AI. Robots and software systems work tirelessly, making these tasks more efficient and error-free.
But here’s where our story takes an interesting turn. As AI takes on these roles, new opportunities blossom for humans. Let’s meet Ava, a creative soul who found her calling in the era of AI. Ava is a Virtual World Designer, crafting immersive digital experiences for education, entertainment, and therapy. Her job didn’t exist a decade ago, but with AI’s help in crunching data and managing technical details, Ava focuses on the creative aspects, bringing virtual worlds to life.
Then there’s Sam, who was a truck driver before autonomous vehicles became mainstream. Initially worried about his future, Sam discovered a passion for drone fleet management. Now, he oversees a fleet of delivery drones, ensuring goods are delivered efficiently and safely across the city. His knack for logistics and problem-solving has made him a key player in the new delivery ecosystem.
In the heart of TechTropolis, there’s a community center where humans and AI collaborate. Here, AI mentors assist people in learning new skills, from coding to digital artistry. But it’s the human touch that transforms these skills into unique creations and innovations.
Despite AI’s advancements, certain jobs remain distinctly human. Meet Dr. Maya, a psychologist who specializes in human-AI relationships. Her role is more crucial than ever, helping individuals navigate the emotional complexities of living and working with AI. The empathy, understanding, and nuanced communication she offers are beyond AI’s reach.
In this future, artists, therapists, educators, and leaders thrive, leveraging AI to enhance their work but relying on inherently human qualities—creativity, empathy, and ethical judgment—that AI can’t replicate.
As our story concludes, it’s clear that the future of work isn’t about humans versus AI. It’s about synergy, where AI handles tasks that machines do best, freeing humans to excel in roles that require a human heart and soul. In TechTropolis, the future is bright, not because of technology alone, but because of the new horizons it opens for human potential.
So, in the grand tapestry of the future, each thread – human and AI – weaves together to create a picture of harmony, innovation, and endless possibilities.
I hope now you can understand that AI can only take the jobs that are no brainer, or are derived from a certain set of pre-determined rules. We humans will switch to more fulfilling and mindful job roles.
To do the same, it is important for us to keep learning, and adopt a learning lifestyle. Stay at the edge of human evolution and you will always find exciting new opportunities.
My best wishes to you, to do just the same.
Love and Luck.
