The Impact of Artificial Intelligence on the Human Job

Technology advances change how jobs work, affecting what tasks are needed and how people work. This is important to know for making good rules, planning education, and choosing careers. One big technology people talk about is artificial intelligence (AI). AI is like smart computer programs that do tasks by understanding patterns in data, not just following human instructions. AI can do some things better than people, but we're not sure how it will change jobs, especially for people earning less.

 First, it looks at past cases of software and robots. It checks what these technologies were made to do by reading their patents. Then it compares this with jobs people do to see if there's a connection. This is done to understand how technology and jobs are linked. Next, this method is used for AI, and something interesting comes up: AI mostly affects jobs that need high skills, unlike software and robots that affect different jobs.

In the past, machines mostly affected jobs that were routine and not too complicated, often done by people with medium or lower skills. For example, robots took over tasks done by workers in factories, which led to fewer jobs in manufacturing.

But now, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is different. From 2010 to 2023, AI improved a lot in skills like organizing information, remembering things, thinking quickly, and solving problems. These skills are needed for tasks that are not routine and need thinking.

The thing that humans can do that robot or AI can't-

1. Unlike us, robots can't figure out what humans truly want to do. This is because our wants are shaped by things we've made before, creating a kind of circle.
2. Creativity - Humans can come up with new and unique things like art, music, and ideas that robots and AI can't do because they follow set rules.
3. AI can't feel real emotions like empathy and understand complicated feelings in a deep way.
4. Humans are good at understanding how different people behave and what's considered normal in different groups. This helps them act correctly in various social situations and be respectful. But AI often struggles with these complex social and cultural understandings that humans find easy.
5. Humans are great at figuring out tricky problems that don't have clear instructions. They can handle confusion, think about different viewpoints, and come up with creative solutions. But AI is better at problems with clear rules and goals. It has a hard time dealing with problems that need a clear path to follow.
6. People can easily learn and adjust when they're in new situations they haven't experienced before. They can use what they know in one situation to figure out things in another situation. They're good at solving new problems using their thinking skills. But AI can only do what it learned from its training and needs help with things very different from what it learned.

Conclusion-

In conclusion, AI becomes more important as technology advances, but it can't replace human skills like understanding emotions, being creative, and solving complex problems. AI mostly affects high-skill jobs that involve smart thinking. We should use AI's strengths while valuing what humans do best, like creativity and empathy, to create a successful future workforce.
