Some experts say that robots will take away human jobs with the rapid development of AI. A March 2023 report from Goldman Sachs showed that AI could do a quarter of the work done by humans. Across the European Union and the US, the report further notes that 300 million jobs could be lost to automation (自动化).
Thankfully, it's not all bad news. The experts also add that there are still things AI cannot do. These tasks have clear human qualities, like emotional intelligence and creative thinking.
"I think there are generally three kinds of jobs that are going to be safe," says Martin Ford, writer of Rule of the Robots: How Artificial Intelligence Will Transform Everything. "The first would be jobs that are creative enough to come up with new ideas and build something new."
The second is jobs that require complicated (复杂的) interpersonal relationships. Ford points to nurses, businessmen and reporters. "These are jobs," he says, "where you need a very deep understanding of people. I think it'll be a long time before AI has the ability to interact (交流) in the kinds of ways that really build relationships."
"The third safe one," says Ford, "is jobs that really require lots of mobility (机动性) and dexterity (灵活性) and problem-solving ability in unpredictable environments. These are the kinds of jobs where you're dealing with a new situation all the time, so they are probably the hardest of anything to automate."
"It's important to note," says Ford, "that a higher education or a high-paying position is not a protection against AI takeover. In short, looking for roles in changing environments that include unpredictable tasks is a good way to stop jobs from being taken by AI. At least, for a while."
