AI Threat: 8 Job Types, Including Drivers and Coders, May Vanish Due to AI by 2030
New Delhi (The Uttam Hindu): The increasing influence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is now affecting jobs as well. A new report warns that in the next five years, AI technology can completely eliminate about 8 types of jobs, including drivers, coders and recruiters. This news is a matter of concern for those who are employed in these fields, because AI tools are rapidly replacing humans. The increasing dominance of AI is revolutionizing the technological world, but along with it, employment is also under threat. In such a situation, governments and companies need to work together to prepare employees for this change.
Biggest threat to drivers' jobs
According to the report, AI will have the greatest impact on jobs that are based on repetitive tasks. Drivers' work is a prime example of this. Self-driving cars and delivery drones are already undergoing testing in many countries. As this technology develops, the need for drivers will gradually end. Professionals like truck drivers, taxi drivers and delivery boys will be most affected by this.
The role of recruiters is also in crisis
AI is also having an impact on the recruitment industry. Earlier the job of recruiters was to screen candidates, conduct interviews and select the right talent, but now AI tools are performing these tasks faster and more accurately. Machine learning algorithms are automating the scanning of resumes, skill analysis and evaluation of candidates.
Jobs of software engineers and coders are also at risk
Apart from this, jobs of software engineers and coders are also at risk. In recent times, AI tools like ChatGPT and GitHub Copilot have become capable of writing and reviewing code. Earlier these tools were only used for correcting grammar or basic tasks, but now they can write entire programs.
Other jobs will be affected too
In addition to drivers and recruiters, positions such as data entry operators, customer service representatives and factory workers could also be affected. AI chatbots are already replacing humans in customer service and robotics is automating production in factories. This change will be challenging for those who work in these fields.
Although this change poses a threat to jobs, some experts believe that AI will also create new opportunities. New skills will be required to develop, manage and train AI systems. Therefore, the existing workforce needs upskilling and reskilling so that they can be future-ready.
