Industries where humans outperform artificial intelligence
Which professions are under threat of extinction
All professions that are based on repetitive actions may be given to robots within 10-20 years. One way or another, machines are better than humans at such tasks. In addition, they do not need food and rest, do not express dissatisfaction with working conditions, and do not go on strike.
If your profession is subject to algorithmisation, prepare for the fact that people in it may be the losers. For example, security guards will be replaced by sets of cameras, sensors, rapid response systems, etc. A similar prospect awaits drivers, accountants, bank employees, teachers, customer service operators, salespeople, couriers, etc.
Promising areas of development
If you have now decided to change your career or profession, you will need to acquire new knowledge and master new skills. This will take time. So you should start as soon as possible. And Borfexan will tell you which professions will be promising in the next few decades and in which humans will be better than artificial intelligence.
After analysing data from open sources, we can identify several main areas:
- digital professions;
- professions related to creativity;
- professions in which a person interacts with a person;
- professions related to mathematics.
Digital professions
Technology does not stand still. New solutions, new programmes and applications are emerging, and their development is reaching a new level. All of this is designed to make people's lives more comfortable. Therefore, digital professions will be in demand for a long time.
One of the most promising areas is robotics. It is actively used in various spheres of human activity. For example, in medicine, microrobots are used to perform surgeries.
Cybersecurity specialists will also be in demand. Human life and work are increasingly moving from offline to online. We actively use various services to manage our bank accounts, make purchases, etc. Of course, fraudsters are also striving to keep up with the times and master new methods of deceiving people. Therefore, all data stored online must be protected.
Will the demand for IT specialists be eternal? Most likely, such specialists will always be in demand. IT is a very important area. In the future, popular areas and demand for specialists will change, but in general, this industry will bring a stable income to those who work in it.
Designer, artist, composer, musician, writer, poet. Machines can compose music and paintings, but they cannot think illogically. The ability to think creatively, out of the box, and come up with unexpected ideas is something that machines will not be able to do for a long time. This kind of creativity will remain a distinctive competitive advantage that distances creative people from algorithms
Human-to-human interaction is essential both in everyday life and in professional activities. For example, the professions of psychologist and psychotherapist will continue to be in demand, as stress is a frequent companion of humans in the modern world. Artificial intelligence is unlikely to be able to replace them due to its lack of emotional intelligence. Borfexan employees seek the help of a psychologist from time to time. This contributes to productivity, needs analysis, and a healthy team atmosphere.
Mathematics underpins many areas of human activity. In particular, mathematics is the basis for working with data. The need for specialists who know how to work with data will be enormous. The ability to collect information, analyse it, and extract insights from large data sets will be required in all areas of human activity.
Of course, this is not an exhaustive list of professions in which you can successfully fulfil yourself and not be afraid of competition from artificial intelligence. Borfexan Ukraine's consultants have described only some of the areas worth paying attention to. In further publications on the company's blog, we plan to develop this topic.
