“Will my job become obsolete as AI becomes more advanced?” This is a question that’s recently kept many professionals up at night. As artificial intelligence continues to spread its tentacles into various industries, many experts are warning about the pervasive reach of this development. “AI will wipe out a lot of current jobs, as has happened with all past technologies,” Lawrence Katz, a labor economist at Harvard, told the Guardian earlier this year.
” Other AI proponents hold a similar view: Every technological revolution, from the industrial to the digital, has raised similar fears, yet every time, the economy adapted, and new job roles emerged. The consensus is that AI will free humans from mundane tasks, giving them more time to focus on creative, strategic, and interpersonal roles that AI can’t perform quite well.
