Embrace it and get used to it AI is here to stay. <\/p>\n
While some robots may be out to take our jobs, theres a big skills gap in the AI-fueled services industry thats just waiting to be filled. <\/p>\n
There will be two major drivers around the jobs of the future. The first will be what can be automated, and the second will be what level of comfort do we have with thingsbeing automated. <\/p>\n
However, while everyone likes to talk about widespread fear that automation and artificial intelligence (AI) will make human workers redundant, it seems people are actually becoming more comfortable with the idea of automation and AI in the workplace. Recent research conducted by Adecco Group reveals that many employees feel AI will have a positive impact in creating a future workplace with myriad opportunities for more flexible, rewarding work. <\/p>\n
So if our current roles in the workplace are set to be replaced, what will we be doing instead? Here are five new jobs that are likely to see the light as a result of AI. <\/p>\n
Robots are to be deployed everywhere from the classroom to hospitals, but who will teach this new wave of bots the skills they are meant to apply so effortlessly, and, more importantly, who will teach robots how to teach each other so that AI can continue to scale? While robotic programming automation (RPA) requires an intensive focus on programming repeatable tasks, AI is here to provide structured outputs from unstructured inputs. Teacher training is about to take on a whole new meaning. <\/p>\n
In the U.K. and Europe, regulations are being drafted to govern the use and creation of robots and AI. This includes an electronic personhood status assigned to address the rights and responsibilities of AI-programmed robots and to cover all acts carried out by them. What does it mean? Well, in short it means that governments are waking up to the fact that AIs can cause real harm to people. It also means that robots, along with their owners and creators, may be sued. <\/p>\n
Regardless of the form electronic personhood laws take, its safe to say there will be a new generation of legal professionals dedicated to this subject, as well as expert law makers focusing on the area. <\/p>\n
Doing business today is not a case of choosing between human or machine. Weve reached an age of human and machine. Orchestration will be key in implementing the right technology, or the right person, for the job. The variable now is how the division of laborwill be managed. <\/p>\n
Orchestration is already in place on the assembly line. For example, we have beautifully orchestrated factories with a mixture of human and robotic workers. Orchestration of service delivery is an entirely different matter, however. Robotic service orchestration (RSO) platforms are already in place in more advanced shared services centers, but as the requirement for more orchestration between automation, humans, and AI continues to grow, so too will the requirements for experts in this field. <\/p>\n
There are a million different companies and technology-driven solutions aiming to make digital transformation happen quickly and seamlessly, and with the convergence of AI and big data, data scientists will be able to extract business-changing information on a daily basis. <\/p>\n
It wont be the robots making the actual business-critical decisions, though. These will no doubt be left up to a human expert in a pivotal transformation role. While its not a new role, the head of transformation will now need both cutting edge skills and experience from previous roles involving automation, product and process simplification, and service excellence. <\/p>\n
Over the next few years, a seismic shift in the automotive industry will continue to deliver the power of AI and IoT to vehicles. These vehicles will be synced to more content-aware, location-based apps, which will enable cars within the same pool to communicate and share data, such as road conditions or speed. Vehicles will also be able to tap into AI to learn routes and routines, and even to upgrade while on the move. <\/p>\n
This shift will see the widespread adoption of autonomous vehicles. While cars may be able to navigate themselves, a person (in the form of an autonomous vehicle fleet manager) will still need to be positioned in case of any anomalies, particularly as fleets go through the various stages to becoming fully automated. And, of course, there will need to be a human representative that interacts with more complex passenger and customer requests. <\/p>\n
Amid the doom and gloom created by the robots will steal our jobs messaging that has circulated frequently over the past year, a considerable percentage of people are finding the silver lining in the automation and AI situation we find ourselves in. While robots will render some occupations obsolete, there is a huge opportunity here for humans and robots to become more collaborative and for new positions to be created in an industry that nurtures our newfound AI colleagues. Its time to get used to the change and embrace it, for you may find yourself working alongside a robot teacher sooner than you think. <\/p>\n
