5 Jobs That Will Likely Be Made Redundant By Artificial Intelligence by Opinionated(op): 2:23pm On Aug 08, 2017
Artificial Intelligence is simply intelligence exhibited by computers. With the momentum that AI is gathering, some jobs will become redundant or very few hands will be required to do same jobs. In other cases, you may need to improve your skills. Whatever the case may, Jumia Travel identifies 5 jobs that may be replaced by robots or computers. To this in perspective, AI will take 6% of jobs in 2021.

Doctors

AI is currently being used to identify some medical problems and recommend drugs for treatment. IT also helps you to keep track of your health for easy diagnosis in future. The advantage of AI is that there will be nothing like medical mistakes unlike when humans handle it.

Taxi drivers

Google, Uber and other tech companies are desperately working to ensure that cars will be able to drive itself. If they eventually achieve this, drivers will not need to drive cars anymore. The right sensors and communication will drive you wherever your location.

Journalism

The jobs of reporters, editors and content writers may not be under threat. But the number of hands needed to report or write a story will significantly drop. An AI called wordsmith can read through data or a disjointed story, pick out the interesting part, and write a story. It has been used by Associated Press and Yahoo.

Customer service/Receptionist

Sorry, but customer service is one of the services that may not involve humans. Computers will be able to communicate with customers and provide relevant information to these same customers without any hitches. There are quite a lot of AI programs or software dedicated to customer service.

Personal Assistant

Entrepreneurs and business executives don’t actually need PAs anymore. AI-based programs can perform the functions of a PA.

Medical Doctor will not be pushed aside because everyday comes with different health issues and will need people to consult and diagnose all these.
the computer can only give out what you put in.

Considering doing a roof parapet?
check out price comparison between a concrete cast in suite against polystyrene parapet.
Polystyrene parapet is light weight and doesn't have much impact on the land.
excellent usage on swampy environment.

I doubt that doctors can be rendered irrelevant.

They are still many and it's going to affect all industries but the rate on unemployment is going to vary.
It's going to affect Banking as robots would be capable to respond to demands and process transactions without third party.

.
.
I wonder whether Teachers would be needed at all with current self e-learning trend.
.

.
Robots are already used in Agriculture for planting, checking soil nature and giving evaluation, harvesting etc.. and more is to come.

.


More about Robots

.

.
AI will definitely bring more threat to the Manufacturing industry
.

.
Artificial intelligence would be so much used in Military and war and I'm afraid if robots would be the beasts that was talked about in scriptures
.

.
Artificial intelligence is just an innovative to replace humans on earth. This concept alone is enough to believe that the end time would come.
.

There was a project to immortalize humans by mapping human intelligence into robots so that great people don't just die but having robots who could think logically like the genius.

Why are people surprised that doctors are there.?

Even without AI most of the leg work is done by other health sector personnels in the hospital for eg

Lab scientist will conduct test, radiologist will take x rays, pharmacist will make and dispense drugs etc the doctor only joins the puzzle to get an answer, even now I believe an app can easily diagnose for you when all results are input into it,

The only doctors that cannot easily be replaced by AI may be surgeons but even that can by robots
