The revolutionary AI is on the chase! Can it really do what you do?
As artificial intelligence (AI) keeps making a splash across industries, graduates are starting to worry that their job opportunities might be sinking faster than a lead balloon. While these concerns are as understandable as a cat in a bathtub, it’s crucial to tackle the issue with a balanced perspective, like a tightrope walker on a windy day. In a twist that would make a good plot for a sitcom, it turns out that the number of jobs actually impacted by AI is not nearly as dramatic as some would have you believe!
OpenAI rolled out its shiny new ChatGPT version, and while some folks are wringing their hands over job losses, experts are saying, "Hold your horses!" The impacts might be a bit exaggerated, and instead of doom and gloom, AI is set to jazz up industries and open up a treasure chest of new opportunities for us humans. So, let’s keep our hats on and see where this wild ride takes us!
Recently, the UT BRite community had a little chat, and guess what? Our members are all on the same page: AI is shaking things up like fire, electricity, and the Internet did! No corner of the world will escape its reach, but the real kicker? It's going to be one heck of a powerful tool!
“It's not that AI is replacing humans, it is augmented intelligence, (but) these tools can help us to improve how we do things.”
“I don't think we are going to eliminate jobs. We are going to transform and create new ones.”
“High-skill jobs tend to be harder to replace by machines because they are non-routine and cognitive-based, such as management and professional jobs.”
Soft skills, like those jobs that require a sprinkle of human judgment, are safe from the clutches of AI. Guess robots just can’t read the room! This suggests that jobs needing creativity, a dash of emotional intelligence, and some good old-fashioned problem-solving are probably going to hang on tight, even as AI technology does its best impression of a superhero!
