Robots unlikely to take over roles that rely on human interaction
"Whether machines will replace human jobs" is one of the most discussed topics. This is mainly due to the rapid development and commercialization of new technologies represented by artificial intelligence in recent years.
Although the forecast data of various research institutions are different, the same is that everyone agrees that machines will replace many human jobs, especially some repetitive tasks.
According to a new McKinsey study, as many as 800 million workers worldwide could lose their jobs due to automation by 2030. Industrial machine operators, managers and service personnel will be the first to be directly affected. At the same time, poorer countries with lower levels of technology investment will be less affected.
Throughout the history of human development, new technologies will eventually replace old technologies, just like cars have replaced horse-drawn carriages, and new media are replacing traditional paper media. This process is irreversible and will be accompanied by pain. But we need to be optimistic that in the process of replacement, new technologies will also create a large number of unprecedented new jobs.
The Future of Jobs 2018 report by the World Economic Forum shows that while some jobs will become redundant, human skills will still be needed in certain fields. Over the next four years, automation technology and artificial intelligence will replace 75 million jobs, but will also create 133 million new jobs.
The report surveyed more than 300 companies and HR executives, strategy executives and CEOs in various industries around the world. The respondents represented more than 15 million employees and more than 20 developed and emerging economies that collectively account for 70% of the global economy. .
As can be seen from the report, global corporate jobs will experience structural changes over the next few years. Job losses will fall from 31% in 2018 to 21% in 2022. Those jobs that disappear will be completely replaced by new jobs.
The report shows that while more than half of companies expect the number of full-time employees to shrink over the next few years, the job outlook remains positive, largely thanks to a better understanding of how technology can create new business opportunities.
With the development of communication and Internet technology, the future world will be completely based on software and data. Therefore, it can be seen from the changes in the needs of enterprises for employees that digital jobs such as software and networks are becoming new occupations that enterprises need in the future, and those traditional jobs that rely on repetitive manual labor will be replaced by digitalization and automation.
It should be noted that occupations marked with * appear in multiple columns in the table, meaning that these jobs are in stable or declining demand in one industry, but are in high demand in another industry.
According to a study by Oxford University, 47% of American jobs could be displaced by automation in the next 20 years, but 53% of jobs will not be affected at all.
The report also believes that jobs in manufacturing, transportation, and management will decrease in the future, while job opportunities in fields such as health, science, and technology may grow significantly in the future.
Also, robots are unlikely to take over roles that rely on human interaction, such as doctors, teachers. And workers with special professional skills, such as plumbers, nurses, etc., will remain relatively stable.
All in all, stability is only temporary, change is eternal. Facing the predictable and unknown future, keeping a learning and optimistic attitude can better cope with the various changes in the future.
