Will My Job Disappear? Automation, AI and Robots.

Jobs are disappearing across industries due to the advancement of automation, robots and artificial intelligence.  You can be proactive and be part of the automation or you can take a wait and see attitude and possibly be automated out of a job.   If you are in transportation expect your job to disappear or to change in the near future.  Self driving vehicles are right around the corner and this will greatly impact the transportation industry.

This is the ChatGPT response when asked: Will artificial intelligence take jobs?

Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to automate a wide range of tasks and processes, which could lead to job displacement in some industries. However, it is important to note that the impact of AI on employment will depend on a variety of factors, including the nature of the tasks being automated, the availability of alternative employment opportunities, and the ability of workers to adapt to new roles and technologies.

It is likely that some jobs will be replaced by AI, while others will be transformed or augmented by it. For example, AI may be used to automate tasks that are repetitive or predictable, such as data entry or processing, while jobs that require more complex skills, such as decision making or problem solving, may be less vulnerable to automation.

It is also important to note that AI has the potential to create new employment opportunities as well. For example, the development and deployment of AI systems may require specialized skills and expertise, leading to the creation of new jobs in fields such as data science and machine learning. Additionally, AI may lead to the development of new products and services, which could create new demand for labor.

Overall, the impact of AI on employment is likely to be complex and varied, and it will depend on a range of factors. It is important for policymakers, businesses, and workers to carefully consider the potential impacts of AI and to take steps to ensure that the benefits of these technologies are shared widely.
