What is AI? AI is an abbreviation in different fields and contexts. In art, AI refers to an industry-standard vector illustration software; In science, AI usually refers to computer programs that can process, understand, and learn information just like humans, also known as artificial intelligence. As a product of scientific and technological innovation, AI plays an increasingly important role in human society.
Fresh words such as intelligent manufacturing, smart home, unmanned driving, unmanned supermarkets, and smart logistics have entered everyone's sight. Seeing the momentum of AI development so fierce, we can't help but think, what will the future of AI development become, will our profession be replaced?
What are the most easily replaced occupations by AI?
- Traditional assembly line workers
As early as 1990, China's first robot welding production line came out at Harbin Institute of Technology. Today, Foxconn has invested robots in Kunshan, Jiangsu Province to replace employees, reducing the number of employees by 60,000.
- security guard
Artificial intelligence integrates intelligent systems such as automatic alarm, automatic charging, automatic anti-theft, automatic voice function, etc., and works 24 hours a day.
- Customer
Many companies around the world have developed automated customer service systems that have better voices, more accurate and reliable answers, and more stable emotions without emotion.
- interpreter
Now that a multilingual translation machine has been launched, the accuracy rate of Chinese-English translation is as high as 95%, and you must know that English is the most widely used language.
- guide
Tour guide robots can be equipped with various voice recognition, face recognition, image recognition and other technologies, so that tourists can obtain information more conveniently during travel, and at the same time provide vivid explanations for tourists. Real-time monitoring of the surrounding environment ensures safety and timely alarms. In an emergency, robots can take the optimal route to steer visitors away from danger. Tour guide robots not only reduce labor costs and improve efficiency, but also provide tourists with more personalized services and improve the quality of tourism.
- typist
The popularity of speech recognition technology has even threatened the field of shorthand.
- Telemarketer
Monotonous, repetitive, boring, annoying, artificial intelligence can quickly analyze the needs of customers to provide products.
- accounting
Artificial intelligence will only make the operation simple, convenient and accurate.
- Insurance clerk
AI can help insurance institutions and practitioners improve the quality and accuracy of services around customer risk protection gaps in real time, and AI can analyze customers' risk needs and insurance needs to provide customized insurance solutions. With the development of AI technology, more insurance salesperson jobs may be replaced.
- Restaurant waiter
Many restaurants have now begun to use self-ordering systems to replace traditional waiters, which can accurately record guests' orders and are more efficient than waiters. In the future, there may also be restaurants that are entirely in charge of robot waiters.
- Driver and chauffeur
As early as the end of 2012, Google engineers had tested driverless cars on highways, covering 480,000 kilometers. Toyota, Ford, and Audi have also taken driverless cars as a research and development focus, and the domestic automotive industry is not to be outdone, and Shenzhen driverless buses have been put into trial operation. It is believed that except for special circumstances, it will be fully popularized in the future, and people will release their hands and only need to lie on the seat in a regular manner.
- Cashiers
Due to the entry of Alibaba unmanned supermarkets into the market, everyone can clearly realize that in the future, intelligent automatic toll collection systems will enter shopping malls, highway toll booths and other positions that require cashiers, and further replace.
- librarian
Libraries such as Chongqing Library and Gansu Provincial Library have achieved intelligent management, and tedious and repetitive work content such as registration, book search, and book classification will be completely replaced by artificial intelligence.
- newspaperman
By combining big data and artificial intelligence, using good software development templates and framework algorithms, you can quickly write ordinary manuscripts in large quantities, such as Forbes, Los Angeles Times, New York Times and other well-known media have used robots to write scripts, 25 seconds to write the news of the Jiuzhaigou earthquake is done by robots.
- Courier
In 2017, JD.com's delivery robot completed its first delivery. So in the future, it will only be a matter of time before couriers are completely replaced by automated robots.
What is AI best or not good at? What are the characteristics of the professions that AI can replace?
- AI is best at imitating human achievements, and the worst at independent thinking and innovation, and everything it does is given by people.
- The occupations that can be replaced by AI are repetitive, patterned, and dangerous.
