Recently, the term "three treasures of unemployment" has become popular. Everyone is speculating about which industry will become the first "lonely" to be eliminated by artificial intelligence. Some say it's a kindergarten teacher, while others guess it's an obstetrician and gynecologist, because the number of births is declining year by year. However, these are not the ones that are really on the verge of being replaced.
Listen to what I'll tell you, which ones will bear the brunt of the fate of being embraced by AI?
Hey, don't look at those takeaway guys who come and go in the wind and rain, they are very strong, they are the first batch of poor insects who want to lose their jobs. What is the technical content of the takeaway industry? It's just a matter of delivering things on a bicycle, and the AI has learned that it's not a matter of minutes. In the future, it may be a robot that will deliver takeaway to your door, which will save you a lot of trouble.
The takeaway brother is going to be eliminated, so don't be too optimistic about the courier. Their work is a bit more complicated, but it's still easy for robots to learn to sort packages.
Alas, these people, the old men are all desperately trying to earn money to support their families, and they didn't think that one day their jobs would be ruthlessly taken away. It hurts when I think about it.
Don't worry, let's take a look at another profession - ride-hailing drivers. It's not going to be easy for these people either. Driverless cars are in trial operation, and when they are fully commercialized, they will have to be laid off. Driving a car is not a problem for artificial intelligence at all.
You said that other robots will not get tired, skip meals, and can be on call 24 hours a day, why is this advantage not hardcore enough? Coupled with precise navigation, AI cars are definitely the best choice for future mobility. Poor those ride-hailing drivers, maybe one day they will have to go to the ancestral grave to repair the bridge and repair the road.
As you can see, the three trades in the "Three Treasures of Unemployment": food delivery, express delivery and online car-hailing, their prospects are worrying! Once completely replaced by AI, what will happen to these large number of low-level workers? Mortgage, children's tuition, alimony for the elderly... How do you pay for these expenses? It's a pity.
But then again, this kind of change is good for the development of society as a whole. AI not only improves efficiency, but also makes it safer and more reliable, and does not cause accidents due to human error. Moreover, some boring and manual work is more suitable for intelligent machines to do it.
By the way, I have good news for you. As these low-end industries are automated, many new industries will also spring up, providing new employment opportunities for everyone. In the future, maybe we don't have to be busy all day long to make money to support our families, the country's wealth distribution is more fair and reasonable, and we can live a leisurely life.
But these are all things to come, and it's still some time before that happens. At the same time, it is indeed necessary to start planning solutions to the employment problems of those blue-collar workers. After all, these people have families to support, don't let them lose their livelihoods all of a sudden.
Perhaps the most important thing at the moment is to train them and transform them so that they can master new skills; At the same time, it is also necessary to raise the employment threshold in these industries, improve the professional quality of practitioners, and make them not so easy to be replaced by AI...
And so on, I can only think of such a superficial countermeasure. It's a puzzling conundrum, but we have to find a way to solve it, and we can't afford to leave these poor people homeless in the midst of the turmoil and change. Of course, we also hope that this transformation can be implemented as soon as possible and gradually and smoothly.
I don't know if my narrative is still in my ears? In any case, I'm just trying to figure out a thing or two about this AI revolution. How it will affect our work and life, and whether more industries will survive in the future, we can only wait and see.
