"If you don't work hard today, AI will replace you tomorrow".
With the maturity of artificial intelligence, big data, and cloud computing technologies, repetitive and single traditional jobs are being replaced.
The "Three Treasures of Unemployment" jobs are often the first to bear the brunt and become the "front line" that is the first to feel the cold winter of employment.
So what are all three industries? Has the traditional industry reached the end of its rope?
Medical industry
In recent years, artificial intelligence has become more and more developed, and in medicine, artificial intelligence has also been put to work, and artificial intelligence is more accurate than doctors diagnose.
In addition, artificial intelligence can also help doctors discover new treatments in the diagnosis of diseases, and even replace doctors with surgery.

More than 50% of the world's medical institutions have begun to use AI technology to assist diagnosis and treatment, and this number has increased nearly threefold in the past five years, heralding the arrival of the era of AI healthcare.

If you think about it, in the past, doctors had to spend many years of learning experience to practice the ability to see a doctor, but now artificial intelligence can become a "miracle doctor" in seconds as long as it inputs enough data. And it's not tired, 24 hours online, on-call, and efficient.
The fertility rate has also had a huge impact on the medical profession, and now the fertility rate in the mainland has been declining, and the population has even experienced negative growth.
It is predicted that the number of newborns in mainland China may plummet to 7.88 million in 2024, a decrease of nearly 10 million from 2016, and it is expected that by 2035, China's population aged 65 and above will exceed 400 million, accounting for more than 25%, and the aging degree will further deepen.

In the past, the hospital was always overcrowded, and the doctors were so busy that they hit the back of the head, and it was difficult to see a doctor.
But in the future, there are fewer and fewer patients, then doctors may face the dilemma of losing their jobs, and people used to think that they would not have to worry about not having food after studying medicine, but now medical students cannot find jobs.
In 2021, among nearly one million medical graduates, only 40,000 eventually succeeded in becoming doctors, with an employment rate of only 4%, and the unemployment rate was as high as 23.1% six months after graduating from clinical medicine.
It can be seen from this that doctors will become the hardest hit areas of unemployment in the future, and now many hospitals have begun to adjust their departments and reduce beds because of the shortage of patients, and some doctors are even worried that their jobs will not be guaranteed.

taxi driver
With the rapid development of technology, driverless taxis have gradually moved from science fiction concepts to reality, which makes taxi drivers face the dilemma of losing their jobs.
Recently, Wuhan announced that it will fully roll out the driverless taxi service "Carrot Run", and plans to invest in a new generation of 1,000 unmanned vehicles to achieve 24-hour uninterrupted operation. This news not only makes citizens look forward to the future of travel, but also makes taxi drivers feel unprecedented pressure.

Driverless taxis are more efficient and less costly, which allows taxi drivers to be gradually replaced, taking "Carrot Run" as an example, its all-weather operation ability and low price make traditional taxis at a disadvantage in the competition.

Robotaxis is still a novelty, and many people are switching to driverless taxis, resulting in a significant drop in the number of taxi drivers taking orders and a sharp drop in income.
Moreover, there are many online car-hailing platforms, and there are more and more drivers. Especially this year, novice drivers are pouring in like a tide, and the rental rate of rental companies in many cities is about to explode.
In the past few years alone, the number of online ride-hailing drivers nationwide has surged from 2.891 million in December 2020 to 6.791 million in March 2024, an increase of 235%.

In order to balance the interests of new and old drivers, the platform will also tilt the order to the novice, after all, it is necessary for people to gain a firm foothold first.
In this way, the life of the old driver will not be easy, and the number of orders will be small, and the income will naturally shrink. In addition, when the off-season arrives, the demand for passenger taxis decreases, which makes it even worse.
The taxi driver is not easy to do. The working hours are long and intense, and you have to run on the road all day and night, and you have to deal with various road conditions and passenger needs.
The point is, the income is not stable, and sometimes the money earned after a long day of hard work may be just enough to make ends meet. Not to mention that the competition is fierce now, and in order to solicit customers, sometimes you have to reduce the price, which is even less profitable.
Delivery people
Now the city is full of delivery workers, and many people have always thought that delivery workers are impossible to be unemployed, because people are busy now, and most people need to order takeout.
As long as people have a demand for a certain industry, then the industry will not go out of business, so now many people are flocking to the food delivery industry, and the wages earned by food delivery are still very high.
However, although the food delivery industry will not go out of business, this does not mean that the delivery workers will not be unemployed, and judging from the current situation, the delivery workers will face the dilemma of unemployment in the near future.
Now there are a lot of people delivering takeaways, which means that the competitiveness of the industry has become greater, and the more people there are, the less the salary, then people will definitely be dissatisfied.
Now the takeaway guy is working hard, running for more than ten or twenty hours a day, and the money he makes is not as good as running for more than a few hours before, so naturally some people can't do it.
Moreover, the takeaway platform's commission on merchants and riders is getting higher and higher, and the merchant takeaway platform earns more than me, so it will definitely not be happy, and the price will rise.
As soon as the merchant increases the price, the consumer is not happy, and the order volume drops. As soon as the number of orders is small, the riders can take fewer orders, and the money they make will naturally be less, so many delivery workers have given up the industry.
But the main reason is the emergence of artificial intelligence, in the future on the streets, it is likely that there will no longer be a takeaway brother riding an electric car shuttle, replaced by an intelligent food delivery robot, or a drone, or even an autonomous food delivery car.

In recent years, a number of takeaway platforms and technology companies have invested heavily in the research and development of unmanned food delivery services, and according to a well-known food delivery platform, its drone delivery system has been piloted in some cities, and the 3-kilometer delivery journey can be completed in only about 15 minutes, which greatly improves the efficiency of food delivery.

In the next few years, the market size of intelligent food delivery robots will grow at an alarming rate, and delivery workers will definitely lose their jobs at that time.
The operating cost of an intelligent food delivery robot is much lower than that of a takeaway brother, and the robot does not need wages, social security, welfare, and will not affect work efficiency due to factors such as weather and road conditions.
summary
In the process of the development of today's times, it will inevitably lead to changes in society, and the emergence of technology has caused many industries to face impacts.
But as long as we keep up with the times, learn new technologies, and improve our abilities, we will never face the dilemma of unemployment.
