Jobs that AI won’t replace?

[Anonymous]

DD is 16 and is thinking about possible future careers. She is super stressed out about AI taking over her job and we are having a hard time thinking of some safer jobs.

She wants to work with her mind rather than her body (so no blue collar) and is not interested in medicine.

Get her some help with her anxiety

I don't have a specific answer, but I'd say jobs that involve relationships and emotional intelligence.

What is her mind good at? Or what does her mind enjoy thinking about?

Problem solving. She is not very social, much more of an IC type. Her favorite classes are math and physics.

Jobs that require more complex human physical labor (if robotics doesn't progress as fast as AI is progressing) and jobs that require human oversite (managerial), IT jobs, robotic or mechanical repair work, and all the jobs that will be too small or specialized for AI and robotics to be economically feasible to take over.

Office jobs, computer/desk jobs, legal professionals, claims/insurance, etc. will be first to be replaced by AI, as they will require no robotics at all.

I think the best way to deal with this fear is for her to learn more about AI. Despite all the big talk, it will not be able to replace most jobs. It is basically a big search engine: it cannot "think."

It will be a tool that people will have to learn to use, and in some industries it may replace some of the tasks that are currently used as training or paying your dues (like assembling big data sets) which will force those industries to change. But the result will be more of a "use AI to suggest the best shape of bridge for this space" scenario, not a "there are no more bridge engineers, only AI" scenario.

Surgeons will absolutely be replaced by AI.

A podcast that I listen to described it as -- your job won't be taken away by AI; the person who knows how to use AI will replace you.

I don't quite understand how this will happen. Explain?

There are laparoscopic surgery robots already. But run by people. For cheaper and with a ton of liability waivers signed, hospitals could use robots without surgeons hands and AI after it has trained itself on many bodies to perform certain routine surgeries.
