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.

Surgeons will absolutely be replaced by AI.


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

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.


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.

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.

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

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