Which professions will be in greater demand due to the advancement of artificial intelligence

2023-01-23T10:21:04.711Z


The new specialties, forms and types of work. Despite this, many traditional trades will continue to operate.


Although the dominant discourse insistently repeats that artificial intelligence (AI) is going to crush millions of professions like a Terminator, in reality, only part of the truth is being told.

Since not only will there be many jobs that will survive in the robot age, but new ones will also emerge.

Some experts indicate that the current period is characterized by a series of advances that blur the boundaries between the physical, the digital and the biological.

And that no past revolution combined so many advances at once and at

such a frenetic pace

.

The worrying fact is that the cognitive capacity of our species has not evolved at the same speed as technology.

Which implies that the gap between

machines and humans

will be increasing.

The irruption of robots, automation and AI, a few years ago, began to transform the labor market and this impact is perceived in some sectors such as the automotive industry, agriculture and health.

Robots and automation are here to stay.

But at the same time, new doors related to the maintenance and programming necessary for the correct development of these

artificial systems

were opening .

Jobs that last over time

Despite this progress, there are a number of occupations that will be difficult for an AI to perform, due to its

lack of subjectivity

.

Since a combination of intuition, reasoning, empathy and emotion is required.

This list includes classic functions such as doctors, dentists, lawyers, teachers, elite athletes and also, under new names, designers, financiers and

content generators

.

If the scientific progress of this century is taken into account, the prospect of a true mechanical intelligence that reaches the level of human sophistication – if it ever comes – is still a long way off.

Some classic trades, such as the doctor, will continue to exist.

The positions that are most likely to disappear in the short term are linked to

very repetitive

, routine and predictable roles.

They are generally low in efficiency and easy to automate, so an algorithm can replace them.

The professionals most valued by companies will be those with group leadership skills, with communication skills and who promote strategic thinking.

But you also need to have some of this knowledge:

Programming

There will be a significant demand for professionals with

STEM profiles

(specialists in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics), such as experts in robotics, the Internet of Things and M2M (communication between machines).

The shortage of programmers or developers is a global problem because the use of technology for decision-making and the transformation of production and business models have accelerated.

Everything related to computing, in addition to being current careers, is also the future.

And while automated programming—such as GitHub Copilot, a service that helps developers write code and give suggestions—will become increasingly accurate and effective, AI can't provide answers to problems that require determined bias.

Design or pure creation tasks always demand a good dose of lateral thinking, something that is still outside the range of action of synthetic intelligence.

The key data

The data analyst will have a key role.

The main material of which the web is constituted

is data

.

Besides being intangible, they need a mediator to be interpreted.

That is why Big Data Analysts were born, responsible for collecting and translating these codes into natural language.

This professional, specializing in mathematics and statistics, analyzes the information coming from digital ecosystems to unravel these patterns that reveal the secret behavior of the user.

Direct and effective communication should be one of its characteristics, since it will not only deal with the data scientist, but its mission will be that all the members of its environment understand this information.

Blockchain Architect

Blockchain experts.

This set of technologies makes it possible to maintain a decentralized, distributed, synchronized and, above all, very secure, record of the information used by electronic devices.

Its function is to keep a public record of digital operations and make its blockchains as decentralized and anonymous as possible, to safeguard the integrity of those who use its services.

Likewise, it is the responsibility of the system to operate smoothly.

At the moment there is no career that grants such a distinction, although there are various courses that can be taken to specialize and work in this area.

It is essential to have training in integration architectures, backends, microservices, and even devops but, above all, you must be very clear about the benefits that blockchain offers to understand the best way to apply them.

growth hacker

It is a discipline that is in full expansion.

Its function is to achieve the rapid growth of a startup, without consuming large resources, especially financial, but also personnel, technical, infrastructure or logistics.

Growth hackers are in charge of redefining a company's products or services and their distribution in order to reach the maximum number of consumers, without expensive advertising campaigns.

Thus, at the lowest cost and in the shortest possible time, you must analyze and measure the social trends of the markets and take advantage of that competitive advantage to achieve a good brand positioning.

Typically, he works alongside the creative team and data analyst to achieve immediate results.

They also depend on the optimization of time and resources offered by audience tools such as Web Scraping, Test AB and Inbound Marketing.

UX Designer

The UX Designer in charge of aesthetics.

It deals with managing the user experience.

Its mission is to make sure that the perception and feeling that the digital product leaves in the customer's mind are optimal.

Companies that work creating digital products, be it an application, a web service or a site, need to incorporate a UX Designer.

The demand for this professional profile has increased considerably in recent years and the curve continues to rise.

And although they are complementary with the UI Design, there are subtle differences.

While the UX addresses the needs of the users by providing the best experience, the UI designs the visual appearance.

To excel in this branch, it is necessary to have programming knowledge to recognize that a good design guarantees an effective visual language.

CFO

As much as there are AIs that perform calculations faster than humans, the CFO Tech position still involves making decisions and risks that computers are not capable of assuming.

With extensive technological knowledge, especially in IT infrastructure, Cloud Computing, the CFO must be attentive to the future of the crypto market, which is as volatile as it is tempting.

And while it is true that technological development can facilitate the work of these financial wizards, it will never replace them.

For a company it would be too reckless to delegate financial responsibilities to a robot.
