 Artificial intelligence used to only exist in movies, in science fiction. Still, over the past decade, AI has been replacing jobs according to CNBC. 30% of jobs risk being taken over by AI. Recently, one of the biggest tech guys in the industry, Elon Musk, stated that AI will make jobs pointless. In this video, I will be sharing with you 10 jobs that artificial intelligence will take away. 1. Telemarketing. Have you ever heard those annoying calls that want to market some products? Well, guess what? Many of us have already experienced to receive automated phone calls in the telemarketing services. A poll by WillRobotsTakeMyJob.com suggested that it is 93% certain that automation will take over the telemarketing space in the next two decades. Unlike other sales roles, telemarketing is highly routine, repetitive and predictable, which leads to having a 99% probability of automation in the next couple of years. One of the biggest reasons behind this replacement is that conversion rates for direct phone telephone sales are relatively low, typically less than 10%, making this role one that will be automated to reduce costs. The probability of this job getting fully computerized is quite high, at least 99.9%. The career growth expectancy in telemarketing is meant to decrease by 3% in the upcoming years. 2. Receptionist. Receptionists are also highly expected to be replaced by robots. An automated touchscreen system or humanoid AI can easily replace the role of a receptionist. A poll by WillRobotsTakeMyJob.com suggested that it is 80% certain that automation will take over receptionist jobs in the next two decades. Robots are already deployed in the hospitality industries to provide information, front desk services, storage services, as well as checking and check out services of modern companies that can afford the technology. For instance, to hospitals in Belgium, robots are already taking reception duties. The receptionist's robots, which stands at 4 feet tall with a round head and screen on his chest, can recognize the human voice in 20 languages and detect if he is talking to a man, woman or child. 3. Bookkeeping. The likelihood of this job getting replaced by robots and AI-activated devices is almost 98%. Well, it's no surprise that this job is getting computerized as the growth in this role is expected to decrease by a solid 8%. Tools and applications like QuickBooks, Microsoft Office and other tools offer bookkeeping features and services. In 2013, two researchers from Oxford University published a study examining the extent to which jobs are susceptible to computerization. The results at least for accountants and bookkeepers were pretty grim. Bookkeeping had a 97.6% chance of being automated shortly. Accounting and auditing did only a little better at 95.3%. With a rapid increase in the fully automated tools and applications, the job of bookkeeping clerks will no longer need a person to keep all the books in check. 4. Retail Sales People. Did you know that according to Deloitte, about 41% of Canadian companies have already implemented cognitive and AI technologies? Well, the reason for this adoption by those companies is that AI shits the focus to how high sales reps close deals, not send emails. Artificial intelligence will replace salespeople even faster than sensors combined with algorithms will replace drivers. 95% of current sales roles will be entirely automated by 2036 and probably a lot sooner than that. When it comes to sales, we've already seen AI replace basic jobs in retail and fast food. Although AI won't make all salespeople's jobs irrelevant, though, however, it will take a lot more than being a mere salesperson to be able to retain your position and stay significant. Sites like Amazon and Netflix use AI to make spot on recommendations for what we should buy or watch next. And e-commerce has ultimately taken away the need for salespeople to explain things. 5. Couriers Aside from the manufacturing industry, the logistics and transport sectors will be most affected when robotic automation booms in the future years. A poll on Hubspot.com shows that the likelihood for AI to take the jobs of couriers in 94%. These statistics prove that in the next few years, your delivery boy will no longer have a human form. Couriers and deliver people are already being replaced by drones and robots capable of traveling by air or wheels. Starship's technology recently launched its tiny self-driving robots which can deliver goods from various diners in Redwood City to its customers within a two mile radius. Thus, it's only a matter of time until this space is dominated by automation altogether. This space is expected to grow by 5% in 2024, so it might not happen as quickly as you think. 6. Accountant Various researchers have shown that robots are better in accounting tasks than humans. Hence, finance jobs may soon be replaced by AIs, which could compute and analyze data faster. There is no denying that computerized devices are much better at financing and accounting than any human will ever be. Many companies and business organizations have already automated their financing and accounting systems and no longer need a human employee to monitor and track payables and receivables. Still, experts believe that automation will not destroy the accounting industry, but rather strengthen it. However, for individuals who bagged only bachelor's or even a master's degree in accounting without taking additional advanced and digital courses, their jobs are predicted to be replaced by AI. 7. Security Guard An article by Tribune Content Agency, LLC, in 2007, stated that the security guard of the future is an all-seen robot endowed with laser scanning, thermal imaging, 360-degree video, and sensors for all kinds of signals. Today, AI has taken the security world by storm, particularly when it comes to the state-of-the-art security measures and protocols. A poll from WillRobotsTakeMyJobs.com suggests that there is a 58% chance of automation in the security sector within the next two decades. The evolution of technology in the field of security is commendable, with facial recognition systems to high-tech robotic guards. AI has made considerable advancement in the field of security. Although a report by the White House in 2016 suggests that AI will be a complement to humans in terms of safety and technology, it is essential to understand that the jobs for security guards will be significantly advanced. As such, the number of guards will reduce. 8. Market Research Analyst A new study of artificial intelligence suggests better-paid, better-educated workers might be more impacted by automation than previously thought. In fact, knowledge workers are said to be the most impacted by future automation, with the possibility of AI taking over the jobs of market research analysts at a whopping 61%. Analysts are responsible for conducting comprehensive market research on their competitors. Indeed, market research analysts play a significant role in the development of messaging, content and products, but automated AIs and surveys can compile information more and more efficiently. A typical example is Growthbot, an AI package that can conduct market research on nearby businesses and competitors with a simple Slack command. Automated robots are gaining popularity in the business and market sectors because they tend to produce a highly accurate and comprehensive market research report. 9. Computer Support Specialist The field is projected to grow 12% by 2024, but with so much content on the internet, with instructions, step-by-step guides and hacks out there, it's no surprise that companies will rely more heavily on bots and automation to answer support questions from employees and customers in the future. With a rapid increase in online content, tips, guidelines and instructions, many large organizations now rely on automated robots and software to answer FAQs and customer support questions. The replacement possibility of this job is estimated to be 65%. 10. Advertising Managers Hubspot.com has predicted that the rate at which AI would take over advertising jobs is 54%. AI is now being used to create a content strategy and email marketing playbooks for marketers. The use of AI makes it possible for sales calls and advertising processes to be carried out quicker than any sales manager. In fact, according to one study, telemarketing is predicted to decline by the year 2024, mainly because of robo-collars that can take the place of telemarketers. Advertising has shifted from print media and TV to online and social marketing. Many large organizations utilize animation studio services to obtain high-quality animated business ads and explainer videos. More social media platforms and digital advertising methods make it easy for people to buy space through free application programs interfaces, APIs and self-serve and marketplaces, removing the advertising personnel and making it faster and easier for users to make money. The growth of this process is reflected to be projected at 3% decline in the industry of recent. Considering how many technological advancements have impacted our lives, one can say there's no limit to technological advancements. In the beginning, computers astounded the whole world. And now AI.
