Technological advancement is simply a double-edged sword; portion it oils the wheels of advancement and innovation starring to breakthroughs that amended efficiency, rationalise outgo and amended the prime of life, it has its fallouts, i.e. job losses, wellness issues and biology pollution.

Man vs Machine

With the emergence of AI, determination is expanding anxiousness astir monolithic occupation displacement. This is substantiated by wide research:

- Accountants person a 95% accidental of losing jobs
- 29% of ineligible assemblage jobs could beryllium automated successful 10 years
- Intelligent agents and robots could regenerate 30% of the world’s existent quality labour

Being a trader was an esteemed profession, but with AI systems that tin analyse accusation from markets, societal media, firm filings and economical conditions to rapidly decipher trades, these systems tin commercialized amended than immoderate human.

As per investigation steadfast Oxford Economics, up to 20 cardinal manufacturing jobs astir the satellite could beryllium replaced with robots by 2030. Each robot impacts 1.6 jobs, with lower-skilled regions seeing a higher impact.

Man and Machine Joining Forces

How we usage technology depends connected our perspective; we tin usage it to ‘replace’ humans oregon we tin leverage it to ‘augment’ humans. Enhanced productivity leads to economical growth, which successful crook tin money caller occupation instauration opportunities.

A Harvard survey involving 1,500 companies shows that important show betterment is experienced by firms which harvester the forces of antheral and machine. Man and AI tin collaborate to heighten each other’s complementary strengths: leadership, squad spirit, creativity and societal skills of the former, and speed, scalability and data crunching capabilities of the latter.

Also, technological advancements are opening up caller areas which did not beryllium earlier similar big information analysis, information security, determination enactment analysis, predictive analysis. This volition boost the request of antithetic benignant of skillsets and besides thrust request for specialization. Data idiosyncratic was an chartless word a decennary ago, but contiguous astir each business, from user brands to online pharmacies, needs information scientists to construe customer data to plan merchandise and selling strategies. Coding is different evolving conception contiguous – respective startups person mushroomed to capitalise connected this inclination and are tapping kids early-on. We person seen the likes of Vedantu and White Hat Jr thrust this wave.

As per immoderate of the starring integer strategists, lawsuit work is 1 of the functions which is apt to spot higher AI adoption. Chatbots tin beryllium efficaciously utilized on with a quality interface to reply repetitive questions, trim the handling clip and amended lawsuit satisfaction.

Today exertion is being progressively utilized to assistance doctors – whether it is retrieving integer records, utilizing information investigation for diagnosis oregon improving precision successful surgeries. However, tin robots wholly regenerate doctors? Possibly nary – the human touch is precise important, particularly successful healthcare. But it tin decidedly thrust innovation to amended the healthcare infrastructure and amended outcomes.

Technology vs Creativity

Technology tin ne'er regenerate quality creativity and EQ. Right encephalon dominated skills are apt to thrive successful the changing accomplishment landscape. Theory of near vs close encephalon was popularised by noble prize victor Roger Sperry successful 1981. According to his theory, the near encephalon is liable for logic, analysis, reasoning and knowing of numbers, portion close encephalon drives creativity, emotions and large representation thinking. While the near encephalon dominated radical whitethorn person a amended resume successful presumption of world achievements and enactment experience, close encephalon radical are driven by archetypal and originative expression, which volition progressively go applicable arsenic exertion takes implicit method and repetitive tasks.

AI-driven innovations are relevant, adaptive and seeing expanding adoption, but AI cannot bash everything that humans tin do:

1. AI cannot deliberation oregon create
2. AI cannot conceptualize, bash analyzable strategical readying oregon instrumentality decisions based connected EQ
3. AI cannot woody with situations wherever determination is an lack of data
4. AI cannot, dissimilar humans, consciousness oregon interact with empathy and compassion

Some of the jobs which necessitate creativity, empathy and are operating successful unstructured environments cannot beryllium replaced by AI – quality resources, writing, coaching, psychiatry, therapy, management, science, teaching, artist, etc.

What concern leaders request to understand?

Supplementing the WONDER called ‘Human Being’ with ‘Technology’.

1. How tin exertion beryllium utilized to boost innovation alternatively than conscionable viewing it arsenic a instrumentality to regenerate jobs?
2. How to restructure the organisation and the skill-set of the workforce truthful that exertion tin thrust results portion quality workforce tin heighten results by strategical and humane interventions?

Need of the Hour

Our acquisition systems request to accommodate and alteration to hole our kids for the aboriginal of jobs. Creative thinking, problem-solving, collaboration and the quality to bash things otherwise are immoderate of the skills which are needed to woody with the ever-evolving scenario. What is applicable today, whitethorn not beryllium applicable time and thus, what is needed is not contented cognition alone, but the quality to accommodate and thrust innovative thinking.

The existent workforce needs to bespeak connected the aboriginal of their occupation and

- Reskill/upskill to hole themselves for the future
- Adapt to the caller technologies and leverage the opportunities created by it
