Jake Croman discusses how AI is sure to disrupt the workforce as we know it. He explains that a recent McKinsey Global Institute report projects that 75 million to 375 million workers — 3% to 14% for the global workforce — will need to change occupations by 2030. But is our fear of AI taking over? Find out more here.

AI is sure to disrupt the workforce as we
know it. In fact, a recent McKinsey Global
Institute report projects that 75 million to
375 million workers — 3% to 14% for the
global workforce — will need to change
occupations by 2030.
But is the fear of AI overcharging our
nerves? While many people in the job force
are nervous about the disruptions AI will
cause various working industries, there’s
also a light at the end of the tunnel.

AND NEW ABILITIES —
THANKS TO AI
According to my research, AI and machine learning algorithms, like IBM
Watson, can now strategize chess moves and research medical solutions
With the advent of deep learning robots, they can also complete repetitiv
tasks. This can help us assess our own skills and practices in our everyday
professions, ultimately reshaping the way we learn and work.

... PwC reports that 39 percent of CEOs
are taking measures to prepare for
automation in their industry. Since,
they’ll have to keep up with emerging
trends, entrepreneurs and workers will
have to shift their skills. In effect, AI
could make humans more essential
when it comes to emotional intelligence
and cognitive skills on the job. As
software companies build more cognitive
AI tools, then they can help humans
utilize deeper learning techniques.

This theory states that as
data and information
increase with AI tools, our
brains will need to work
faster to keep up with
new data. As a result, can
help us better prepare
and perfect our skills for
more developed ways of
learning.

The future holds potential for the
future between man and machine
which will build a more informed,
emotionally intelligent, and
communicative workforce. In all,
AI is a tool to be harnessed, not
feared.
