Could your job be wiped out by AI technology?

As Artificial Intelligence technology continues to fundamentally reshape virtually all aspects of life, the workplace could be among the first to see dramatic change.

A leading expert in technology has offered a forecast on the professions that may soon no longer exist, at least in a way that will require the services of a human employee.

Niusha Shafiabady, an associate professor of computational intelligence at the Australian Catholic University’s Peter Faber Business School, says these jobs are most likely to be disrupted by AI are education and health services, professional and business services, and leisure and hospitality.

Here are a few examples.

In the education space, Dr. Shafiabady says, those in a secretarial role at schools and universities could be replaced “relatively quickly” by AI. Librarians are also at risk, as are specialists who teach extra-curricular pursuits, such as music.

In the professional and business services space, customer service representatives and fast food workers are most at risk. Across the US, major fast food chains are already piloting the use of AI in drive-throughs.

In the leisure and hospitality industries, hotel concierges are likely to disappear, with AI able to replicate the vast majority of tasks.

Are you worried that your job could eventually be replaced by AI?
