It is already known that many professional fields are at risk. The rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) questions the future of a number of jobs. Experts state that up to 50% of some jobs could disappear by 2030 due to automation.
Valyuta.az presents 5 sectors worldwide that are at risk and will be most affected by AI, according to a report by the online education platform Coursera:
Manufacturing and production
Administrative and clerical
Transportation and logistics
Retail sales
Customer service
Robot technologies, chatbots, and automated systems are already widespread, especially in manufacturing, retail, and administrative jobs.
Ways to protect your career against AI
Experts recommend the following steps:
Transition to strategy-oriented roles: Working in fields that require human judgment, decision-making, and relationship management, and use "AI" tools as support.
Low-risk professions: Roles based on physical labor, requiring care (healthcare, education), and management and project leadership roles that require human oversight of AI.
Development of "AI" skills: Reshaping your career portfolio by acquiring artificial intelligence certificates, courses, and skills.
Adaptability: Adapting to new technologies, monitoring industry trends, and continuous improvement.
Experts warn that while the impacts of "AI" vary from sector to sector, the most repetitive and predictable job tasks are at risk. In contrast, roles requiring strategic thinking, creativity, and high-level human interaction remain in a safe zone for now.
