It is evident that, every day, there are more automated jobs. The fear that the rise of robotics will lead to an excessive increase in unemployment is something that is very present in society. But it is clear that, at the moment, the machines will not be able to do any work.
Shelly Palmer, CEO of The Palmer Group, a strategic technology-related company, has compiled a list of what they believe are the five professions that will stand up to robot assault until the end. If you dedicate yourself to any of them, congratulations, because your job is guaranteed. At least for now.
1.Athletics
As long as our species admires excellence, there will continue to be human athletes. Although the genetic modification is likely to make its appearance in the field of sports competition in the near future.
2.Psychiatrists and psychologists
Shelley Palmer admits that physicians will rely more and more with the help of artificial intelligence in their work, and that there will even be systems that can predict the potential risk of a person committing suicide. But the personality and the human brain have nuances that make them unpredictable. That is why we are far from being able to create AI systems that can effectively understand and treat all the complexity of mental disorders.
3.Judges
It is enough to know exactly all the existing laws and codes and apply them in each specific case. And, being thus, a robot could perfectly play said paper. But, according to Shelley Palmer, dictating justice is also subject to subjective nuances. The ability to interpret the law in each case is precisely what makes it human. And as long as we continue to value that quality, a judge of flesh and blood will always be preferable to a robotic one.
4.Politicians
Politics is linked to the very essence of the human being. Machines do not need it, since they are guided by meritocracy, as the specialist explains. In addition, politicians always have the ability to legislate to prohibit their function from being performed by anyone other than a human being. Come on, they play to advantage.
5.Teachers and teachers
“If we want our children to grow up as human beings, teaching them has to be a task that is taken care of by one of our species,” concludes Shelly Palmer.
