RE: Robots Are Being Embraced By Businesses
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
I have witnessed first hand, automation is beginning to be more prominent in the financial services sector, like you mentioned near the end. Where there are lots of "bots" doing the work of many workers. Bots are even starting to replace call centres, although I think the technology is not really up top scratch yet, its very clear when you are talking to a chatbot vs a real person.
This makes me think, what advice would you give to children studying in the future, I think it all boils down to what jobs are hard to replace with machines and computers, I think parents may start to encourage children to branch out to more creative skills, as opposed to expecting them to be engineers, lawyers and accountants. Which are by no means going to become obsolete but do have a bigger threat from automation as there is less reliance on creativity in these roles.
You don't find too many blacksmiths around anymore today, which occupation is next, and how do we start retraining and helping those transition away from jobs at threat from automation.
Train humans how to dance and play.
A question often pondered.
There was the idea of focusing upon creative endeavors a few years ago since the belief was that computers will not be able to replicate that. Recently, we saw this theory obliterated as AI is now writing songs and creating videos.
Thus, outside cybersecurity, which we know will be important in the future, what does one go into? Tough choice. I think the key will be to remain flexible and do not get married to one career or profession. Things will change.
Getting involved in crypto is probably a great starting point since that is an equalizer in my opinion.
And yes Fintech started the process of automation a number of years ago and it is only accelerating.
