Will AI Ruin Our Children's Future Careers?
There is no doubt that the influence of artificial intelligence (AI) is growing stronger by the day. Todd Kelsey's book, "Surfing the Tsunami", emphasizes why it's so important to not ignore AI. In fact, everyone should be a realist towards this subject, by acting "...on the data, both good and bad" (Kelsey, 2018). Without a doubt, AI is bound to bring changes to the professional field, by either replacing jobs, creating jobs, or removing jobs. But, the real question is, how will these changes affect the ways our children work, and make a living?
When it comes to one's children, every situation is taken seriously. Everyone wants the best for the future generation, which is a factor into why so many people are against the advances in AI. Simply, majority of the population thinks robots or software will out-qualify humans, and there is data to support their concerns. According to an article written by CBS News, the rise in artificial intelligence resulted in approximately 4,000 job losses in May 2023. In many different professional spaces, including the newsroom, ChatGPT seems to preferred in order to lighten the workload and increase creativity (Napolitano, 2023).
What does this mean for the future generation? If anything, news article like the following should be a wakeup call to individuals from today's generation. To protect our civilization, all while learning to adapt to these advances, we need to do our part and research, learn, and ask questions. We need to find ways to take advantage of the resources we are privileged to have and learn how to be more creative and impactful. This way, any individual can learn to work through the system rather than in it, and create a platform that future generations can learn from.
