Redefining Careers In The Age of Artificial Intelligence

The job market, shaped by AI, is evolving, creating new roles and prompting a reconsideration of job structures. Despite concerns about job displacement, it's essential to recognize AI as a creator of new employment opportunities. Analyses foresee positive societal changes, including increased productivity, improved healthcare, and expanded education access. By 2025, while 85 million jobs may be displaced, 97 million new roles could emerge, highlighting evolving collaboration between humans and machines (World Economic Forum, 2020). This study analyzes how AI affects jobs in two categories; possible jobs at risk of being replaced, and existing jobs not at risk of being replaced. Certain jobs like telemarketers, retail store jobs, support specialists, shipment jobs, tax preparers, hard manual labor, etc. are prone to replacement by AI/Robots. Whereas jobs that require more empathy, emotion, critical thinking, and skilled labor like writers, designers, psychologists, doctors, teachers, etc. are likely to persist. The study also reveals jobs created in the AI revolution which maps the gaps in the new jobs created in three categories; individual-oriented, task-oriented, and industry-oriented AI. The AI workforce framework is proposed in AI-driven skill sets, AI-enabled jobs, and AI-supported businesses.
