What professions will be replaced by AI?

June 28, 2023

Most certainly, all professions (all) will be impacted by artificial intelligence (AI) in the next three decades. That does not mean that all professions will be replace by AI. It means that all professions will be impacted one way or another by AI. 

In general, licensed professions (i.e. trades that require professional certification and licensure) will the most protected from full replacement by AI. Think about medical doctors, for example. What are the chances that in the next 30 years, the U.S. Congress will allow machines to independently administer medical services to patients in the USA? Chances are very slim. However, outside of the USA, and online, reality may be different. 

The same rationale above to most other licensed professions in the USA (e.g. engineers, lawyers, CPAs, dentists, optometrists, chiropractors, etc). These professions will most likely find ways to ensure legal protections against full replacement by AI. Non-licensed trades and professions, however, may follow a different path altogether. Companies will most likely replace non-licensed workers with AI robots as soon as technological and economically feasible. 

That does not mean that human workers are doomed. Slaves were not doomed after emancipation. Agricultural workers and farmers were not doomed after the industrial revolution. Instead, history has shown that technology allows for liberation of humans. Once humans are replaced from certain fields, either by legal or technological changes, humans are free to pursue other occupations and endeavors of the mind. If history repeats itself, despite many changes, AI technology will most likely prove to be a positive net gain for humanity.

Yet again, with the advancement of AI and automation technologies, all professions will be impacted and certain professions will be more impacted than others. Many industries and professions will be completely or at least partially transformed. Below are some sectors that are more susceptible to AI-driven automation:

Routine Manual Labor: Jobs involving repetitive and predictable physical tasks, such as assembly line work, basic data entry, packaging, or some types of manufacturing, are more likely to be automated.

Data Entry and Processing: Positions that primarily involve data entry, data processing, or basic record keeping may be automated by AI systems capable of extracting and processing information from various sources.

Customer Service and Support: AI-powered chatbots and virtual assistants are increasingly being used to handle basic customer inquiries and support requests. While human interaction is still valued for complex issues, routine queries may be automated.

Transportation and Delivery: Self-driving vehicles and drones have the potential to disrupt transportation and delivery industries, impacting professions such as truck driving, delivery services, and taxi/ride-hailing services.

Data Analysis and Insights: AI systems equipped with machine learning algorithms can analyze vast amounts of data, potentially reducing the need for manual data analysis and insights generation in certain fields like finance, market research, and data science.

Retail and Hospitality: With the rise of automated checkout systems, self-service kiosks, and robotic assistance, certain retail and hospitality roles like cashiers, ticketing agents, or hotel concierge might be affected.

It's important to repeat and emphasize that while AI automation may eliminate or alter some job tasks, it can also create new opportunities and transform industries. Additionally, professions that involve complex human interactions, creativity, critical thinking, emotional intelligence, and adaptability will be generally less susceptible to full automation. Keep in mind that professions involving sensitive human interactions may also be subject to licensing requirements and additional legal protections. 

Stay tuned to everything AI. The technology is here, and will stay with us forever.

When will the Tesla bubble burst?

December 11, 2024 When will the Tesla bubble burst?  We don't know Fools rush in. It's impossible to know exactly when the Tesla bubble will finally burst. Unfortunately for us at Creatix, we began shorting Tesla too soon. We are down almost 40% on our position as of today. We are not fooling ourselves thinking that we were ever make money on the short position. We truly doubt that Tesla can go down 40% any time soon.  We would love to add to the short position, but it would exceed our $3,000 limit on the stupid bets that we do for fun. We're not Mr. Beast. We have a very limited budget for ridiculousness. We would love to short Tesla tomorrow morning at the ridiculous share price of $424. Tesla is trading at an incredible 116 times earnings, which gives Tesla a market capitalization of $1.32 Trillion. Elon Musk added today $13.4 billion to his fortune. Yes, $13 billion in one day. Yesterday, he had added $11 billion. Yes, that's $24 billion in 2 days.  Six months ago, ...

Are we closer to World War III after Assad's' fall in Syria?

December 8, 2024 Are we closer to World War III after Assad's fall in Syria?    Well, yes because World War III will be in the future and we are always closer to the future. Now, that future has not been created yet so it's impossible to predict it with full accuracy. Whether the world moves into WWIII after Assad's fall will greatly depend on what Putin decides to do. After all, Assad is hiding in Russia from where he could try to organize a come back. We should all prepare for WWIII. Sooner or later WWIII will be real. Perhaps we are already at the initial stages and have not realized it. a WWIII will most likely bring significant human suffering and significant technological advances. Who will win, how will WWIII play out? No one knows yet. The future has not been created yet.  In this post we take a quick look into Syria's history including who is Bashar al-Assad, and what may happen in Syria and the region now that Assad's regime collapsed and the dictator is i...

What is the best deal for Panama?

February 1, 2025 What is the best deal for Panama? Trump wants the American Canal in Panama back. What should Panama do?  Panama should lease the canal to the United States. Panama can then hope that a future president can end the lease or renegotiate it in the future. Panama earns about $5 billion a year operating the canal. Panama should negotiate a lease with the United States that allows Panama to either earn or save about that amount per year. The lease may call for improvements to the canal paid by the United States. The lease may call for other economic concessions to Panama such as a special trade agreement, tariff exemptions, direct U.S. investments in Panama, fintech and cryptocurrency deals, etc.  Panama should see Trump's interest in the canal as a blessing in disguise and as an opportunity to enter into a strategic money-making deal. Panama should not see itself as a victim. The truth is that the United States built the canal and that the United States freed Panam...
