If you are in any career or job which can be done remotely, you are at the risk of not only getting replaced but at the risk of career extinction. Any job you don't need to be onsite is at risk of extinction. All remote jobs are at risk.
Some careers are about to be documented in history as careers which on Remote Sales, Remote Customer Service, Writers, and Virtual Assistants are all going extinct and will be replaced by AI agents.
Let me tell you more.
In the future, the thinking processes of sound engineers will be needed; engineers will be in very high demand, as the capabilities of Artificial Intelligence continue to grow, we will still require thinkers who can be the brains behind things we put together. You'll see a lot of AI agent-assisted Engineers; For fields like architecture, there'll be disruption, now we will have licensed architects as agents, generate a land survey, and analyze the land to get it ready for building approvals. Careers like accounting are the most vulnerable. It is time to upskill in roles requiring oversight of assistive AI.
Healthcare Artificial Intelligence agents will be able to analyze data more than humans can do - there'll be Agent-assisted medical doctors using Artificial intelligence to analyze medical data every during open heart surgeries. We will begin to see chefs using AI agents to formulate new recipes and mixes. If you are in any career right now that you are doing remotely, you are highly replaceable. Every job that you don't need to be onsite is at risk. It is not limited to that only. All remote jobs are at risk.
The two areas people should be looking into are robotics; Robotics will be very major and will be in high demand, and you will need engineers to guide the brains, Robotics Core engineering careers must be a priority. Right now, there are a lot of rule-based robots, but now, there’s going to be more dynamic robots and engineers will lead this revolution. Careers like robotics will be in high demand; mechanics will be in high demand;
Now let's talk about what needs to be done.
For professionals, Most roles can be easily assisted by AI, but the human touch and personal experience needed to provide leadership oversight and decision-making will survive. Also, you cannot solely operate remotely and expect to survive in most roles, that time is long gone; online to offline will win.
For Parents, develop the engineering core of your children, engineering, and coding skills are a must. Not because you're solely preparing children to be able to code, but for strong reasoning, logic, and complex problem-solving.
Hands-on mechanics are a must for robotics, those mechanics are going to be assisted by artificial intelligence, but the reasoning of strong engineers.
The mining industry is going to be very important; miners who can mine metals for batteries, and lithium are important. New compounds will be discovered, and miners will be needed. We will need a lot of material engineers.
It’s only a matter of time before smart governments adopt AI in governance; multiple use cases can be simulated about the consequences of a policy/bill. Different countries, if they are smart, must begin to set up multiple data centers especially because of these open source models. They are proving to the better than the closed-source models and they will begin to make a lot of decisions based on that.
Hardware manufacturing will require the brains of solid mechanical engineers, to continue to manufacture new types of chips to handle more advanced processes. Different types of computing paradigms will continue to emerge like you have the chips for AI, and more computing chips for complex processes will emerge.
Watch out for part 2.
