AI Is Coming For Our Jobs: 5 Roles That Artificial Intelligence Might Take Over In Malta
No need to worry about foreigners taking our jobs anymore; artificial intelligence will beat them to it.
Many Maltese employees from various industries are already using AI models, like the most recent ChatGPT, to help them in their work.
Although the chatbot can generate wrong information and produce errors, in a future-world, it may surpass human intelligence and skills because it gets smarter with time.
However, human judgement would still need to be applied to this technology, at least definitely in the near future.
Experts have compiled a list of jobs that are at high risk of being replaced by AI, here are ones that could be beneficial (or not) on our islands:
1. Customer Service Agents
This might come as good news to people actually working in customer service. You no longer have to listen to a Maltese Karen shouting at the other end of the phone line because her phone data isn’t working.
If a chatbot like ChatGPT could start answering queries on a certain product or service, Karens better beware… you wouldn’t be able to shout at the robot.
2. Media jobs (content creation, journalism, advertising)
ChatGPT can currently replace all media jobs if people decided to use it.
I reiterate that these jobs would still need human judgement, and workers wouldn’t be able to rely completely on the AI because most media jobs require a sense of relevancy. ChatGPT is not quite as advanced yet to understand every aspect of a specific group’s culture, for it does not have identity.
3. Teachers
Teachers shouldn’t be worried about students cheating, but about their job security.
Students who don’t pay attention in class are already going home and asking ChatGPT questions for their essays. ChatGPT ”can easily teach classes already”, Pengcheng Shi, an associate dean in the department of computing and information sciences at Rochester Institute of Technology, told the New York Post.
4. Tech jobs (coders, computer programmers, software engineers, data analysts)
AI is good at crunching numbers, in fact, it can produce code faster than humans – although these jobs are in high demand, some of the spots may be replaced by AI in the near future.
OpenAI, the company which created ChatGPT, is already contemplating replacing their software engineers with AI.
5. Graphic Designers
Sorry to all the future architects and graphic designers, but AI is out to get you too. Three Harvard professors pointed to DALL-E, an AI tool that can produce illustrations in just a few seconds, saying that this could be a possible disruptor of the graphic design industry.
