Artificial intelligence (AI) advancements have drawn more attention than ever since the dawn of

the 21st century, the century of invention and technology. Many scientists have the audacious
belief that artificial intelligence (AI) will soon entirely take over and replace humans in all
aspects of daily life. Scientist Stephen Hawking previously stated in a BBC interview:

“The development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race… It would
take off on its own, and re-design itself at an ever-increasing rate. Humans, who are limited by
slow biological evolution, couldn’t compete, and would be superseded.”

However, this topic also sparks a great deal of noteworthy disagreement throughout the entire
society. No matter how much AI advances in the future, according to some academics, it will
never be able to take the place of humans. In my perspective, artificial intelligence (AI) has the
potential to replace humans in certain positions and roles, but the fantasy of AI taking over the
human role is unlikely to become a reality. This essay will demonstrate that despite being
essential to the operations of many industries, machines cannot replace all humans' jobs.

First of all, what is AI The Oxford English Dictionary defines artificial intelligence as: “The
theory and development of computer systems able to perform tasks that normally require
human intelligence, such as visual perception, speech recognition, decision-making, and
translation between languages”.

Proven studies and practical applications have made yesterday’s doubters silenced – many
human-held employments have been seriously threatened by the rapid advancement of
technology. According to the World Economic Forum's "The Future of Jobs Report 2020," AI is
expected to replace 85 million jobs worldwide by 2025. Also, the Oxford Martin School's
Programme on the Impacts of Future Technology has published a report, which concludes that
within the next two decades, technology will pose a serious threat to 45 percent of American
jobs. According to the writers, this takeover will occur in two phases. First, workers in
particularly vulnerable industries like transportation and logistics, industrial work, and
administrative support will begin to be replaced by algorithms. In this initial stage, jobs in
construction, sales, and services may also disappear. Due to limitations in more difficult-to-
automate industries like engineering, the rate of substitution will then slow. A second wave of
computerization will follow this "technological plateau," but only if good artificial intelligence is
created. Next, this might jeopardize positions in management, research, engineering, and the arts.
It is increasingly evident that artificial intelligence has made leaps and bounds in the last decade.
However, AI should not be viewed as a replacement for human labor, but rather as a tool to
augment it because AI has the potential to dramatically increase human productivity by taking
over time consuming, mundane tasks, allowing humans to focus on more important and
specialized roles. Kai-Fu Lee, AI expert and CEO of Sinovation Ventures, cited four basic
weaknesses of AI that will prevent it from taking over certain jobs which will be detailly
explained below.

Firstly, AI is unable to produce, envision, or oversee complicated strategic planning. Therefore,

regarding employment loss, top attorneys won't have anything to worry about. The cognitive
intricacies, tactics, and styles of human engagement that are beyond the capability of AI include
reasoning across domains, gaining clients' trust, using years of expertise in court, and being able
to persuade a jury.

Secondly, AI is incapable of performing difficult tasks that call for excellent hand-eye
coordination. As a result, AI faces a challenge with dexterity. Utilizing incredibly light palm
pressure and having the ability to detect minute changes in a client's body are essential
components of massage therapy, chiropractic treatment, and physical therapy. Additionally, all
chiropractors have the responsibility of delivering continual, professional, one-on-one
engagement, individually tailoring therapy for each client, and avoiding inadvertently injuring a
client. This profession is essentially humanistic and unsuited to AI due to the fundamental
characteristics of treatment.

Last but not least, AI cannot sense empathy or compassion, unlike humans, therefore it is
doubtful that people will choose to use an apathetic robot for traditional communication services.
For careers in psychiatry and social work, among other fields, strong emotional intelligence, the
ability to communicate with patients, comfort patients during trauma, and the ability to provide
continuing support are required for these occupations. These are all examples of mechanical
faults.

There is little doubt that the AI revolution will necessitate several sacrifices and readjustments,
but my point is that jobs requiring care, creativity, and knowledge will continue to be crucial to
our society, and that the empathy and compassion that humans possess will be an asset in the
workforce of the future.
