 DRIVERS

• Let me put it this way: if your job consists of driving any type
of machenery, automobile or vehicle, you're gonna be out of a
job soon. Taxi drivers, bus drivers, truck drivers, Uber drivers
and delivery drivers are all on the verge of complete
automation. Above that we know that the next generation of
Tesla cars will be 100% autonomous. All major car
manufacturers are headed towards electric and self-driving
cars and those who won't will be left behind. In the near
future, riding in a car will be like getting in an elevator. You
just press a button and it takes you to wherever you want to
go.
 FARMERS

• Farming was huge when it came to employment numbers back in

the day. This changed dramatically. You might still see farming
as human labor intensive in the underdeveloped parts of the
world, but on a macro level, this has already been automated
with very few specially trained individuals that operate heavy
machinery from the comforts of the office via wireless
connections. Back in the day you needed to physically measure
your plot of land, needed human labor to weed it our and another
set of people to harvest and transport the end product to where
it's needed. Now we measure things with drones or satellite
imagery.
 CASHIER

• America alone has 8 million people working as cashiers and in-

store sales people. These people are going to be out of a job
sooner then they think. I know you've seen the self checkout
stations and they still have someone supervising them and
they're bugging now and then but we're not far from a total
takeover of the machines in this space. AI cashiers can go 24/7
without bringing the drama of their personal lives into the
workplace.
 TRAVEL AGENTS

• When is the last time you went to a travel agency to book a

flight? The likes of Skyscanner took over the flight ticket
industry. Booking.com over the hotel booking industry and
Airbnb is distrupting the hotel business as a whole. There's no
need for a third person to book the flight or hotel room for us. We
can do it ourselves. You can also tell Siri to book it for you.
 MANUFACTURING WORKERS

• When the Industrial Revolution hit, all the people working the fields
moved to work in factories. Handcrafting the machines that would
make our lives easier. In the process and with the advancement in
technology, these same people were put in charge of building
machines that build other machines that would eliminate the need
for humans. A fun thing to do is to compare the way cars were built
less then a hundred years ago in the factories of Volkswagen and
how they're built today. Back then, multiple humans were working
in tandem to put together the end product, while today you're
watching simple software at work.
 DISPATCHERS

• I know you're probably thinking of the days when someone had to manually
connect you to a different line in order to talk to someone but an astonishing
number of people are still working as dispatchers today. The role of the
dispatcher is to coordinate the field operators so things run smoothly for
everybody. It doesn't matter if you're a firefighter dispatcher working with
planes, the police or ambulances. We already have technology that is
massively outperforming you at your job and we're now figuring out just the
final touches on what is the best way to deploy that technology. Remember
only five years ago when you had to call someone and aks for a cab? How
do you ask for an Uber or a lift today: One algorithm making their way into
your particular niche of dispatching and your job is over.
 BANK TELLERS

• I'm sad to say this, as the lady at my bank has always been so nice to
me. But we're not going to the bank for social interaction. To be
honest, we don't go to the bank anymore or very rarely when a visit is
really needed. Otherwise we check out our balance on our
smartphones. Even the people on our payroll get their money
delivered to their accounts automatically, without the need for us to
manually and physically fill in a form with their details. If you want
to grab cash you go to an ATM. You can open a bank account to most
banks in the world online and only if you're looking for specialize
services, you might need to meet in person and even then you might
get the job done with a video call.
 FAST FOOD WORKERS

• Remember when people were asking for $15 an hour to work at

McDonald's? That's when automation kicks in. All the people portesting the
low wages for unskilled jobs will be the first ones to be hit if such an
increase in pay does happen. Fast food jobs are probably the easiest to
automate out of the list and to be honest, it would've happened anyway but
companies didn't do it right away, because they didn't have any incentive to
mess with some that's working fine right now, but now with all the protests,
the government might actually give in and that's when the wave of
automation takes over.
 CONSTRUCTION WORKERS

• Back here on earth, where people actually use their hands and backs
to make things happen. There are at least 200 million people working
in construction around the world and with developing countries,
wanting to expand, you'd expect a number to be on the rise. well, it
isn't and that's because technology is getting more and more efficient
and affordable. Developers now need more machines and a slightly
more specialize workforce to use the machines to build. As
technology progresses, we can see that construction workers will
follow the same path as those who used to work in the farming
industry in the past. Unless you're the owner of the enterprise or one
of those specialized employees who are further down the line of
automation, the future doesn't seem like a welcoming place for you.
 TELEMARKETER

• Have you noticed that there are already fewer and fewer
telemarketers? Their entire industry has been taken over by
targeted ads all around the internet and on all of your devices.
These ads are specially constructed, base on the information
the tech giants have gathered from your use on their
platforms. Facebook is not a charity. It uses all the data for
the things you like, click on, share or engage with to create a
custom profile for every single one of its users. Batch them
and sell them to other companies. Ads are getting smarter as
they learn more and more from you and that's why
telemarketers are obsolete.
JOBS THAT WILL BE MORE
POPULAR DUE TO AI
By: Kennan
 MACHINE LEARNING ENGINEER

• Machine learning engineers are at the intersection of software

engineering and data science. They leverage big data tools and
programming frameworks to create production-ready scalable data
science models that can handle terabytes of real-time data.
• Machine learning engineer jobs are best for anyone with a background
that combines data science, applied research, and software engineering.
AI jobs seek applicants with strong mathematical skills, experience in
machine learning, deep learning, neural networks, and cloud
applications, and programming skills in Java, Python, and Scala. It also
helps to be well-versed in software development IDE tools like Eclipse
and IntelliJ.
 BIG DATA ENGINEER

• Big data engineers and architects develop ecosystems that enable various
business verticals and technologies to communicate effectively.
Compared to data scientists, this role can feel more involved, as big data
engineers and architects typically are tasked with planning, designing,
and developing big data environments on Hadoop and Spark systems.
• Most companies prefer professionals with a Ph.D. in mathematics,
computer science, or related fields. However, as a more practical role
than that of, say, a research scientist, hands-on experience is often treated
as a good substitute for a lack of advanced degrees. Big data engineers
are expected to have programming skills in C++, Java, Python, or Scala.
They also need to have experience in data mining, data visualization, and
data migration.
 SOFTWARE ENGINEER

• AI software engineers build software products for AI applications. They

bring together development tasks like writing code, continuous integration,
quality control, API management, etc., for AI tasks. They develop and
maintain the software that data scientists and architects use. They stay
informed and updated about new artificial intelligence technologies.
• An AI software engineer is expected to be skilled in software engineering
and artificial intelligence. They need to have programming skills as
statistical/analytical skills. Companies typically look for a bachelor’s degree
in computer science, engineering, physics, mathematics, or statistics. To
land a job as an AI software engineer, certifications in AI or data science are
helpful too.
 SOFTWARE ARCHITECT

• Software architects design and maintain systems, tools, platforms, and

technical standards. AI software architects do this for artificial
intelligence technology. They create and maintain AI architecture, plan
and implement solutions, choose the toolkit, and ensure a smooth data
flow.
• AI-driven companies expect their software architects to have at least a
bachelor’s degree in computer science, information systems, or
software engineering. As a practical role, experience is as important as
educational qualification. Hands-on experience with cloud platforms,
data processes, software development, statistical analysis, etc., will
place you in good stead.
 DATA ANALYST

• For a long time, the data analyst was someone who collected, cleaned,
processed and analyzed data to glean insights. For the most part, these used to
be mundane, repetitive tasks. With the rise of AI, much of the mundane work
has been automated. Therefore, the data analyst role has upgraded to join the
new set of AI careers. Today, data analysts prepare data for machine learning
models and build meaningful reports based on the results.
• As a result, an AI data analyst needs to know more than just spreadsheets. They
need to be skilled in:
• SQL and other database languages to extract/process data
• Python for cleansing and analysis
• Analytics dashboards and visualization tools like Tableau, PowerBI, etc.
• Business intelligence to understand the market and organizational context
