Lately, everyone’s been talking about robots taking over jobs. It might sound like science fiction, but with AI advancing at lightning speed, the way we work is shifting right before our eyes.
AI is helping industries improve and making things more efficient. But here’s the big question: Which jobs will AI take, and which jobs will disappear?
AI and Automation: What’s Happening Now?
Automation is not new. Since the Industrial Revolution, machines have been changing the way we work. But now, AI is bringing even bigger changes. It’s not just machines in factories anymore; it’s smart systems and robots in every industry.
- Retail and Customer Service: Automated checkout systems and AI chatbots are reducing the need for human workers. For example, Amazon has stores with no cashiers, and AI chatbots answer customer questions 24/7.
- Manufacturing and Logistics: Robots in factories can now do jobs faster and more accurately than humans. Companies like Tesla use robots to build cars, and DHL uses AI to plan better delivery routes.
