As artificial intelligence continues to evolve, it’s clear that it will play an increasingly important role in shaping the job market of the future. While some fear that AI will replace human workers and cause mass unemployment,

For example, a 2019 report by the World Economic Forum suggested that AI could displace around 75 million jobs by 2022, but also create around 133 million new jobs. Other estimates have ranged from more modest predictions of job losses to more dire warnings of widespread unemployment. many experts believe that technology will actually create new jobs and opportunities that we can’t even imagine yet. Considering the unpredictability of the issue it's best to be safe side and learn a new and relevant skill to be able to keep up with the AI-driven future ahead of us.

So, what kind of jobs will AI be possibly creating?

AI trainers and explainers: As AI becomes more prevalent in our daily lives, there will be a growing need for people who can train and explain how the technology works to others. This could include teaching people how to use AI tools and software, as well as explaining the ethical and social implications of AI.

Data analysts and scientists: With AI generating massive amounts of data, there will be an increasing demand for people who can analyze and make sense of that data. Data analysts and scientists will be needed to help companies and organizations use AI to gather insights and make informed decisions.

Robot mechanics and repair technicians: As more and more robots are deployed in various industries, there will be a growing need for people who can maintain and repair these machines. This could include everything from fixing broken parts to programming new software.

Virtual reality designers and developers: As AI becomes more sophisticated, it will be able to create increasingly realistic virtual environments. This will open up new opportunities for designers and developers who can create immersive virtual experiences for everything from entertainment to education.

AI ethicists and policymakers: With AI raising complex ethical and social questions, there will be a growing need for people who can help shape AI policies and regulations. This could include everything from developing ethical guidelines for AI development to helping governments create laws that ensure AI is used responsibly.

These are just a few examples of the kinds of jobs that AI will probably be creating in the future. While there is no doubt that the technology will disrupt the job market, it’s important to remember that AI will also create new opportunities for those who are willing to adapt and embrace the changes that are coming.
