Did you know Will AI Create Jobs? This Staffing Agency Says Yes
The biggest concern that people tend to have whenever AI is brought up
is that it might make their jobs obsolete. Gen AI is capable of writing
books and screenplays, offering weather predictions and performing
various other tasks that once commanded a salary. In spite of the fact
that this is the case, the chief of a Zurich based staffing agency
seemed to think that AI will actually create more jobs than it
eliminates with all things having been considered and taken into
account.
Denis Machuel is the CEO of Adecco, and he opined
that the rise of AI is similar to the arrival of the internet. It might
cause significant disruptions that would eliminate certain forms of
employment at this current point in time, but in the long run, it will
replace those jobs with new roles that require the use of AI.
With all of that having been said and now out of the way, it is
important to note that white collar jobs will be affected more than blue
collar ones. Any role that involves the computing and processing of
information will likely fall by the wayside, so legal and financial
roles might be in jeopardy.
However, this doesn’t mean that all
lawyers will be AI in the future. Problem solving and critical thinking
are two things that AI hasn’t learned to do yet, at least not in the way
that humans can intuitively manage. Complex legal matters will still
require humans to make the right decisions, even if AI is handling the
more innocuous and routine aspects of their jobs.
Adecco is
playing its part by partnering with Microsoft to create a platform that
can help people see what career paths they can follow through with in
the age of AI. Many workers will have transferable skills for the most
part, and some new skills related to AI can be learned. This process is
essential because of the fact that this is the sort of thing that could
potentially end up opening up new avenues for people whose careers have
been upended by this brand new tech.
