Workers are in danger because of AI?

[Aanuoluwatofunmi]

We should see the beauty with the use of AI than the negative, the intention for it was to make everything work for the perfection of how we manage our daily lives, the use of AI jas brought in many opportunities for us in making our work done so easy a d very fast, we should instead encourage for more adoption on it use and also make take the very opportunity on it for our own sustainability in whatever we do.

About "risk zones" - I think it is very important to discuss this and understand where there are real risks, such a discussion will be more useful!

AI is for sure is real and can be here to stay and will be defining the kind of future that we will have. There are, of course, many possible risks in the sense that there will be people to be replaced by AI as workers but at the same time there are opportunities for efficiency and a lot of savings (and profits, yes) for different companies doing business. Take for example, the fast food industries...it is already applying AI in many ways especially in the face of increasing wages, salaries and benefits to crew and staff. Why not invest in AI that can work 24/7, will not complain in any manner and will not drag you to court for any reason? The big opportunity for now lies on companies and people who are providing the AI and other gadgets necessary to make things work. I am just wondering...will one day we in this forum will also be replaced by AI?

The fact is that what we are presented with today as "AI" is not artificial intelligence, it is a technology for working more efficiently with existing information, and building more efficient data modeling models. It works on previously generated data, it works by executing human commands. It's a new round of technological development for humanity. It's like the transition from horse traction to the steam engine. And this is a natural process, as a result of which, expectedly, some people will lose their jobs. Progress always leads to the fact that a certain number of people whose work can be replaced by a more efficient solution. Yes, it does not sound very humane, but it has always been so and it will always be so.

Workers are in danger because of AI?

The introduction of artificial intelligence (AI) systems in the workplace has sparked concerns about job security and potential replacements for human workers

Ok, I am going to give you a scenario here: during the olden days, our (my people) people farmed a lot with different manual tools and equipment. Due to the physical strength of some animals, the farmers use them to transport their farm products to the market, while some animals assist in the construction of ridges too. But in the 21st century,we now have buses and trucks that help in the transportation of those farm products to the market. We also have some automatic machines that construct ridges, while there are some that till the soil. We also have machines that harvest the fruits, and other existing automatic machines that have made farm work easier.

With the above scenario being narrated, my question is: did the development of new farm equipment stop farmers from doing the work they are supposed to do? The answer is no. Now that trucks are used to transport goods, there is still a need to employ a human as a driver. All the new farming equipment still requires someone to operate it and also service it. It still needs someone to clean them up and maintain them for efficient work.

In conclusion, even if AI keeps evolving, it will not totally take up all the human work but will still create another opportunity for humans.

Yes, I agree It will not take all the human work because human work is hard to replace and the new technologies today give us opportunities to make our jobs faster and more efficient with less effort. but there are still affected people but not all.

Indeed.
Inasmuch as AIs and technologies are taking over the job sectors and even some manpower sectors, there are still several tasks and jobs that requires human intelligence to carry them out excellently, yes technologies and artificial intelligence can help in somewhat way to facilitate the work and make it more efficient and less stressful for humans to perform, but at the end, it all still requires human efforts and intelligence to get the work done.
And for those that are affected and replaced by Artificial intelligence, it's actually not the end for them, they can easily move with the technological tide and advance alongside with it by learning new skills that only requires human intelligence to perform, that way they can get other opportunities and earn themselves a good living.

Until we have queues for service due lack of personal, what kind of danger from AI are we talking about? There are still a lot of jobs that search for employees. People are just used to sit in cozy offices, spend part of the day surfing the internet, drink coffee and go to 1-2h lunches, as well as receive huge salaries. Of course they are so much used to their everyday comfort, that they in panic that they will be replaced by something that work more efficient. But we still have plenty of works that require hands and creativity to work.

Even if we can see the beauty of AI, we can't deny the fact of bad impacts of AI. In my country, there are many factory workers to be jobless because of the use of AI in many factories. When many people become jobless, it is not the beauty of AI, it is the bad side of the use of AI. I can agree that those jobless people should look for new jobs, but it is not easy to get new jobs now. Moreover with the bad economic condition in many countries in the world, it makes many companies to reduce their workers.

Please what's is that job that AI has taken from your people in your country because I'm really curious to know. I have just been hearing about AI but no one has clearly state one that they have seen used in reality other than the usual online ones like AI for writing, asking quick questions and getting immediate answers and also doing demo graphics pictures and images.

I don't really think we are there yet to think that AI are going to collect all the jobs from people. Beside, we all agreed that we want machines to help our life's better and faster and AI are copying our behavior and improving on them to serve us even better. My only problem with them is privacy issue and data protection.

there are already robotics who serve in restaurants without the help of the servers at all

but i don't think ai is completely replacing everyone just yet ai no matter how helpful is still not perfect and still require some help from humans to actually operate

My only problem with them is privacy issue and data protection.

ai operates based on data it collects from humans which makes us a lot more vulnerable we definitely have to be more careful and choose the information we put out

It's very unwise to think that, the rise of AI will take the whole job of humans. It will not, it only takes some but still, it will all fall under the control of human beings because it's still human beings who will have control of it, on how it will function. The automated farming tools you gave the example of, did the work on their own without human beings control.

What I suspect the AI will do in the upcoming years is reduce job opportunities for humans. A job that needs 10 individuals, with the introduction of AI to the job, the job can demand about 4 or 5 individuals, reducing the job opportunities for humans

There's no reason why should be concerned if ever we are replaced by AI on our jobs. AI was created to assist us, humans, and given a program to replicate our abilities. However, AI's abilities are limited to the information programmed into them. Unlike humans, we have no limits to our learning and continuously progress over time.

People worry that one day Ai might take over the human race and try to dominate, probably because they have been exposed to too many science fiction or perhaps they have actually seen something that gives them that conviction. But just like you said AI was created to assist us and make things easier for us. If humans can create something like this is it possible for the creators to be replaced by what they created? I don't think that's possible, instead of having this thought just use Ai to your advantage

Artificial intelligence is a type of simulation that can think like a human. At the same time, it solves complex problems. Not only that, like humans can learn new things and solve problems accordingly. That is, artificial intelligence is a big part of artificial intelligence after the intelligence of human life. But people cannot stay inside work continuously for long time because people need some time break. But in that case the AI ​​has no rest so it will be way ahead in terms of work. But since it is operated with human-made programs, it can never defeat humans.

[dkbit98]

Sure, workers will be more in danger in near future, big owners and controllers don't need so much people on earth.
I recently watched crap sci-fi movie that probably serves as preprograming, but almost all workers were replaced by robots.
Even in hospitals, doctors and surgeons are all robots, in constructions and everywhere only robots, and one of them goes crazy.

There are many similar arguments for or against AI during the Industrial Revolution, especially about labor and gains in productivity. There are jobs that will certainly be affected by AI such as those involving routine tasks. Other jobs will evolve. Those that require creativity, emotional connection, and complex problem-solving will continue to be sought after. It is difficult to stop progress, even if it initially seems to be a bad thing. The best we can do is learn more about AI, find out how we can upskill, and adapt to living with AI.

Very important, noting the industrial revolution. Time and  seasons happens. At this time, ai has come like every other revolution which came and human is found still standing... It is about making the best out of ai, displacement will happen and has been part of work environment (out of bias and obvious facts).
 That of ai displacement, some companies might regret laying off some staff as ai can't completely replace human at least for now. Also the need for quality and other human responds had make ai a second choice for some global giants. Much more ai contents are highly prohibited in some places.

[electronicash]

if after finding out today your job is not anymore needed because of AI. what sort of plans should you have by now? 
things are different these days when you learn how much AI can do. we've seen some videos and images created by AIs, i can't imagine what it can do 5 years from now.  because even the engineers might lose their jobs.

so can you tell your sons or daughters which collage course should they take that they will survive and be proud of themselves?
