So as an individual how do you plan to have a secured job considering that every job is at risk?

Like the famous quote says, "The trend is your friend."
This is applicable in the market and it's a big help for us investors, but it can also help other people other things as well.

What's the trend right now? AI, right? Right now, many companies are using AI to maximize what they're doing with only minimal effort with minimal number of employees. What's the best thing to do to have a secure job? Leverage AI. Learn how to use AI in order for us to have a job. I know that this technology will affect many industries. From photography to video editing and we've seen tech sectors laying off many employees already because they want to integrate AI with their business because that means lesser employees and lesser cost.

Learning and maximizing the use of AI to our advantage for me is the best way for us to have a secure job. Right now, nobody is safe (aside from those that are in the medical sector) because anytime can lose their job because of this technology.

the answer is simple for me  , try not to be an employee but try to built your own business/company so from this you will never be off against AI/Robots because you are now the boss and will serve your client.
this is the sad reality of development that we are now leaning towards technology and the human skills is slowly dying , because we are now fond of high or speed result than the traditional one.

Being your own boss doesn't eradicate the root cause here, let's assume someone working in a bakery and mastered baking now thinks in the future a robot could take his job and go out and start his bakery but still, the machines are going to make things to more perfection than an actual human with negligible maintenance cost than paying salary so as a business owner we can run the bakery with little to no profits if we decided to compete against the evolution.

@bitterguy28 has said it all, being your own Boss is the best because you control whatever you are doing for income. Like the example that you gave, since @bitterguy28 is the Boss, he must have saved up to an extent that he can afford to buy a machine that will work in his bakery while he relax. Or are you saying that those robots will not have people who they work in their companies. It is only the employee that suffers by losing his job, and not the employer who will use AI to get his job done and make more profit.

With the technological advancement, more and more companies have started relying on technology rather than human. With this in mind a lot of companies have cut their work force. Although technological innovations have many advantages, they also have many disadvantages.

That's the way it's always been !
Those who first domesticated horses and buffalo - gave up the manual cultivation of fields.
Those who invented the windmill and watermill - gave up hundreds of hands of flour millers....
Those who learned to raise livestock - gave up the services of hunters ...
Those who invented the steam engine - abandoned those who were engaged in horse-drawn transportation...
Those who invented the internal combustion engine - gave up steam engines, steam boiler stokers, and other maintenance people ...
It's called PROGRESS, and it always will be. That which allows to reduce costs and improve quality will replace that which gives a lower quality and more expensive product/service

Almost every tech giant cuts off their employees a lot to cut down their operational costs and this resulted in the emergence of AI which swapped the requirement of an actual human needed for the task and the trend will likely follow in the coming years too.

The condition remains the same in every field, an exception could be the medical field.

So as an individual how do you plan to have a secured job considering that every job is at risk?

Even with all these, there is no how we can totally rely on the use of AI in some aspect of human lives and the economy because we still needs man intelligence in making some decisions in which a programmed device couldn't, we are free to make use of any AI build technology device and this is just to simply fasten our work done in most areas and this will definitely reduce the dependencies for man labour in many of the employment settings but it cannot be hundred percent effective as when man in fully involved.

That is why if technological advancement has something like a disadvantages that is where human intervention will play and that is I think we need to study and earn more knowledge on it to grab the opportunity to make money out of it.

These artificial intelligence and machines that are taking jobs for humans will require people to maintain them and run updates, as they cannot do that for themselves. This means that some humans will still be indispensable, considering their skill set and specialty. My advice is that, as an individual currently working in the sector where you know that your job is threatened by replacements by AI, I advise that you start taking courses to improve your skill sets and turn yourself into someone that your company cannot do without.

Yeah right. Since AI is computer related thing I think that is also the best way to make an approach like acquiring skill related to it as we all know that technology is evolving and that is inevitable so for me electronics and computer related courses could still be good but with electronics this is where AI is mostly used especially in auto industry, mobile phones and other electronic related sector. There are actually vocational courses that offers practical and actual trainings depending on our preference like welding, plumbing, caregiving, cookery and many others.

You made a very good point about welders, plumbers, tailors, .... and many other professions that cannot be replaced by what is now called, for some reason, AI. POSSIBLY, when there will be a real AI, which will set its own tasks, getting rid of the unnecessary layer in the form of people, it will create robots - plumbers, and robots - welders, which will fulfill its commands and perform the necessary actions ... But that's another story

Well, an individual can secure a job by acquiring new and unique skills that cannot be taken by AI for a while and I think that is the only solution to that. I've been reading topics that has the same concept as this one like AI taking over human jobs and yeah it's all have the same approach like the one I just said above.

Well, you are right but there are things that we can actually change especially if it has already started, that is why we should not solely rely only on Manuel jobs or which we are unsure of how it will turn out to be in the future, which can make most people to be jobless, so its okay if we also involve ourselves in an online works  because anything happen at anytime even now or in the  future, so let's prepare ourselves so that we won't disappoint or feel bad when things doesn't go our own way.

One thing that AI can't do is the hard labor a business man can do. If you can find sources for raw materials and build your products or cook your products, then you are your own boss and your job will always be with you for certain.

Be a cook. I doubt an AI can emulate that especially when you look for sea food sources locally. Jobs that AI will not be able to take from you like owning a poultry house.

In fact, it is not the job that everyone has to do, so personally I will create my own business, then i will be hundred percent safe. But you can't control everything by robots if you want so the need for humans is and will always be everywhere. This is the sad reality of development that we are now leaning towards technology so human skills are not being valued. But the export of manpower will be certain and without human skills the world will be stagnant. So if we position ourselves best then it is possible to prepare ourselves in the right way.

Does it mean you will hire humans to do the hard work in your business?
For business man to really be hiring humans in his team means he really disapproved of the use of AI today.

A few years ago before AI wasn't in the mind of Elon, there were already robots operating in a Japanese companies. I didnt thought of it as AI but niw that I see its used, I think businessmen today will actually prefer them.

 No unions to fight and they can work 24 hours. Hard to fight the AIs. The tech have existed long time ago.

My guess is that the Government will intervene when job losses increases at an alarming rate. Why? Because by then, tax collections from the middle class (working class) will drop significantly and they will be forced to provide aid to millions of jobless citizens. Imagine no new money but with added expenditure. Governments don't want things like that to happen.

That's right, government won't find funny or be happy about it when such thing occur because they will be needing people to do most of the work for them and even if they didn't say or do anything about it, the high rate of corruption will really affect people live including theirs, so that will make them to make them to look into the matter and also employ more of people than Al or robot.

Yeah as they cannot dictate AI and robots to do whatever they wanted to especially related to corruption and that is an advantage. Human workforce is prone to errors and of course corruption through bribery which is very common anywhere in the world.
