Having robots do things around the house sounds pretty awesome, but artificial intelligence taking well-paying jobs from us is another matter. After all, you need that paycheck, right? Don’t worry. Lots of jobs will still require human input and aren’t going anywhere, anytime soon.
Here are five things humans will do in an AI world.
Yes, it’s true that robotics and nanorobotics are hot topics in healthcare innovation. And these technologies can make significant contributions to medicine, ultimately making surgical procedures safer and more effective for patients. But one area of healthcare that will continue to depend on human specialists is psychology. Human emotions involve far too many variables for artificial intelligence to accurately diagnose and treat.
Sure, computers are pretty good at sorting data. And that means they will certainly be able to find relevant documents and cases as needed for reference. But the actual process of representing and judging humans will remain in the hands of actual humans for the foreseeable future. Artificial intelligence programming just can’t make the same kind of nuanced decisions that human brains are capable of. Although crimes may seem like only a matter of right or wrong, most cases have a variety of circumstances, nuances and differing points of view from plaintiffs and defendants. AI requires reliable data, which simply isn’t available in every legal case, as well as professional judgment.
