IMF did not say AI will take over 40% of all jobs

Furthermore, this creates a big challenge for fresh graduates entering the workforce as they have to face the highest risk and prove to their employers that they can learn well through AI and easily adapt those AI skills, otherwise they won't be given the opportunity to work and make good compensation.

We are entering a time graduated individuals will have to become even more specialized in their areas to stand out among their colleagues in order to ensure the spots of jobs which will supervise AI working in real time. AI will execute the 'grunt work ', although there must be a human behind it analyzing if there are no mistakes being delivered by AI. It means there will be still jobs for humans, although in minor scale.

On the other hand, there are always areas to be less affected by AI, what should be taken into consideration by people who are still in the middle of graduation right now. Areas with less interference of AI are good choices to work with, as it increases the chances there is going to be a spot of job later.

AI will take people's job is just to make people to be scared, but that is far from the truth if they did not let people know that AI is also creating jobs.

Indeed, we have giant corporations, which are concentrating on artificial intelligence, so they have already started getting rid off their employees. Take Oracle for example, which fired thousands of its employees with no intention to hire new workers, as AI proved to be a better alternative to those workers. Although the AI can be a great opportunity to create new jobs, the rate of innovations and developments proceeds faster than what humanity needs. We need AI to create jobs before start firing people from their jobs.

It means 40% of the jobs will be affected, either they will gain more support or go into decline, as it is already happening. Mate, we see it in different sectors AI is replacing jobs, just like in customer care, where a person was present to answer customers questions, but now their place is taken by AI chatbots, and their responses are very quick. AI will make everything very easy and precise in the near future, and that's what the aim of humans is now. However, it will take jobs, and all of the workers will be sent to their homes. Then consider the situation if the maximum number of people are at home, what will they do then?

Exactly but it is not romanticized because the situation is real and AI is already being used and replaced human labor workforce.

And that's why I am believing more those people who are saying that people who don't know how to use AI will be replaced by those who know how to.

Like in the past ages, I think there's also this dilemma that they have experienced when the machines have been invented for manufacturing and made production faster. It's the same as what we're having although one sad reality is that, it's replacing a lot of workforce that can't adapt.

This is a sad reality for those workers who are struggling to adapt AI, but this could also be an advantage for the employers and company owners because they don't have to go through expensive manpower expenses because of limited workers now.

I don't think so, they also going through with the same costing problem. Replacing human laborforce is already showing up some costing problem.

They'll choose the human labor force soon when they've seen their expenses that's it's more expensive to use AI than real human service.

Furthermore, this creates a big challenge for fresh graduates entering the workforce as they have to face the highest risk and prove to their employers that they can learn well through AI and easily adapt those AI skills, otherwise they won't be given the opportunity to work and make good compensation.

It can also be a challenge and tip to them on what they should do.

The world job market is wide but, they really have to adapt how to use AI.

No one knows what's going to happen here, but i would rather educate myself on how to use these tools than freak out because of a headline, it is the same fud we see in the crypto world.

That's the least we can do than ignore it and regret later. AI taking over our jobs isn't a hype, its already happening in certain areas. If we still love our jobs, then we have to learn AI integration and learn those skills that will maximize our job performance, not avoiding it since AI itself is here for good.

Those who freak out does only mean one thing, they're not open for AI or they really have no idea how AI works and make more quality and highly efficient jobs.

It has forced everyone to learn due to the fear that it has given that they'll remove and replace jobs.
Somehow, it's a good occurrence because forcing us to learn the tool itself for the productivity makes us don't want to lose in the job market.
While it has made more jobs too but, it's sad that there are people who lost jobs due to it but yes, those who don't know how to use it will lose theirs.

It has it's positive and negative effect of AI in our lives now. Before we can only watch it in screen and movies and we totally laugh at it. But now it might our reality in the next 5-10 years are AI are going to be involved in all facets of our jobs.

And yes, it has the possibility to take over most of our jobs specially in the likes of manufacturing wherein it needed human power. With AI the production could be as efficient and close to 100% as this robots doesn't have emotions and will just do their jobs without complains.

So true, the movies, the virtual realities, and everything that comes with the artificial intelligence taking over human is about to get real.
But not to the point that we should be scared of. The capability is there but that shouldn't bring fear and anxiety.
We move on and as humans, we have the ability to adapt with the situation and that's what everyone is doing now.

Most of the jobs that are manually done are now getting the prompt of AI and they are phasing out. Growing up, we had video camera studios everywhere on the streets and we had young people learn the skill as vocation but with the current AI advancement, it can help you with different designs, videos and almost anything you want to do. Office desk assistant like customer service is now changing with the help of AI, first line response are now done by bots at least the less complex stage. Some companies now have telegram bot that take first line request from customers and direct them on their enquiry. Banks are also cutting down on the numbers of staffs that they are using because of the different rolls AI is used to assist in labour. ATM has really helped to decongest the numbers of people clustering the cashier desk years back. So in big organizations, AI is being used to take over jobs of receptionist because you don't need human interaction or to open doors to have access. In music, AI is used to compose songs, AI is used to write script etc. You can compose your own song using AI and that means soon, musicians will be hit with what is coming.

In virtually all fields of live, AI has a kind of effect and change in them. I have heard that AI is now used to read scan faster.

It is true that AI is going to take the job market but that does not mean human skills are going to be useless. The way people work is being changed because of the technology. Because of the presence of ATMs, the need to go to banking services has reduced but the banks still need people for their financial advice; they also need employees for problem solving for security purposes and for the other responsibilities that they need to meet. Videos can be generated, songs can be composed and customers can get answers to questions with the help of AI. These things are not the same as doing something valuable, trustworthy or original. Businesses still need people who can help them to understand their customers; they also need people to make good decisions and to check the quality of work that is being generated by Artificial intelligence and to be held accountable for anything that goes wrong. It is true that AI is going to replace certain jobs but yes, it is going to create more opportunities.
