As
experts predicted, quite a number of jobs in the field of production
have been replaced by automation in technology. Even before coming
up with satisfactory solutions for those who have lost their jobs,
artificial intelligence has begun to take away some white-collar
professions as well.
It is almost impossible for humans to compete with computers when
it comes to the ability to accumulate and utilize big data. An article
in Fortune, a popular American business magazine, compares human
online marketers with computer language software. The software can
choose from thousands of its stored word variations, creating more
appealing lines to attract potential customers. Meanwhile, at law
firms, computers are replacing associate attorneys’ task of searching
through thousands of case documents for supporting evidence.
Economists suggest that people should take advantage of artificial
intelligence and pour their energy on even more advanced tasks that
humans are still best at: innovation and development. After all,
computers are just one of many great creations by humans.
