10 Jobs AI Might Soon Replace (And Those That It Won't)
Let's look at 4 of the jobs that they say AI won't replace.
1. Lawyers. -- Yes, for the near future we would still expect that if you need a lawyer you will walk into a law office and meet with a lawyer, not a computer.
However, we also expect that the online legal advice sites will become much better and much more thorough. That if you need a simple will written or a simple contract written you can do that online for a very small fee. We also expect that the lawyer you are meeting with will be using AI. Suppose you need him to read a contract, he probably will have AI go through it first to identify any problems or concerns it picks up. He will probably use AI to write rough drafts that he will then tweek and improve. There is also another area that will probably be used and that is using AI to act as an arbiter in a dispute. Already 99% of cases are settled out of court. I can see two sides agreeing to first go through AI before going to arbitration. The AI will determine what if any judgement there should be. The two parties could accept or else go from there to see an arbiter. So then I suspect that many of the mundane jobs that lawyers do will be replaced quickly, and the more complex jobs they do will get a lot of help from AI, and this will go all the way up the chain to the law courts. Para legals and law clerks will be replaced. A law office may see a reduction of 20% in the work that comes to them and then with the 80% that does come in they can do it with half the lawyers it normally would take because of the assistance that AI provides. Hence, you could see a 60% drop in jobs for lawyers.
2. Graphic designers -- ditto. Yes, we will still have artists, but we can imagine that 60% of the jobs can be replaced as of today for the same reasons.
3. Editors -- ditto. Yes, AI is not as good as a really professional editor, however it is learning fast and is picking up nuance, tone, etc. At this point it can easily do 60% of the work that editors do and will learn at a truly astounding rate.
4. Computer scientists and software developers. Once again, yes, you cannot replace all of them, but AI can easily do 60% of the work they are doing now.
Think of "Turbo Tax". Did it replace tax preparers? No. But did it do 60% of the tax returns? Yes.
