A number of job functions are slowly becoming obsolete because of automation-thanks to artificial intelligence (AI). Take for example the AI-powered chatbots that are steadily transforming service desks and minimizing the need for human intervention. We might even start seeing self-driving cars in the near future. While the thought of losing jobs to robots is understandably disconcerting. It is should be nothing to worry about. Historically, technology has always generated more jobs than it has destroyed.
Additionally, humans have always adapted and evolved with technological changes. The industrial revolutions of the past have witnessed how humans always manage to survive and thrive amidst change. Seeing only the possibility of the loss of jobs in the wake of automation is quite a narrow-minded perception.
