AI is coming for our jobs – but which ones?
Is the job of a plumber or a carpenter more secure than that of an architect or a fund manager?
Charles Darwin University’s AI expert, Associate Professor Niusha Shafiabady, takes a look at which businesses and industries will be affected most by AI.
Most of us, regardless if we are heading major corporations or living our quiet, everyday lives, want to know which jobs will be lost to artificial intelligence.
This is an important question, because it helps us make informed decisions about our careers.
AI’s strength lies in learning the repetitive patterns. Meaning, that if it wants to imitate someone playing ping pong, it should have seen many samples of how people play it. For the system to learn the patterns, we show it roughly 70% of the recorded ping pong games, which are our samples. This is called training the system. After the AI has been trained, we want to see how well it can imitate playing tennis.
