Every time someone speaks of artificial intelligence today, it jumps the fear of losing their jobs. And it is not for less, because every day something new appears that adds points for this to arrive at any time.
This Spanish researcher, who works developing AI, It has a much more honest and clear vision and wanted to make it very clear in a small interview they have done for a Tiktok channel. With total sincerity, he says yes, some works will disappear because an AI can do them.
But he states that we must not think that we will all stay in the street. There will be new and old works that will be transformed with this technology. He says he is not worried because he is on the side of those who design and control these machines. But for others, the thing looks different.
Simple, many junior positions, basic or entry works, will be the most affected. Those professional works that previously served to learn, take experience and upload steps, are in danger because the algorithms can do those easy tasks.
And that is just what is happening already: The Spanish labor market has a youth strike that is around 25%, which is a lot, and above now those basic works are no longer available.
That is why it makes it clear that there will be a problem of social inequality, because many young people will not be able to enter the labor market in fair conditions. This is not science fiction or perhaps; It is something 100% real that is happening in front of our eyes.
The threat with eliminating almost 9 million jobs by 2033, according to the UN
As the UN commented a while, in Spain, more than eight million jobs – in concrete are 8.7 million – are at risk because of the automation that the AI brings.
And no, you are not talking only about jobs that seem easy to replace, but secretaries, ATMs, administrative assistants … People who do routine tasks that machines can make better, faster and without getting tired.
In a nutshell, if your work is to repeat tasks again and again, or if you spend the day in front of a computer doing things that artificial intelligence can learn to do, you have to start worrying. But be careful, not everything is lost. There are works that require creativity, empathy, critical thinking or social skills that machines cannot yet imitate.
On the other hand, it seems that it is also changing professions that previously seemed safe. For example, in the financial sector, AI can analyze data and make decisions in seconds. In health, it can help diagnose diseases. And in education, there are already programs that personalize learning. So, if you don’t adapt, you run the risk of staying behind.
But here is the key: AI can also create employment. According to some experts, more than one and a half million jobs related to technology, programming, data management and innovation could be generated in Spain. The problem is that these works require training and skills that many still do not have.
The International Monetary Fund warns that AI could change 40% of jobs worldwide, especially in advanced countries such as Spain. You can upload productivity up to 40% and release time for more creative tasks, but it can also make less qualified jobs disappear or become more precarious.
And what about salaries? Experts say that technological and creative profiles will be the most demanded and best paidwhile others can be left behind. Therefore, training is key and learning to use AI, understanding how it works and adapting to what is coming. If not, the gap between those who ‘control’ and those who do not, will be increasing.
The great dilemma is that, despite the fact that AI makes life easier, it also makes us very nervous. In the office, the factory or the hospital, most recognize that AI can improve productivity, remove repetitive tasks and open new doors. But, at the same time, they do not stop looking sideways: what if tomorrow is a machine that does my job?
