Must-Have Skills In The New World Of Automation and AI

Artificial intelligence is steadily taking up activities and jobs performed by humans these days. According to a study done by professional services firm PricewaterhouseCoopers, nearly 40 percent of existing U.S. jobs might be replaced by robots in the next 15 years. Unlike previous industrial ages, which forced humans to use their brains more instead of performing physical labor, the AI-based industrial age that is slowly but definitely gaining momentum might actually ease the pressure on the human brain. Simply put, as things get more automated, humans will have to do less, which will in turn make them less skilled. There are two scenarios at hand then: either humans would grow dumber, since they have to do less or they make more use of skills that can't be replicated by AI. Google's DeepMind Artificial Intelligence Is Getting Imagination According to a 2013 study done by the U.S. National Library of Medicine, titled "How to discriminate between computer-aided and computer-hindered decisions: a case study in mammography" radiographers are now less likely to diagnose cancers not flogged by computers.
