The Increased Use of Robotics and AI Can Help Create New Jobs

Robots have been able to supplant humans to help stem the tide of coronavirus infections and artificial intelligence has been able to interpret data related to Covid-19 at alarming speed. While this might seemingly pose a threat to jobs, the disruption could actually help create new jobs, according to a Venture Beat article. "Contrary to some beliefs, I see robots as creating vast amounts of new jobs in the future," said Slamcore co-founder and CEO Owen Nicholson. "Just like 50 years ago a website designer, vlogger, or database architect were not things, over the next 50 years we will see many new types of job emerge." One example where employment opportunities could open up is via robot pilots.
