How Artificial Intelligence Will Impact The Future Of Tech Jobs

#artificialintelligence

Artificial intelligence may seem like something out of a science fiction movie, but it's used in everything from ride-sharing apps to personalized online shopping suggestions. A common concern with artificial intelligence, or AI, is that it will take over jobs as more tasks become automated. Char Sample, a chief research scientist at the Idaho National Laboratory, believes this is likely, but instead of robots serving you lunch, AI may have more of an impact on cybersecurity and other white-collar jobs. "The people who are blue collar jobs that work in service industry, they're probably not going to be as impacted by AI, but the jobs that are more repetitive in nature, like students who are graduating with cybersecurity degrees, some of their early jobs are running scans and auditing systems, those jobs could be replaced." This may have a disproportional effect on jobs in tech hubs, like Salt Lake City.
