Humans vs AI: New technologies indicate our ability to adapt, innovate, and create
The looming clash between humans and AI in the workforce is a hot topic these days. Generative AI is set to shake up the tasks that employees do, impacting a significant chunk of the US workforce. But, not everyone is buying into the whole “robots are taking over our jobs” narrative. Some experts argue that history shows us that new technologies don’t always spell doom and gloom for employment. They point to our knack for adapting, innovating, and creating new opportunities.
Employers are already feeling the pinch in finding skilled workers in today’s tight job market. And let’s not forget that while AI may disrupt some jobs, it’s also likely to create new ones. Just look at how many job categories have popped up in recent decades that didn’t even exist back in the day. So, before we start panicking about AI stealing all our jobs, maybe we should consider that we might actually be facing a shortage of workers instead.
